Question

Read the excerpt from "What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?” Must I argue the wrongfulness of slavery? Is that a question for Republicans? Is it to be settled by the rules of logic and argumentation, as a matter beset with great difficulty, involving a doubtful application of the principle of justice, hard to be understood?

Answer 1

Yes your position will be focused on this topic and depends on the forcefulness and appeal of your opinion to your audience or reader.
