This is a very long speech but the gist of the speech is that white men received liberty and freedom in 1776. Independence from Britain happened for those who were not slaves and so the 4th of July is a reminder of the inequality and cruelty of the American promise. 

The following is the most famous lines of the speech. It is about half way through his speech which he delivered to the President and fellow citizens on July 5, 1852. 
"<span>What, to the American slave, is your 4th of July? I answer: a day that reveals to him, more than all other days in the year, the gross injustice and cruelty to which he is the constant victim."</span>

Which reason explains why diseases like smallpox had such a devastating effect on the Aztec and Inca populations?

Answer:

have fallen by more than one-half.

Explanation:

Thick, noticeable smog in many of the cities and manufacturing centers of the United States helped bring the 1970 e Clean Air Act to spur passage at the height of the national environmental movement. The ensuing modifications were intended to enhance its effectiveness and address newly recognized problems of air pollution such as acid rain and stratospheric ozone layer damage. The Clean Air Act allows EPA to set national environmental air quality levels for certain specific and prevalent contaminants, based on the latest research, to protect public health and welfare nationally. Certain main regulations are intended to reduce the rise in emissions from increasing motor vehicle numbers and new manufacturing plants.
