John Hancock (January 23, 1737 [O.S. January 12, 1736] – October 8, 1793) was an American merchant, statesman, and prominent Patriot of the American Revolution. He served as president of the Second Continental Congress and was the first and third Governor of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. He is remembered for his large and stylish signature on the United States Declaration of Independence, so much so that the term John Hancock has become a synonym in the United States for one's signature.[2]

Before the American Revolution, Hancock was one of the wealthiest men in the Thirteen Colonies, having inherited a profitable mercantile business from his uncle. He began his political career in Boston as a protégé of Samuel Adams, an influential local politician, though the two men later became estranged. Hancock used his wealth to support the colonial cause as tensions increased between colonists and Great Britain in the 1760s. He became very popular in Massachusetts, especially after British officials seized his sloop Liberty in 1768 and charged him with smuggling. Those charges were eventually dropped; he has often been described as a smuggler in historical accounts, but the accuracy of this characterization has been questioned.

Hancock was one of Boston's leaders during the crisis that led to the outbreak of the American Revolutionary War in 1775. He served more than two years in the Continental Congress in Philadelphia, and he was the first to sign the Declaration of Independence in his position as president of Congress. He returned to Massachusetts and was elected governor of the Commonwealth, serving in that role for most of his remaining years. He used his influence to ensure that Massachusetts ratified the United States Constitution in 1788.

The speaker in "harlem" contemplates
natali 33 [55]
<h3>Answer choices are:</h3>

A. The outcome of people's hatred.

B. The fate of aspirations that are unrealized.

C. The result of heavy labor in extreme conditions.

D. The consequences of childhood neglect.

____________________________________________________________

Correct answer choice is:

<h2>B. The fate of aspirations that are unrealized.</h2><h2>________________________________________</h2><h3>Explanation:</h3>

The speaker inspirations about the prospect of a “dream deferred.” It is not completely explicit who the speaker is –maybe the poet, maybe a professor, possibly an indistinct black man or woman. The mystery is a compelling one, and there is a feeling of quiet after it. Hughes then practices clear resemblances to invoke the image of a deferred dream. He assumes it wiping up, rotting, stinking, crusting over, or, ultimately, collapsing. All of these images, while not completely drastic, have a slightly dark tone to them.
