The correct answer is; Because of British oppression, Americans should understand the plight of slaves.
Further Explanation:
In an excerpt from the letter Mr. Banneker mentions how Americans were mistreated by the British Crown and how Americans fought for their freedom. He was writing the letter so that he could appeal to Thomas Jefferson's own life lessons he had lived through with the British.
There was nothing in the letter about people being of different religions and he did not speak about how more people learning will make them oppose slavery any more than they already did.
Benjamin Banneker was a freed slave who went on to become an author, farmer, and many other things in his lifetime. He self taught himself how to read and write.
