Answer:

B. Enlightenment thinkers valued individual liberty, but the U.S. government continued to allow slaves to be deprived of all liberty.

Explanation:

The Enlightenment, also known as the "Century of Lights," was a European intellectual movement that emerged in France in the seventeenth century. The main feature of this current of thought was to defend the use of reason over faith to understand and solve the problems of society. Enlightenment thinkers advocated scientific thinking, the use of ration and the defense of freedom. They believed that individual freedom should be valued and therefore believed it was incorrect to keep slaves captive.

However the US government supported the politics of slavery and continued to enslave black people. This divergence between the ideals of freedom between the Enlightenment and the US government best illustrates the contradiction between Enlightenment values and government policies in the early United States.
