The correct answer is <span>The colonists could criticize the government as long as they were speaking the truth. 

Zenger was accused of criticizing the government because it was perceived to be libel. When it was proven that it wasn't libel but rather that he was pointing out things that are true, it was established that speaking truth even against your government means that you can't be charged with libel since libel is based around defamatory lies.</span>

Answer: One major difference is that King's believes that slavery didn't play a role, while Burns' does. A historical event that could support King's is when Congress established the Freedmen's Bureau in 1865. This provided aid to African Americans in their transition from slavery to freedom. A historical event that could support Burns' is Dred Scott v. Sandford. The case in 1857 declared that slaves and blacks descended from slaves and were not American citizens and cannot sue, so this could have led to outrage and war.
