What is the paradox as related to slavery in the United States?

History
1 answer:
EastWind [94]3 years ago

Hey there!

The answer is A. That slavery was still allowed in a free nation.

One of the things the colonists fought for was freedom. Freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and freedom of the press along with other things.

However, for hundreds of thousands of slaves torn away from their homes, they had none of these freedoms. They were considered inferior and not people.

A paradox is a statement that seems absurd of self-contradictory, which this statement very much is. If the U.S. is a free nation, then why do hundreds of thousands of people living there have no freedoms, stolen from them by the very people who advocated for their own freedom?

Hope this helps!

How did the g.i. bill of rights, which provided funds for home loans, affect african americans?
fredd [130]
The correct answer is C.

The GI Bill was one of the most influential post World War II policies. The goal was to help those who served in this war to gain an education and start a life with their families. However, African-Americans were discriminated against despite their service to the country. One historian who studied this topic, Ira Katznelson, found that out of the first 67,000 mortgages given through the GI Bill, less than 100 of them were given to African-American veterans. This shows how African-Americans faced discrimination by banks who refused to give them a loan.

Thousands of English Puritans arrived in Massachusetts Bay during the Great Migration. Why were they coming to the colony?
Misha Larkins [42]
The correct answer is
<span>D. They fled from religious persecution in England.

They were puritans so everyone in Europe disliked them. Puritans were something like extremist protestant Christians with extreme work ethics and ideas of Christian purity. This wasn't approved by the regular Catholics or by the common protestants.</span>
