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

History

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!

Mkey [24]

<em>The statement that describes a public good is </em><em>B. the benefit to the public is worth the cost to government. </em>

<u>Public goods</u> are products that one member of the society can consume without reducing its availability to the rest and that can be consumed simultaneously by more than one individual.  Moreover, no one is deprived from this good, that could be enjoyed even without paying for it.
