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!

OLEGan [10]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although the question doesn't include options, we can say the following.

The "Diggers" were a group in the 1960s Haight-Ashbury neighborhood inspired by the original English Diggers and famous for promoting the anarchist guerrilla street theater.

These Diggers started in San Francisco Bay as a group of street theater that questioned the counterculture that surged in the 1960s with the hippies' ideals. Their performances in the streets of San Franciso were influenced by the bohemian art scene of the Bay Area and the peace movements that started in New York City. The group supported ideas of a free society where private property was no more. Instead, they favored the free exchange of things.
