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!

how has federal legislation since the 1980s reflected american concerns about potential negative effects of international migrat
jenyasd209 [6]
The way that federal legislation since the 1980s reflected American concerns about potential negative effects of international migration was: <span> it has increased requirements for migrants seeking citizenship

The abundance amount of migrants will increase the total welfare expense that the country has to spend and will pretty much shrink the potential jobs available for our own citizen. As a response for that, we regulate the citizenship process and only allowed the migrants that would increase our economic capabilities.
