Hi There!
Question - Which statement is best supported by the fact that Lemuel Haynes fought in the Connecticut militia during the American Revolution?
Answer - Haynes and other slaves were forced to fight for the American revolutionaries.
Why - The reason its option B is because it infers the the original statement the best rather than the others.
<u>Let's compare the statements with the debates on immigration happening today</u>
- <em>Nativists tried to get rid of the immigrants as they thought they were going to ruin the U.S. </em>
Such ideas definitely still present nowadays. There is a big political stream which bases its policy proposals on limiting immigration flows, as they claim that those people who are arriving in the country are the ones to blame for the miseries that some US people are experiencing in their lives, for example, one argument that is constantly repeated is that immigrants come and steal jobs from US workers.
For example, the current US goverment leaded by D. Trump is trying to approve in Congress a measure to built a wall in the Mexican border to prevent people from crossing ilegally. Therefore, nativist policies are not very far away.
- <em>Immigrants continued to dream and they tried really hard to find good paying jobs and live the life.</em>
On the other hand, the ones who are actually living in misery in their home countries are those who arrive at the US borders seeking for a better life. No matter how many barriers they encounter in the way anything is better than the violence or poverty they were facing back home, and therefore they will not give up.
An example are the large groups of people who are travelling on foot from Honduras towards the US, scaping from the country with more violence in the world, seeking for a safe and prosperous life. They have probably heard the threats of D. Trump's goverment, saying that they would not be allowed to enter in the country, but still they continue on their way with a fixed purpouse.
