Read the excerpt from "What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?".But I fancy I hear some one of my audience say, âIt is just in
this circumstance that you and your brother abolitionists fail to make a favorable impression on the public mind. Would you argue more, and denounce less; would you persuade more, and rebuke less; your cause would be much more likely to succeed.â But, I submit, where all is plain there is nothing to be argued. What point in the anti-slavery creed would you have me argue? On what branch of the subject do the people of this country need light? Must I undertake to prove that the slave is a man? That point is conceded already. Nobody doubts it.In "What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?â, Douglass refers to the Declaration of Independence. Which of the following best describes the historical significance of this reference?(A) It is significant because a prominent leader was suggesting that the unequal treatment of African Americans was supported by the principles of the Declaration of Independence.(B) It is significant because a prominent leader was suggesting that the unequal treatment of African Americans was in direct opposition to the principles of the Declaration of Independence.(C) It is significant because a prominent leader was suggesting that, although the Declaration of Independence was written by worthy and admirable men, its principles were greatly misguided.(D) It is significant because a prominent leader was suggesting that, although the Declaration of Independence was a worthy document, it desperately needed some improvements and additions.
