Answer:

African Americans were performing the same duties as others without the same rights.

Explanation:

This speech, given by Frederick Douglas during 1852, was symbolic of United States during the middle of the 19th century. During this time, millions of African Americans were enslaved and forced to work on plantations. At this time, many slaves were considered property and not people. Even though these slaves did the same labor as other citizens, they had almost no rights in terms of politics or economics. This is why Douglas writes this speech. His goal is to show the contradictions within American society.

The correct option is: <em>African Americans were performing the same duties as others without the same rights.</em>

The first new england colony to be settled
Kryger [21]
