Which sentence in this excerpt from Walking with the Wind: A Memoir of the Movement uses figurative language as an implicit pers

uasive device?
In some parts of the South we work in the fields from sunup to sundown for $12 a week. In Albany, Georgia, nine of our leaders have been indicted not by Dixiecrats but by the federal government for peaceful protest. But what did the federal government do when Albany's deputy sheriff beat attorney C. B. King and left him half dead? What did the federal government do when local police officials kicked and assaulted the pregnant wife of Slater King, and she lost her baby?
It seems to me that the Albany indictment is part of a conspiracy on the part of the federal government and local politicians in the interest of expediency.
I want to know, which side is the federal government on?
The revolution is at hand, and we must free ourselves of the chains of political and economic slavery.

It is necessary to understand the use of persuasive language in writings. Persuasive language is used by some writers to call the readers' attention, to make them think or behave in a particular way.

"Walking with the Wind: A Memoir of the Movement" is a novel written in 1998 by John Lewis with Mike D'Orso and it tells one of the most important records of the American Civil Rights movement. In this excerpt, John Lewis, the main character, is giving a speech, sending the message that Civil rights advocates cannot expect the federal government to promote justice.

In this speech, Lewis is presenting all the facts about how government disregards the Civil rights in order to support his ideas. At the end he tries to persuade his audience by saying "The revolution is at hand, and we must free ourselves of the chains of political and economic slavery." By saying such phrase he is trying to make the audience think and take action. He wants them to take part in the revolution and stand up for themselves. He, therefore, is persuading them to do what is best for them and to protect the Civil Rights.
