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!

A major event for the Women’s Suffrage Crusade is 1848’s Seneca Falls Convention where prominent leaders of the movement (such as Elizabeth Cady Stanton) drafted a constitution very similar to the current country’s constitution with the addition of women being added with “all men are created equal”, etc.
In 1920 the 19th Amendment was passed which gave women the right to vote.
The women’s suffrage movement was kind of put on the back burner due to the rise of World War 1 (not saying women’s right to vote wasn’t important but it was a global war). However, WWI brought the issue back to light when men returned home to find that women had taken their jobs at factories, etc and didn’t want to be pushed back into the home.
At the time, there were women who believed that women’s suffrage would cause problems and therefore didn’t support it.
2020 was the 100th year anniversary of women’s suffrage.
I honestly don’t know a ton about in countries so sorry about that.
