I am not going to answer in a paragraph of 125 words, but I will give you the answer to the first question; The United States didn't want another country to fall to communism. They officially got involved after the attack of the Gulf of Tonkin (U.S destroyers were stationed there and a radio came in that said they had been fired upon by North Vietnamese forces).  (45 words BTW).

Explanation:

Americans came to serve in the Vietnam war because of the Military Draft system which as also known as the conscription. It was employed by the federal government of Us in five conflicts: The American Revolution, The American Civil War, Cold War, World War one & two and the Korean War. The draft lasted from 1940 to 1973, in which men were drafted to serve in the military when the posts were could not be filled by voluntary means.

The Draft angered many Americans because it imposed an obligation to serve in the military forces and also because  Those having contacts in local boards were able to evade the draft.

The Draft during the Vietnam war worked on birth dates.  It functioned through two lotteries. In the first lottery, the birth dates of the candidates who would be called were decided and in the second lottery which was held on the same day as the first one, was used to choose the order of selection.

What was most likely the author’s immediate purpose in writing what to the slave is the fourth of july?""
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

To persuade readers about the unjust treatment of the African Americans.

Explanation:

"What to the Slaves is the Fourth of July?" is a speech given by Frederick Douglass on the occasion of July 5th, 1852 in Rochester, New York. In it, he emphasized on the American independence celebration which grips the whole nation but the African American community (slaves) did not actually have a cause for celebration. They are still chained and bounded to their initial status and have not experienced any form of freedom.

Douglass was also a former slave but earned his freedom and got an education, later becoming an abolitionist and worked for the freedom of his people. He delivered this speech during the Rochester Ladies' Anti-Slavery Society's meeting. In it, he called upon the injustice that the slaves are facing, while the nation is celebrating "its" freedom. Though the label "nation" includes each and everyone living in the country, and that that freedom is for all, the slaves are still bounded to their position and no one seems to care. His anti-slavery speech became one of the most important works for the abolitionist, including his autobiography. To him, it is ironic that America is celebrating her independence from being under the colonialist rule of Britain, a form of slavery but at the same time, still kept slaves themselves. The slavery system that was still prevalent and in practice even after the independence was what made him question the American people. The one reason/ purpose he most likely wrote this speech was to persuade the readers (audience) about the unjust treatment of the African Americans.
