Because black men are citizens of this nation too. They fought in the war during that time..so why shouldn't they have had the right to vote as well...?

Frederick Douglass was a former slave and social activist. He was also a writer and public speaker. Although he was involved in a variety of issues, he is mostly remembered for his efforts to achieve the abolition of slavery.

In his writings, Douglass discusses why he believes that black men should have the right to vote. He argues that black men have greatly contributed to the country. They work in the fields, they fight wars. However, even though they share the burdens of citizenship, they are often denied basic rights. Moreover, he argues that the independence movement began because Americans wanted the right to create their own laws. However, this right is exclusive of the white population.

Answer: A. The Alamo was the most important location in Texas.
William B. Travis was left in the care of the Alamo, by Colonel James Bowie, and when the Mexican army began siege to the Alamo, Travis sent letters requesting arms and supplies, along with reinforcements to defend it, since Travis thought along with Bowie , that maintaining the Alamo was crucial, and in Travis' most famous and patriotic letter, addressing the people of Texas and all the Americans in the world, he expressed that he would remain defending the Alamo as long as he could, and die as a soldier, since he would never surrender to the army of Santa Anna, and defend his honor.
