What type of fallacy does this argument represent?

English

The argument is that the original US Constitution did not intend for African slaves to be “citizens” of the United States. It is historically false since as dissenter justices Curtis and McLean stated, five of the original 13 states had a sizable minority of free black men who were citizens that could also vote in federal and state elections. Now that being established, the correct answer should be “hasty generalization” since the argument pretends that all citizens, at the time of the ratification of the constitution were white and that only these "all white" citizens were able to vote which is historically false. It could not be a genetic fallacy since the historical precedent invalidates the claim that the intended meaning of the word “citizens” only applied to white Americans. It could not be an <em>ad populum</em> fallacy since not all Americans agreed with such contention,  and finally, it could not be a case of begging the claim since they do provide a finding that in their view supports their erroneous conclusion, so it is not circular logic.

Read the excerpt from The Odyssey. In a smithy one sees a white-hot axehead or an adze plunged and wrung in a cold tub, screechi
Alexeev081 [22]

The answer is: how hot the spear is.  

An epic simile, or Homeric simile, is a comparison between something familiar or ordinary and something strange. It is usually many lines long and it helps the reader make the scene described, usually at moments of turmoil or battle, more vivid. In the epic simile above, Homer makes the reader understand how hot the spear that blinds the cyclops is by comparing the eye of the cyclops to a cold tub as the spear that blinded him penetrates it, just like a piece of metal would enter a tub in order to be molded.
