The Hypocrisy of American Slavery

English
1 answer:
dmitriy555 [2]3 years ago
5 0

The speaker's intent in this excerpt from the speech is most likely to criticize the white population for celebrating liberty while enforcing slavery on the black population (B).

Frederick Douglass gave this speech in Rochester, New York on July 4th, 1852.

In the text, Douglass denounces the irony which results from asking him, a black former slave, to speak on a holiday which is meant to represent liberty for Americans. Indeed, while they cheer and celebrate, their slaves can only dream of freedom: "above your ... tumultuous joy, I hear the mournful wail of millions, whose chains ... are today rendered more intolerable by the jubilant shouts that reach them." Douglass is saying America is "false to the present" if it thinks of itself as a nation of liberty, because it is ignoring the people who cannot take part in this liberty.

Hi ines! I don´t know if this will help you! i made my self

Explanation:

                                         “TO BE ON A WAR”

                                                    1914 – 1918

                            We think of war, we think of a conflict.

           Not one, not two, but three allies, against three adversaries.  

                  Also called the triple alliance and the triple entente.

                            Each battle has a winner, as does a loser.

                            And always a leader behind everything.

                           Marne, Galipoli, Verdun, Somme, Cambrai;

                             These battles were important in this war.

All the soldiers felt pain, fear, of not knowing if they were going to survive                                                                              the war;

   With our knees together, we crawled as we could through the mud.

                                  We get to the flashes of lights;

   We turned around and started walking towards that distant rest.

    Russia to the east, France to the west, and Germany had the best.

    Schlieffen counted on German victory , in the West would be quick;  

                      And that Russian mobilisation would be slow.

             The power to convince goes in what the person can see.

                    If it is something imaginary, you will not trust,

                           that is why propaganda was made of.
