The correct option is <em><u>A. African Americans deserve equal treatment and status in American society.</u></em>

Further Explanation:

On July 5, 1852,  Fredrick Douglas gave one of the famous speech "What to the Slave Is the Fourth of July?" The fourth of July is the day of freedom for the people of America. In the speech, Douglas comments on the celebration of the day and says that to celebrate such a day is very ironical. He says that the celebration of freedom which the people are celebrating is in reality still under slavery. He had used rhetorical questions to ask the people whether they are in reality a free citizen to celebrate such a day. He reminds the people of the unjust treatment they are exposed to in their own country. Behind their celebration, they are forced to lead the life of a slave with an absence of freedom to them. He adds that the celebration of the fourth of July is like a mockery against the African Americans. In reality, the celebration is a way of veiling the cruelty which the people experience in reality. The speech is meant to bring a change among the thoughts of the people and the American government. He urges the people to be together to bring an end to such a horrific present. His request to the African Americans is to see the real face of the government and to work to repair the damages.

The answer is A. The chief claim of "What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?” is that African Americans deserve equal treatment and status in American society.

EXPLANATION

“What to the Slave is the Fourth July” is written by Frederick Douglass. It was a speech that’s delivered on July 5, 1852. The speech was focusing on anti-slavery society since Douglass himself was a former slave. The speech was being delivered the first time in Rochester, New York’s Corinthian Hall.

This speech gave people a lot of confusion since the title and the date of the speech were different. The date that the speech was delivered was on the fifth of July, but the title of the speech is fourth July. The Frederick Douglass Papers, Series 1, Vol 2, was published with the “What to the Slave is the Fourth July” speech inside it.

The speech includes arguments about the slave trade in the United States. Douglass mainly stated that the slave trade did not align with US values. The values in the United States are freedom, citizenship, and liberty. The slaves in the US did not have freedom since they were chained to enslavement. The slaves did not have any rights.

Douglass did not only protest about the captivity that the slaves have experienced. Douglass also stated that there was a lot of exploitation and cruelty that the slaves experienced. Violence on slaves made them did not have any will and rights.
