Answer:
The Ten Commandments are the supreme expression of God’s will in the Old Testament and merit our close attention. They are to be thought of not as the ten most important commands among hundreds of others, but as a digest of the entire Torah. The foundation of all the Torah rests in the Ten Commandments, and somewhere within them we should be able to find all the law. Jesus expressed the essential unity of the Ten Commandments with the rest of the law when he summarized the law in the famous words, “ 'You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.' This is the greatest and first commandment. And a second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets” (Matt. 22:37-40). All the law, as well as the prophets, is indicated whenever the Ten Commandments are expressed.
The essential unity of the Ten Commandments with the rest of the law, and their continuity with the New Testament, invites us to apply them to today’s work broadly in light of the rest of the Scripture. That is, when applying the Ten Commandments, we will take into account related passages of Scripture in both the Old and New Testaments.
Answer:
Douglass states that Mr Covey gave him "very severe whipping, cutting my back..." This line is great evidence that supports the mean idea as it shows how slaves are treated worse than animals even. The rest of the passage provides various scenarios, all leading up to the main idea. Douglass states that he has "marks visible for a long time after." This further brings up the inexcusable actions that were done to the slaves. Animals may be treated badly from time to time but the slaves were constantly victims to lashings of anger.
Paragraph 2:
(I don't have the actual passage so i can't give evidence sorry, just put some quotes in alongside it)
The hypocrisy came from the people who slaved to the slaves. Religiously, not many people agreed on it , however, it still thrived due to the different variations in the religious beliefs. People that appeared 'religious' and that were wealthy could do anything with the slaves and no one would object because after all they were religious.

Vote, protest, not support the “stuff”
Correct answer: Read English
Details:
After slavery was ended in the United States and African Americans were to be considered full citizens, many states in the South implemented voting laws that were meant to block African Americans from actual voting access. One of these measures compelled voters to prove to voting authorities that they could read and write in English. The black community had less access to education than whites even after slavery was ended; thus their literacy rates were lower. The authorities (who were white) administering the tests also were known to be biased in whether they considered a person to have passed the tests or not.
Poll taxes were another measure used to block the black vote. African Americans experienced much poverty because of prejudice against them in the economic system of the country, so poll taxes could keep them from going to the polls to vote.
"Grandfather clauses" were also implemented, which were exemptions granted to those whose forefathers ("grandfathers") had full voting rights prior to the Civil War. That way, if there were poor or illiterate whites, they could vote freely while blacks (whose ancestors had been slaves) were subjected to the laws restricting their voting ability.
These sorts of restrictions against black voters prompted much of the activism of the civil rights movement that began in the middle of the 20th century.
