This term probably derives from a phrase coined by Shakespeare, who wrote “a horse of that color”, meaning “the same matter” rather than a different one. By the mid-1800s the term was used to point out difference rather than likeness.

'Horse of another color' is the opposite expression from Shakespeare's 'a horse of that color' in the Twelfth Night Act 2 Scene 3 where Maria told Sir Toby Belch that her purpose was indeed a horse of that color which meant that Sir Toby Belch got the same idea as hers. So, 'horse of another color' is an idea different from the other.

Which sentence from the excerpt best reveals the context of the excerpt? Once these disparate parts were held together by a comm

umka2103 [35]

The sentence that best reveals the context is: "With the end of the cold war there was the creeping concern that without a focus for hatred and distrust, a sense of national identity would evaporate, that the left side of the hyphen—African-American, Mexican-American, Irish-American—would overwhelm the right."

By reading "...the end of the cold war...", the reader infers the time the story is set in. The Cold War started after the Second World War (1945) and ended in 1991 with the end of the Soviet Union.

In addition, by reading "...the left side of the hyphen - African-American, Mexican-American, Irish-American - would overwhelm the right", readers can deduce that the author is referring to the US and its fear of loosing a sense of nationalism and unity among its diverse population.

In all, the setting is the US in the early 90's because of the reference to the end of the Cold War and the fear of not being unified anymore.
