The correct answer is; Because of British oppression, Americans should understand the plight of slaves.
Further Explanation:
In an excerpt from the letter Mr. Banneker mentions how Americans were mistreated by the British Crown and how Americans fought for their freedom. He was writing the letter so that he could appeal to Thomas Jefferson's own life lessons he had lived through with the British.
There was nothing in the letter about people being of different religions and he did not speak about how more people learning will make them oppose slavery any more than they already did.
Benjamin Banneker was a freed slave who went on to become an author, farmer, and many other things in his lifetime. He self taught himself how to read and write.

Are you asking about a person’s name in a story?
Help and advice - start by bullet pointing the information, you will then find that putting your points together will make a good paragraph!
A Possible Explanation: I believe the metaphor at the end, "being men as well as leaves, to die for the sun", is referring back to the personification/simile seen here: "midsummer's leaves race to extinction like the roar
of a Brixton riot tunneled by water hoses".
In tandem, the word lemmings has two meanings, as read in the dictionary: "a small, short-tailed, thickset rodent related to the voles, found in the Arctic tundra."
and
"a person who unthinkingly joins a mass movement, especially a headlong rush to destruction."
I believe "autumn's fire" and "the sun" are both symbolic of war, an idea of it, and/or passion for it. I read that this poem is criticizing the human aspect that is war and how short-lived and ignorant it all ends up coming out to be.
I hope this helps ♡
