The 2020 presidential election has been a disaster for people who think the Electoral College is still a good idea. Joe Biden’s clear victory has been followed by attempts by the incumbent president to induce Republican legislators and other elected Republican officials in five states he lost to ignore the certified vote counts in their states and substitute their partisan preferences for the voters’ decision.

One day I heard that our ancestors were cave painting. It seemed so interesting to me! I was not sure whether they did it for decorating or if they were just training. I decided to try myself in the role of a primitive artist. I took Bear's tools from a storehouse and started to scratch everything that I saw: the walls, the postboxes and the furniture. The Screwdriver was my favorite tool. It was so entertaining. When I got to Bear's antiques he saw me aaand... scolded me!

President Truman assigned General Douglas MacArthur as the leader of the UN troops. Truman wanted to restore peace in North and South Korea as soon as possible.

Answer:
B. Historian A wants to make the colonists appear in a negative light by suggesting that they did not really believe in freedom for all.
Explanation:
The whole point of the American Revolution is that the colonists wanted to overthrow the oppressive British government who was imposing more and more taxes on them. Historian A believed that the American colonists were wrong in starting the Revolution, because they were 1) well protected by the British, and that 2) they do not act on what they want.
For example, the American Revolution was basically the 13 Colonies trying to win freedom from the "oppressive" United Kingdom. However, the historian points out that while they themselves know how it feels like to be under oppression, they do not think of their slaves as those who, like them, wanted freedom. This is a "looking-down" view, and the slaves should have been freed at the end of the Revolutionary War. This proves that the US citizens did not believe of "freedom & rights for all", but rather, only for white males.
