Answer:

Explanation:

   immediately told the Quaker that, if his slave would, to his own face, say that it was his desire to be free, he would liberate him. An interview was forthwith procured, and Nathan was asked by his young master whether he had ever had any reason to complain of his treatment, in any respect.

 "No, Mas'r," said Nathan; "you've always been good to me."

 "Well, then, why do you want to leave me?"

 "Mas'r may die, and then who get me?—I'd rather be a free man."

 After some deliberation, the young master replied, "Nathan, in your place, I think I should feel very much so, myself. You are free."

 He immediately made him out free papers; deposited a sum of money in the hands of the Quaker, to be judiciously used in assisting him to start in life, and left a very sensible and kind letter of advice to the young man. That letter was for some time in the writer's hands.

 The author hopes she has done justice to that nobility,

generosity, and humanity, which in many cases characterize individuals at the South. Such instances save us from utter despair of our kind. But, she asks any person, who knows the world, are such characters common, anywhere?

 For many years of her life, the author avoided all reading upon or allusion to the subject of slavery, considering it as too painful to be inquired into, and one which advancing light and civilization would certainly live down. But, since the legislative act of 1850, when she heard, with perfect surprise and consternation, Christian and humane people actually recommending the remanding escaped fugitives into slavery, as a duty binding on good citizens,—when she heard, on all hands, from kind, compassionate and estimable people, in the free states of the North, deliberations and discussions as to what Christian duty could be on this head,—she could only think, These men and Christians cannot know what slavery is; if they did, such a question could never be open for discussion. And from this arose a desire to exhibit it in a living dramatic reality. She has endeavored to show it fairly, in its best and its worst phases. In its best aspect, she has, perhaps, been successful; but, oh! who shall say what yet remains untold in that valley and shadow of death, that lies the other side?

 To you, generous, noble-minded men and women, of the South,—you, whose virtue, and magnanimity, and purity of character, are the greater for the severer trial it has encountered,—to you is her appeal. Have you not, in your own secret souls, in your own private conversings, felt that there are woes and evils, in this accursed system, far beyond what are here shadowed, or can be shadowed? Can it be otherwise? Is man ever a creature to be trusted with wholly irresponsible power? And does not the slave system, by

When two statements are connected with the word or, the new statement is called a____. A. conjunction. B. disjunction. C. condit
lawyer [7]

Answer:

B. Disjunction.

Explanation:

To answer this question we need to know what disjunction means.

<u>When two statements are connected with the word 'or', the new statement is called </u><u>a disjunction.</u><u> In other words, a disjunction is a compound sentence formed by using the word 'or' to join two simple sentences. </u>

As for other options:

  • A conjunction is wrong because it would connect the statements with 'and'
  • Conditional is wrong because it would connect the statements with 'if'
  • The converse is wrong because it would connect the statements with 'no'.
