Answer:

4). Confinement or slavery.

3). a manifesto or declaration.

Explanation:

In the first case, the word "captivity" is used to describe the situation that the slaves were in before the Civil War. We know this because the speaker tells us this is what was the case before the Emancipation Proclamation. Therefore, the definition that best describes the lives of the slaves is "confinement or slavery." In the second case, the word "decree" is used to describe the proclamation itself, and the text states that this was considered a light of hope for the slaves. The proclamation most closely resembles a manifesto or declaration.

One common characteristic of all tyrants is that they always find a reason to continue ruling.

Tyrannies always blame foreign countries or parts of their own societies for their problems.
