Read this excerpt from "The Hypocrisy of American Slavery" by Frederick Douglass, a former slave and a leader of the abolitionis

t movement.
Whom does the speaker address in this speech?
What to the American slave is your Fourth of July? I answer, a day that reveals to him more than all other days of the year, the gross Injustice
and cruelty to which he is the constant victim. To him your celebration is a sham; your boasted liberty an unholy license; your national
greatness, swelling vanity: your sounds of rejoicing are empty and heartless; your shouts of liberty and equality, hollow mock; your prayers
and hymns, your sermons and thanksgivings, with all your religious parade and solemnity, are to hlm mere bombast, fraud, deception,
Implety, and hypocrisy --a thin vell to cover up crimes which would disgrace a nation of savages. There is not a nation of the earth guilty of
practices more shocking and bloody than are the people of these United States at this very hour.
Go search where you will, roam through all the monarchies and despotisms of the Old World, travel through South America, search out
every abuse and when you have found the last, lay your facts by the side of the everyday practices of this nation, and you will say with me
that, for revolting barbarity and shameless hypocrisy, America reigns without a rival.
A.
all residents of the United States
all the nations of the world
Ос.
the white population of the United States
OD.
African Americans still under slavery
ОЕ
leaders of the Southern states
