Question

By perseverance and fortitude we have the prospect of a glorious issue; by cowardice and submission, the sad choice of a variety of evils--a ravaged country--a depopulated city--habitations without safety, and slavery without hope...
which persuasive appeal is the writer using in this passage? how do you know?

Answer 1

Answer:

"The sad choice of a variety of evils—a ravaged country—a depopulated city—habitations without safety, and slavery without hope—our homes turned into barracks and bawdy-houses for Hessians, and a future race to provide for, whose fathers we shall doubt of" is the best choice because he is laying out the facts of the matter.

If I'm wrong I'm really sorry!!
