Answer:
The sentence type used in the text given below is <u>Compound sentence</u>.
Explanation:
Compound sentences are those in which two clauses are joint with the help of coordinating conjunctions e.g (and, but, so, nor, for, or, yet etc.)
In compound sentences clauses may joint with the help of coordinate conjunctions, commas or semicolon. In the given text two clause are joint with coordinate conjunction that is "and". A clause is a part of sentence with a subject and a verb making a complete sense. Hence the given sentence is compound sentence because more than one subject is used giving complete sense and then joint by a conjunction.
It is this line: "<span>Fellow-citizens, above your national, tumultuous joy, I hear the mournful wail of millions! whose chains, heavy and grievous yesterday, are, to-day, rendered more intolerable by the jubilee shouts that reach them."
Douglass admits that the Independence Day is an important date when a great thing happened for all Americans. But he thinks it is inappropriate to celebrate a nationwide holiday when there are millions of members of this nation who are not free and able to celebrate. This festivity makes those people feel even worse.</span>
