Answer:

Douglass's purpose in the speech "The Hypocrisy of American Slavery” (Given July 4, 1852) is to shame the American people specifically the people of Rochester, NY who have asked him- a former slave- to give a speech on a day of celebration of American freedom.

Douglass reveals his purpose to the reader through literary and persuasive techniques such as: rhetorical questions, ethos (ethics), pathos (pity), logos (logic), and anecdotes (stories).

“Fellow citizens, pardon me, and allow me to ask, why am I called upon to speak here today? What have I or those I represent to do with your national independence?”

“Fellow citizens, above your national, tumultuous joy, I hear the mournful wail of millions, whose chains, heavy and grievous yesterday, are today rendered more intolerable by the jubilant shouts that reach them.“

From about 1860–1895, the United States experienced the following broad changes: select all that apply
Dimas [21]
From 1860 to 1895, the United States experienced advances in technology, the industrial revolution and the Mexican-American war. 

It can't be the Spanish American war because that didn't happen until some years later. It can't be an agrarian revolution because this is during the INDUSTRIAL Revolution and education at the time wasn't prioritized as much as it is today.
