Answer:

In the second paragraph of the excerpt above, Harriet Beecher Stowe, the author of the novel, writes the entire paragraph as one sentence. This gives the paragraph importance. It draws attention to itself and she is telling us that the information is important. In the second paragraph, she writes "Then you shall be courteously entreated to call and examine, and shall find an abundance of husbands, wives, brothers, sisters, fathers, mothers, and young children, to be "sold separately, or in lots to suit the convenience of the purchaser;". " Instead of calling them "slaves", She calls them "husbands, wives, brothers, sisters, fathers, mothers, and young children," By doing so, she humanizes the enslaved people. She reminds the readers that this was happening to real people. By humanizing them, she makes she puts un in their shoes. She reminds us that if this atrocious act can be done to other people, it can also happen to us. By calling them "husbands, wives, brothers, sisters, fathers, mothers, and young children,", she is relating to the theme of slavery vs. family.

"Legal evil lives where the brood follows the dam." What do you think this riddle may mean?
grin007 [14]

Answer:

One owns the young offspring if he owns the mother.

Explanation:

The given line represents the doctrine which was created in ancient times. The sentence is, "Legal evil lives where the brood follows the dam."

Here, the word 'dam' means the mother while 'brood' means their off springs.

This doctrine determines the ownership of the animals and cattle such as bull, horses, etc.

It means that if anybody owns the mother that is the 'dam', he also owns the offspring, the 'broods'.

In the year 1842, the US Supreme court also extended this doctrine to humans saying that any slave born to slaves will also be a slave for life even if slavery is banned in that state.
