What type of figurative language is Douglass using when he calls all of America's prayers, hymns, sermons, thanksgivings, religious
parade, and solemnity 'a thin veil to cover up crimes which would disgrace a nation of savages."?
Answer: D) He is using a metaphor to show how these outward shows can easily be seen through (like a veil) and cannot truly cover up the obvious sin of slavery.
