Respuesta :

The question concerns the famous speech titled "What to the Slave is the Fourth of July" given by Frederick Douglas on July 5, 1852 at Rochester. The Fourth of July is celebrated as Independence Day in the United States which Douglas refers in his speech. The correct answer is the first option.

The citizens experiencing National, tumultuous joy, as Douglass describes it as:

Option C

  • The stocks have risen.

Frederick Douglass' discourse What to the Slave is the Fourth of July, examines the incongruity of praising the opportunity that slaves can't appreciate. He conveyed the discourse in 1853, about 10 years before the Emancipation Proclamation, to an abolitionist bondage society.

The gifts in which you this day celebrate, are not delighted in like manner. The rich legacy of equity, freedom, thriving, and autonomy, passed on by your dads, is shared by you, not by me. The daylight that hath carried life and mending to you, has carried stripes and passing to me.

Douglass needs his crowd to understand that they are not satisfying their declared convictions.

He discusses how they, being Americans, are pleased with their nation and their religion and how they celebrate for the sake of opportunity and freedom but then they don't offer those things to a huge number of their nation's occupants.
