Read this excerpt from Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave: After the valuation, then came the division. I have no language to express the high excitement and deep anxiety which were felt among us poor slaves during this time. Our fate for life was now to be decided. We had no more voice in that decision than the brutes among whom we were ranked. A single word from the white men was enough — against all our wishes, prayers, and entreaties — to sunder forever the dearest friends, dearest kindred, and strongest ties known to human beings.

Which TWO cruel realities regarding slavery does Douglass describe in this excerpt?

a. being temporarily divided by job
b. being treated like property
c. being kept in small living quarters
d. being separated from family

b). being treated like property

d). being separated from family

Explanation:

The two cruel realities associated with slavery that is being displayed in this excerpt would be 'the treatment of slaves like property' and 'their separation from their loved ones and family.' The objectification of slaves is reflected through descriptions like 'our fate...to be decided' and 'we had no more voice...we were ranked' while the isolation from their families is reflected through the detail 'single word of white men was enough to sunder forever the dearest friends, strongest ties.' Thus, options b and d are the correct answers.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
