Question 2 • English III

Which excerpt from "What the Black Man Wants" best summarizes the speech?

Answer

I do not know, from what has been said, that there is any difference of opinion as to the duty of abolitionists, at the present moment.

How can we get up any difference at this point, or at any point, where we are so united, so agreed?

I am for the “immediate, unconditional, and universal” enfranchisement of the black man, in every State in the Union.

Shall we at this moment justify the deprivation of the Negro of the right to vote, because some one else is deprived of that privilege?

Explanation

The speech’s central message is that Black men should have the right to vote immediately and without conditions. Choice C states this directly: “immediate, unconditional, and universal” enfranchisement in every state. The other excerpts discuss agreement among abolitionists or argue against denying voting rights, but C most clearly summarizes the speech’s main demand.
