Question 14 • WV-US Studies

Choose the answer that best summarizes Angelina Grimké’s point.

Answer
A
She believes that it is acceptable to hold slaves born into slavery.
B
Slavery is wrong whether the person was born into slavery or was purchased from Africa.
C
Enslaved people prefer to be held in bondage.

Explanation

Angelina Grimké argues that slavery is wrong in either case: a person’s having been born enslaved does not make it acceptable to keep that person in bondage, and purchasing someone from Africa is wrong as well. Choice B captures this point. Choice A excuses slavery for people born into it, and choice C falsely claims that enslaved people prefer bondage.
