To communicate America’s uniqueness in the world

Further Explanation:

Frederick Douglass was an African American social reformer writer and during his younger days, he escaped slavery and then after many years fighting for the slaves, he went on to become the leader of the abolitionist movement. He is known for a famous speech which he gave in Corinthian Hall in New York and he addressed his speech to People of the United States. In this speech he points out towards the slavery that was going on in the United States and the states that Slaves do not have the meaning of freedom and they will not celebrate 4th of July as America’s Independence Day as it means nothing to them because they do not have privilege to enjoy freedom, liberty, and citizenship. He wants to let the world know about America’s uniqueness that on one side its constitution talks about the freedom of the people but on the other hand, Slavery is still going on in America.  

He states that is the issue of slavery is very much prevalent in all the states of the United States and slavery is the source of wealth for these states and this is the reason that states are not taking any action against Slavery. But he also says that the Constitution of the United States says that every citizen of the United States is equal and should enjoy freedom but slavery as opposed to this very point given in the constitution because slaves do not enjoy freedom and liberty.

The other answer about americans uniqueness is wrong, I took the test. It's to reinforce his main argument that slavery opposed the ideals of America.

Explanation:

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.
