All right, and now, the question:
- 00:18
Based on the argument in the excerpt, many abolitionists
- 00:21
would have been likely to support... what?
- 00:23
And here are your potential answers.
- 00:25
[ mumbles ]
- 00:28
All right. The idea that "taxation
- 00:30
and representation should be inseparable"
- 00:34
played a large role in America's foundation, and abolitionists
- 00:36
fought hard and long to ensure that same right was
- 00:39
extended to African Americans.
- 00:41
So let's see what other causes these freedom fighters would've
- 00:44
loved to celebrate.
- 00:45
Based on the argument in the excerpt, would abolitionists have
- 00:48
been likely to support A - the Louisiana Purchase?
- 00:51
Hmm. Well, the excerpt doesn't really have anything
- 00:54
to do with the Louisiana Purchase.
- 00:56
Same goes for the upper class cult of domesticity,
- 00:59
which was a focus on the value of female work at home
- 01:02
with her family. That gets rid of A and D. Cross them out.
- 01:05
Would abolitionists have supported C - the movement
- 01:08
for African-Americans returning to Africa?
- 01:11
Well, some abolitionists did support sending African Americans
- 01:13
back to Africa, but it wasn't exactly a strict
- 01:16
feature of the movement. So get rid of C.
- 01:18
Which means many abolitionists would have been likely to support
- 01:21
B - the women's suffrage movement.
- 01:23
Abolitionists who supported full citizenship for African Americans
- 01:26
would have likely supported the same for women,
- 01:29
since they, too, were members of society who had a right to
- 01:32
participate in government. So B is the right answer.
- 01:36
The abolitionist movement really planted the seeds
- 01:38
for universal suffrage
- 01:39
and with a little bit of water and 80 years of hard work,
- 01:42
rights for women finally started to blossom.
