“What, to the American slave, is your Fourth of July? I answer; a day that reveals to him, more than all other days in the year, the gross injustice and cruelty to which he is the constant victim. To him, your celebration is a sham; your boasted liberty, an unholy license; your national greatness, swelling vanity; your sounds of rejoicing are empty and heartless; your denunciation of tyrants, brass-fronted impudence; your shouts of liberty and equality, hollow mockery.” Evaluate the reasoning Douglass uses in the passage by determining whether the conclusion is valid or invalid.
The reasoning Douglass uses in the passage is Invalid because African Americans should not need to prove that they are people, but they are constantly forced to anyway.
