An argumentative essay in response to the prompt below.
The fight of the colonists to gain independence from
England is documented in the literature from this time period. Much of the writing is autobiographical and takes the form of speeches, narratives, and pamphlets. America’s promise of a new birth of freedom, however, exists side by side with the dehumanizing institution of slavery. Write an argumentative essay in which you express your take on the following prompt:
Unit I, Writing Freedom, includes Selections that capture the colonists’ voices for freedom, speeches that extol the nation’s founding ideals of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, and literary works that
describe the slave trade that contradicted the colonists’ fight for freedom.
intro
Body 1: Declaration”liberty, life, freedom. – appeals to authority. Innate freedom- people are free, and no one should deprive them of this gifted freedom (British dictatorship).
Body 2: “speech in the convention” “preamble to the constitution Bill of rights.”
Body 3: American freedom seems not inclusive, and only white Americans are concerned with it. (refer to Equiano)
For evidence and examples: please refer to these selections:
– “The Declaration of Independence.”
– “preamble to the constitution/Bill of rights.”
– “Speech in the Convention”
