Name:

1. "Five score years ago, a great American in whose symbolic shadow we stand signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of captivity." Martin Luther King, Jr. Lincoln Memorial, Washington, D.C. August 28, 1963 This speech was given to

• help free the Negro slaves in the South
• promote himself in a campaign for president
• dedicate the newly constructed Lincoln Memorial
• the need to address injustices still to be righted during the Civil Rights Movement

2. "They tell us, sir, that we are weak; unable to cope with so formidable an adversary. But when shall we be stronger? Will it be the next week, or the next year? Will it be when we are totally disarmed, and when a British guard shall be stationed in every house? Shall we gather strength by irresolution and inaction? Shall we acquire the means of effectual resistance by lying supinely on our backs and hugging the delusive phantom of hope, until our enemies shall have bound us hand and foot? Sir, we are not weak if we make a proper use of those means which the God of nature hath placed in our power. The millions of people, armed in the holy cause of liberty, and in such a country as that which we possess, are invincible by any force which our enemy can send against us." Patrick Henry "Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death" speech March 23, 1775 The likely audience Patrick Henry's speech is intended for is

• british soldiers

3. "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. --That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed."

4. "They (the Aztecs) have a most horrid and abominable custom which truly ought to be punished... and that is, whenever they wish to ask something of the idols, in order that their plea may find more acceptance, they take many girls and boys and even adults, and in their presence of these idols they open their chests while they are still alive and take out their hearts and entrails and burn them before the idols... Some of us have seen this, and they say it is the most terrible and frightful thing they have ever witnessed." Hernan Cortes Letter to Charles V, 1520 The accuracy of this account could be questioned because

• it was written long after the Aztecs had become extinct
• it was written by someone who had never seen the Aztecs
• Charles V was conspiring with the Portuguese to take over Aztec Lands
• Cortes's bias against the people he is to conquer could influence this story

5. "Had the holding of slaves been a moral evil, it cannot be supposed, that the inspired Apostles... would have tolerated it, for a moment, in the Christian Church. If they had done so on a principle of accommodation, in cases where the masters remained heathen, to avoid offences and civil commotion; yet, surely, where both master and servant were Christian, as in the case before us, they would have enforced the law of Christ, and required, that the master should liberate his slaves in the first instance."
