The chief claim of the speech "What to the Slaves is the Fourth of July" by Frederick Douglass was that African Americans deserve equal treatment and status in the American society.

Explanation:

“What to the Slave is the Fourth of July“ was a speech by a former slave Frederick Douglass to the Anti-Slavery Society on the Fifth of July,1852, right after the Fourth of July celebration of the United States. In the speech, he addresses the issue of the celebration of July 4th by Americans as the day of freedom while his people (the blacks) were still under oppression. Referring to the American Constitutional values of liberty and equality to its citizens, he reiterated that the blacks were still denied these same rights. He demands for the government to confer equal status and treatment to the blacks with those of their fellow white citizens.

nothing certain is known about what happened, but it seems that the country declined gradually, perhaps due to bad government, or, more likely, due to a series of bad harvests, which resulted in widespread and recurrent famine.

in the 1800s, chinese workers migrated to the united states, first to work in the gold mines, but also to take agricultural jobs, and factory work, especially in the garment industry. chinese immigrants were particularly instrumental in building railroads in the american west, and as chinese laborers grew successful in the united states, a number of them became entrepreneurs in their own right. as the numbers of chinese laborers increased, so did the strength of anti-chinese sentiment among other workers in the american economy. this finally resulted in legislation that aimed to limit future immigration of chinese workers to the united states, and threatened to sour diplomatic relations between the united states and china.
