1.Why did Frederick Douglass consider July 4th a day of mourning rather than rejoicing?

Douglass delivered a speech at a ceremony to commemorate the signing of the Declaration of Independence, held at Rochester's Corinthian Hall. It was a play on words, when the speaker told the audience, "This July 4th is yours, not mine."

Hope it helps!

the reason the welfare system causes so much of a burden on its recipients is because the welfare system does not give its recipients any real tools to actually get out of poverty. the welfare system has embedded poverty deeper into society and has made it harder and harder for people to escape poverty.

in other words, it stoped the poor, and now its making it worse.

hope this . : )      

and im sorry it took so long for your question to get answered

the answer is true!
