Which of the following best explains Douglass point of view in the excerpt quizlet?

"How many times have you heard the story that we cleaned up Pittsburgh years ago? Do you know that Pittsburgh air is far more dangerous to breathe now[?]... The danger is the gas you do not see—the sulfur dioxide that our environmental scientists tell us is increasing."

Public service announcement script, Group Against Smog and Pollution (GASP), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, 1970

"Mothers are all alike. They spend most of the day washing clothes, washing dishes, washing diapers, dusting and cleaning and scrubbing. A clean house means a clean family. But what about the air? Is someone else out there scrubbing and cleaning the air? Don't hold your breath! FIGHT FOR IT. Attend the public meeting."

"There remains, then, only one mode of using great fortunes; but in this we have the true antidote for the temporary unequal distribution of wealth, the reconciliation of the rich and the poor—a reign of harmony.... Under its sway we shall have an ideal state, in which the surplus wealth of the few will become, in the best sense, the property of the many, because administered for the common good, and this wealth, passing through the hands of the few, can be made a much more potent force for the elevation of our race than if it had been distributed in small sums to the people themselves. Even the poorest can be made to see this, and to agree that great sums gathered by some of their fellow-citizens and spent for public purposes, from which the masses reap the principal benefit, are more valuable to them than if scattered among them through the course of many years in trifling amounts."

Andrew Carnegie, "Wealth," 1889

"The Negro race, like all races, is going to be saved by its exceptional men. The problem of education, then, among Negroes must first of all deal with the Talented Tenth; it is the problem of developing the Best of this race that they may guide the Mass away from the contamination and death of the Worst, in their own and other races. Now the training of men is a difficult and intricate task. Its technique is a matter for educational experts, but its object is for the vision of seers. If we make money the object of man-training, we shall develop money-makers but not necessarily men; if we make technical skill the object of education, we may possess artisans but not, in nature, men. Men we shall have only as we make manhood the object of the work of the schools—intelligence, broad sympathy, knowledge of the world that was and is, and of the relation of men to it."

W. E. B. Du Bois, "The Talented Tenth," 1903

The perspective expressed in the excerpt most directly supported the national expansion of

"When [Robert E.] Lee surrendered . . . the South became, and has since been, loyal to this Union. We fought hard enough to know that we were whipped, and in perfect frankness accept as final the [arbitration] of the sword to which we had appealed. . . .

"The old South rested everything on slavery and agriculture, unconscious that these could neither give nor maintain healthy growth. The new South presents a perfect democracy, the oligarchs leading in the popular movement—a social system compact and closely knitted, less splendid on the surface, but stronger at the core—a hundred farms for every plantation, fifty homes for every palace—and a diversified industry that meets the complex need of this complex age.

"The new South is enamored of her new work. Her soul is stirred with the breath of a new life. The light of a grander day is falling fair on her face. She is thrilling with the consciousness of growing power and prosperity. As she stands upright, full-statured and equal among the people of the earth, breathing the keen air and looking out upon the expanded horizon, she understands that her emancipation came because through the inscrutable wisdom of God her honest purpose was crossed, and her brave armies were beaten."

Henry W. Grady, Georgia newspaper editor and Democratic political activist, speech in New York City, 1886
