Question

from thoughts and sentiments on the evil and wicked traffic of the slavery and commerce of the human species by quobna ottobah cugoano as you read, take notes on any conclusions you draw about cugoanos beliefs. highlight text evidence that helps you draw those conclusions. this question has two parts. first, answer part 1. then, answer part 2. part 1 which belief is implied but not directly stated? countries that participate in slavery are not free. true gentlemen oppose slavery. slavery is dishonorable. it takes significant effort to end slavery.

Explanation:

In the context of Cugoano's work criticizing the evil of slavery, the idea that "true gentlemen oppose slavery" is an implied belief. The other options: "Countries that participate in slavery are not free" may not be directly tied to the text's focus on Cugoano's beliefs about slavery's morality; "Slavery is dishonorable" might be more directly related to the stated "evil and wicked" description (so less implied); "It takes significant effort to end slavery" is not strongly implied from the given prompt's focus on beliefs about slavery's nature and moral stance of groups (like gentlemen) rather than the effort to end it. The focus on "true gentlemen" aligns with the moral judgment of slavery and the implication that those with moral integrity (gentlemen) would oppose it, which is not directly stated but inferred from the critique of slavery as evil.

Answer:

True gentlemen oppose slavery.
