Explanation:

To determine the emotion Douglass evokes, analyze the quote: "battlefield... scene of brotherly kindness, charity and peace" implies a vision of future harmony. Option A (fear) is opposite. Option B (pride in military victory) focuses on victory, not the peaceful future. Option D (anger) is about injustice, not hope. Option C (hope for reconciliation and moral growth) matches the vision of a peaceful, reconciled future.
