Answer:

:The Haitian Revolution and the subsequent emancipation of Haiti as an independent state provoked mixed reactions in the United States. This led to uneasiness in the US, instilling fears of racial instability on its own soil and possible problems with foreign relations and trade between the two countries.

US president Thomas Jefferson realized the revolution had the potential to cause an upheaval against slavery in the US not only by slaves, but by white abolitionists as well. Southern slaveholders feared the revolt might spread from the island of Hispaniola to their own plantations. Against this background and with the declared primary goal of maintaining social order in Haiti, the US attempted to suppress the revolution, refusing acknowledgement of Haitian independence until 1862.

The US also embargoed trade with the nascent state. American merchants had conducted a substantial trade with the plantations on Hispaniola throughout the 18th century, the French-ruled territory providing nearly all of its sugar and coffee. However, once the Haitian slave population emancipated itself, the US was reluctant to continue trade for fear of upsetting the evicted French on one hand and its Southern slaveholders on the other.

Against this, there were anti-slavery advocates in northern cities who believed that consistency with the principles of the American Revolution — life, liberty and equality for all — demanded that the US support the Haitian people.

maksim [4K]

Answer:

C). Logical.

The chief aim of an author is to persuade or convince his audience to believe in the claims proposed by him/her. To persuade the audience, a number of appeals or 'modes of persuasion'(as Aristotle stated') like pathos(emotional appeal), ethos(ethical appeal), or logos('logical appeal').  

Mary Wollstonecraft's 'A Vindication of the Rights of Women' is one of the acknowledged feminist work that aims to highlight the position of women in the society and demanded equal educational, social, and moral rights for them.

As per the question, these lines '....when the short....respectable'(assumed) employs logical appeal to demand the women's rights logically by questioning the 'rationality' and asking them to reflect their rationality(in providing the rights to women) and become more 'masculine and respectable'. Thus, <u>option C</u> is the correct answer.
