Now let’s break into groups and work with John Tyler Morgan’s “The Race Question in the United States”:
- Claim– Morgan thinks African Americans are not to the whites level and shouldn’t be voting. And if they start getting more privileges there will be a downfall. He feels whites are superior and they get the rights and choices to things, more like white men.
- Reasons– He says if you interbreed with people of color you will have inferior off springs.
- Evidence– He tried to say that African Americans have so many things were they shouldn’t get the right to vote. He says why do things need to change, keep them the way they are.
- Warrant– Overall, Morgan feels that letting blacks get the same rights as whites will mess up society and cause a lot of different issues.
- Counterargument– ?
- Rebuttal– He is in fear and panic of things changing for him, so he is trying to convince his readers to not let things change and to do what he thinks is right. He wants us to feel this fear as well so we agree with him and make sure we follow what he says not to do.

After reading “Striving of the Negro People”, by W. E. B. DU BOIS I felt that it connected most with pathos because it brings out emotion and they effect the reader in a way were it makes it feel this way. Also, I feel it shows ethos in a way of having a good tone to the story.
