Explanation for Question 31 From the Reading Section on the 2018 April Sat

Hey guys. So question 31 says in passage, 2 one Douglas characterized as bank's labor policy and Louisiana as blank. 3 So let's take a look back at passage one. We have a quick and 4 look at, uh, Doug says characterization of this. 5 He says, I hold a bank's policy is our chief danger at the present 6 moments, um, a law that it makes the emancipation proclamation 7 of 1863, a mockery and delusion, he's saying emancipation proclamation proclamation, 8 what freed the slaves is being made a mockery of by this, 9 um, present, uh, document, um, 10 excuse me, by this present policy of banks. 11 So we can go off of that and see that Douglas was characterizing his 12 labor policy as inconsistent with being supposed opposition to slavery. 13 He's not doing that. He doesn't really even say that banks as opposed to 14 slavery, he thinks banks is trying to really reinstate slavery. 15 Peace has contrary to the purpose of the government's abolition of slavery. 16 That's the directly what he's saying. He's saying he's making a mockery of the 17 emancipation proclamation, what went and freed the slaves and, 18 um, uh, you know, the abolition of slavery, 19 it's contrary to that exact purpose, but it's just going to reinsulate them C 20 says worsened in many respects in the slavery system that it replaced. 21 He's not saying he's worse. He's more like saying it's equivalent and this has 22 an improvement over slavery, but still far from my deal, 23 he's not talking about it as an improvement oversight is saying, 24 this is the same thing as slavery. You're just making a mockery of the 25 emancipation proclamation, which is supposed to free us. 26 You're just trying to put us back in chains. So that's what, 27 uh, answer to 31.
