Answer:
B) appeal to the conscience against slavery
Step-by-step explanation:
The image in question (in the attachment) is the work of Josiah Wedgwood from 1787.
The words on the image say “Am I Not a Man and a Brother?” and we can see the kneeling black person in chains who is obviously begging.
The context is that the man is begging for freedom and mercy, to be locked out of the chains. He does not pose any threat, he is simply a man asking for liberty.
The text calls for empathy of the observer- a person is called to identify with a man on the picture, to imagine his own brother or himself in the same situation.
The reason for this is to paint slaves as people just like any other and to raise the conscience about the inhuman condition of slavery. It wants to show that no one wants to be enslaved, how terrible the position is, and how slaves are calm, family people just wanting the rights as anyone else.
