Answer 1

it should be C. the effects of slavery are so ingrained in american society that achieving equality for all will take patience 

Answer 2

The correct answer is D) Slavery has lasting and extensive effects on every aspect of American society.

Washington and W. E. B. Du Bois agree on "Slavery has lasting and extensive effects on every aspect of American society."

Washington and W.E.B. Dubois were two important and influential African American civil right supporters that had many differences in approaching the problem of slavery and the best ways to fight against it. But one thing they agreed on, was that slavery had lasting and extensive effects on every aspect of American society. They both considered that slavery had done so much damage to the country and still was ingrain in many aspects of society that it had to be stopped. The problem with them was that they had so many differences in their approaches.
