Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

My country 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing.

Land where my fathers died, land of the Pilgrim's pride,

From every mountainside, let freedom ring!"

Finally, King appeals to his audience's sense of nationalism, calling upon them to achieve the founding ideals of the nation: liberty and freedom
