Very epic cool person if help very,

Read the excerpt from "We Are All Bound Up Together” by Frances Ellen Watkins Harper.

In advocating the cause of the colored man, since the Dred Scott decision, I have sometimes said I thought the nation had touched bottom. But let me tell you there is a depth of infamy lower than that. It is when the nation, standing upon the threshold of a great peril, reached out its hands to a feebler race, and asked that race to help it, and when the peril was over, said, You are good enough for soldiers, but not good enough for citizens.

What is emphasized by Harper’s word choice and syntax in the underlined portion of this excerpt?

the danger faced by Black soldiers
the bravery of the Black soldiers
the unfairness of the way Black Americans are treated
the anger of Black Americans after they return from war

Answer:

I thibk the answer is C

Step-by-step explanation:

If the underlined part was this "You are good enough for soldiers, but not good enough for citizens. " I think the answer is The unfairness of the way black americans are treated because Its not fair that they were used for something and then they were not good enough anymore after they helped
