Answer:

Inductive reasoning.

Step-by-step explanation:

In his speech titled "Beyond Vietnam" given on April 4, 1967, Martin Luther King Jr. gave his most dam ning speech which catapulted him to be a target for his enemies. He had already given speeches and expressed his opinions on political and other issues but this particular speech directly addressed his disapproval of the United States' act that put a target on his back.

In his speech, he talks about how the Vietnam War led both black and white men to unitedly fight and die even when there can be no such unity in their homes. He used inductive reasoning by alluding to the war to bring about his issue of how blacks were made to sacrifice their lives for the country they aren't even able to feel at home in.
