Select the correct answer. Read this excerpt from Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl by Harriet Ann Jacobs:
O, ye happy women, whose purity has been sheltered from childhood, who have been free to choose the objects of your affection, whose
homes are protected by law, do not judge the poor desolate slave girl too severely! If slavery had been abolished, I also, could have married
the man of my choice; I could have had a home shielded by the laws, and I should have been spared the painful task of confessing what!
am now about to relate; but all my prospects had been blighted by slavery. I wanted to keep myself pure; and, under the most adverse
circumstances, I tried hard to preserve my self-respect; but I was struggling alone in the powerful grasp of the demon Slavery, and the
monster proved too strong for me.
