Why did the authors emphasize that they had been “declared” free? What dangers to their prospect of freedom did they observe?

Hi. Did you forget to say that this question is about "Southern blacks ask for help, 1865"

The authors emphasize that they were "declared" free to show that freedom was a condition and not a right. They note that this conditional freedom could be withdrawn when it was convenient and that it could prevent them from having the rights to citizenship, security and moridia when someone felt it was not necessary.

Explanation:

The article shows how southern blacks were in a delicate situation and that they questioned their freedom as American citizens. This is because the freedom that is a right of every citizen and that must be guaranteed, was given to them as a condition. They were "declared" free, which showed that their freedom depended on other people's goodwill. This left them submissive to other people who denied essential factors for their quality of life, such as the right to housing, defense, civil rights, among others.

the california missions began in the late 18th century as an effort to convert native americans to catholicism and expand european territory. there were 21 missions in all, lasting from 1769 until about 1833.   the missions were built by the spanish starting in 1769 in order to “colonize” the territory of alta california. so the missions were important because they were the means of settling california. it also wanted to keep other european countries out of alta california. building settlements along the coast would them meet these goals. missionaries wanted to convert the indians to the roman catholic faith. california indians did much of the work to build missions.
