In passage 3, James Rapier says, "[A]ny white ex-convict (I care not what may have been his crime..) may start with me today to Montgomery, that all the way down he will be treated as a
gentleman, while I will be treated as the convict" in order to illustrate:
A
That black people had committed crimes and should face poor treatment
because of it.
B
That white people should be entitled to better treatment on trains.
С
That black people in the South were treated worse than white criminals after the
Civil War.
D
That black people should not travel in the South because it was so dangerous.
