How does president wilson build his argument and persuade his listeners in "war message to congress"? a. he uses positive words to describe the enemy. b. he cites published works to support his view. c. he uses confident and powerful words. d. he tells a personal story that relates to the topic.

The correct option is C.

President Wilson uses confident and powerful words to build his argument and persuade his listeners.  He uses words and phrases such as: loyalty, rights, spoken from our heart, etc. The following sentence serves as a good example:

"Just because we fight without rancour and without selfish object, seeking nothing for ourselves but what we shall wish to share with all free peoples, we shall, I feel confident, conduct our operations as belligerents without passion and ourselves observe with proud punctilio the principles of right and of fair play we profess to be fighting for."

C) He uses confident and powerful words

        its hard for some people to get along and that’s the case for douglass and canot. most of the time when people do not agree with each other its because they have different presperctives, and that is the case here.

captain canot was never a slave so but he was a slaver and a slave ship captain and just like the slave master's he tought it was it was totally normal, he used captain conot is a cruel man who enjoys whipping slaves but never   got whipped he saw it has a destiny for the slave to be a slave and the slaver to be a slaver   but douglass has suffered whoppings cut   even for no reason sometimes. douglass believed that slavery was not natural to black people, they need to study and learn how to read and write. he knew they have rights.

it was really not the captain’s fault he was just brainwashed by the system and when your brainwashed by the system its hard not to be brainwashed. but the reason douglass wants this is because he has suffered he knows how it feels and will do anything to stop that.

the objective should be switched
