Base your answer to question 13 on the statement
below and on your knowledge of social studies.
… The whole military force of the State is at the
service of a Mr. Suttle, a slaveholder from Virginia,
to enable him to catch a man whom he calls his
property; but not a soldier is offered to save a
citizen of Massachusetts from being kidnapped! Is
this what all these soldiers, all this training, have
been for these seventy-nine years past [since the
beginning of the American Revolution]? Have
they been trained merely to rob Mexico and carry
back fugitive slaves to their masters?…
— Henry David Thoreau, Independence Day speech at
