Who is the main character in hector's great escape by bel mooney?​

Read the passages.

Passage 1: The Gettysburg Address, by Abraham Lincoln, November 19, 1863

Four score and seven years ago, our fathers brought forth upon this continent a new nation: conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war.

Passage 2: Robert E. Lee, letter to his son, January 23, 1861

As an American citizen I take great pride in my country, her prosperity, and her institutions, and would defend any State if her rights were invaded. But I can anticipate no greater calamity for the country than a dissolution of the Union. It would be an accumulation of all the evils we complain of, and I am willing to sacrifice everything but honor for its preservation. I hope, therefore, that all constitutional means will be exhausted before there is a resort to force. Secession is nothing but revolution. The framers of our Constitution never exhausted so much labor, wisdom, and forbearance in its formation, and surrounded it with so many guards and securities, if it was intended to be broken by every member of the Confederacy at will. It is intended for "perpetual union,” so expressed in the preamble, and for the establishment of a government, not a compact, which can only be dissolved by revolution or the consent of all the people in convention assembled.

Which statement best synthesizes ideas from the two texts?

Lincoln and Lee support the idea of the Union seceding.
Lincoln and Lee believe in the principles on which the nation was founded.
Lincoln and Lee believe in the necessity of revolution.
Lincoln and Lee focus attention on the importance of equality among men.

Read this excerpt from The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass.

A city slave is almost a freeman, compared with a slave on the plantation. . . . There is a vestige of decency, a sense of shame, that does much to curb and check those outbreaks of atrocious cruelty so commonly enacted upon the plantation. He is a desperate slaveholder, who will shock the humanity of his non-slaveholding neighbors with the cries of his lacerated slave. Few are willing to incur the odium attaching to the reputation of being a cruel master; and above all things, they would not be known as not giving a slave enough to eat.

What inference can be drawn about city slaveholders in this excerpt?

They require enslaved persons to perform all labor indoors.
They treat enslaved persons civilly to avoid their neighbors’ judgement.
They are as unkind as plantation slaveholders, but they are quieter.
They teach enslaved persons to read and become citizens of the city.
