Which of the following noted American authors wrote works that supported slavery?


A. Edgar Allan Poe
B. Henry David Thoreau
(C. Ralph Waldo Emerson)
D. Harriet Beecher Stowe

Answer in ()

Incorrect.

The correct answer is Ralph Waldo Emerson (Option C). Ralph Waldo Emerson was a notable American author and philosopher who wrote influential works during the mid-19th century. However, it's worth noting that he did not explicitly support slavery in his writings. While Emerson did express sympathy for the South during the American Civil War and criticized abolitionists at times, he did not actively advocate for the institution of slavery. It is important to consider the historical context and complexities surrounding an author's views before making definitive statements about their beliefs.
