The most accurate response regarding the differences in tone and point of view between Frederick Douglass's "What, To a Slave, is the Fourth of July?" and John F. Kennedy's inaugural speech is:
**Douglass uses a righteous tone to speak from the point of view of an enslaved person, while Lincoln (presumably you meant JFK) employs a neutral tone to speak about slavery from a detached perspective.**
This choice captures the essence of Douglass's impassioned and moral critique of the hypocrisy of American independence as it relates to enslaved individuals, contrasting with Kennedy's more balanced and generalized tone in his speech that calls for unity and progress without the same personal and historical context of slavery.
Please note, however, that JFK did not directly address slavery in his inaugural speech; he spoke more broadly about freedom, service, and the responsibilities of citizenship. So in this context, it seems there's a slight misalignment as JFK's speech is not primarily focused on the issue of slavery. If looking for a comparison of tone and perspective strictly within context, one should focus solely on Douglass.
