新东方黄皮 exercise 2 段阅读，题号按照考题顺序~
By the time the American colonists took up arms against Great Britain in order to secure their independence, the institution of Black slavery was deeply entrenched.交代时代背景。时间：美国独立战争时。背景：black slavery was deeply entrenched。历史题材的文章。 But the contradiction文章论述的中心 inherent in this situation was, for many, a source of constant embarrassment. 指出此文论述的中心内容：contradiction。因此搞清楚contradiction的具体内容应该是后文阅读的重要任务。“It always appeared a most iniquitous scheme to me,” Abigail Adams wrote her husband in 1774, “to fight ourselves for what we are daily robbing and plundering from those who have as good a right to freedom as we have.” contradiction的具体内容出来了：fight for ourselves与plunder from those 的矛盾。很隐晦，说白了就是，白人在争取自己的自由的同时却限制黑人的自由。
第二段
Many Americans besides Abigail Adams were struck by the inconsistency =contradiction of their stand during the War of Independence, and they were not averse to making moves to emancipate the slaves.美国人对contradiction的态度 Quakers and other religious groups organized antislavery societies, while numerous individuals manumitted their slaves. In fact, within several years of the end of the War of Independence, most of the Eastern states had made provisions for the gradual emancipation of slaves.
第一句是二三句的原因。Quaker和individual的例子是用来证明in fact句的。
到处都是改写和重复， 说白了就是一句话，白人认识到这一矛盾都开始解放奴隶。
