The conclusion I can draw about attitudes toward African Americans from this excerpt is that "People believe that African Americans were not equal to White people."
- This is evident in the fact that following the Declaration of Independence and the subsequent win of the Americans against the British, the African Americans did not have equal status with their white counterparts until many years after.
- The African Americans only gained freedom officially after the American Civil was fought.
- Also, prominent and founding fathers of America after the declaration of Independence was made had many African American slaves such as Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, etc.
Hence, in this case, the correct answer is option C "People believe that African Americans were not equal to White people."
