Question

we are prepared to punish those who propose to sell land to the united states. if you continue to purchase them, it will make war among the different tribes, and, at last i do not know what will be the consequences among the white people. brother, i wish you would take pity on us and do as i have requested. if you will not give up the land it will be very hard and produce great trouble between us. the way, the only way to stop this evil, is for the red people to unite in claiming a common and equal right in the land, as it was at first, and should be now: for it was never divided, but belongs to all. no tribe has the right to sell, even to each other, much less to strangers. sell a country? why not sell the air, the great sea, as well as the earth? did not the great spirit make them all for the use of his children? adapted from chief tecumseh, \address to general william henry harrison\ in the text in bold, what rhetorical strategy does chief tecumseh use? he provides concrete evidence. he invokes his religious authority. he asks rhetorical questions.

Explanation:

En el texto en negrita, Chief Tecumseh hace preguntas como "¿Vender un país? ¿Por qué no vender también el aire, el gran mar y la tierra? ¿No los hizo el Gran Espíritu para el uso de sus hijos?". Estas preguntas no buscan una respuesta real, sino que son retóricas para enfatizar su punto de vista sobre la venta de tierras. No presenta evidencia concreta ni invoca autoridad religiosa en este fragmento.

Answer:

He asks rhetorical questions.
