问题     Abolitionist Frederick Douglass’ move to Rochester, New York, in 1847 was a major step in his finding his own intellectual path. Along with much of the rest of western New York, Rochester became fertile ground for an antislavery movement that dissented from that led by William Lloyd Garrison, with whom Douglass had previously been aligned. Unlike the Garrisonians, who believed the Union established by the United States Constitution must be dissolved in order to abolish slavery, many Rochester activists began to see both the Constitution and the political process as invaluable instruments for achieving that goal. During the 1840s and 1850s, many abolitionists had become frustrated by the failure of Garrison’ s method of moral persuasion. They turned instead to politics to fight slavery. [br] The author implies that Frederick Douglass’ relocation to Rochester was important because
选项 A、many Rochester activists doubted William Lloyd Garrison’s commitment to the abolitionist movement
B、Rochester was populated by abolitionists who believed in the efficacy of moral persuasion
C、the prevailing political climate there reinforced Douglass’ growing philosophical distance from Garrison
D、activists there recognized Douglass’ capacity to become a leader in the abolitionist cause
E、activists there were focused on how to amend the Constitution in order to advance abolitionist goals
答案 C
解析 根据文章，我们可以总结出以下论证：一开始道格拉斯是支持加里森的，后来道格拉斯搬到罗切斯特之后加入了罗切斯特，同时罗切斯特有政治氛围，所以罗切斯特的政治氛围使得道格拉斯背叛了加里森，选项C正确。
