Which quotation from "surrender speech" best expresses a major theme of this speech? "'he has fought for his countrymen, the squaws and papooses, against white men, who came, year after year, to cheat them and take away their lands.'" "'we set up the war-whoop, and dug up the tomahawk; our knives were ready, and the heart of black hawk swelled high in his bosom when he led his warriors to battle.'" "'we were becoming like them, hypocrites and liars, adulterers, lazy drones, all talkers, and no workers.'" "'i am much grieved, for i expected, if i did not defeat you, to hold out much longer, and give you more trouble before i surrendered.'" need answers

The quotation that sums up a major theme in Black Hawk's surrender speech is B. "'We set up the war-whoop, and dug up the tomahawk; our knives were ready, and the heart of Black Hawk swelled high in his bosom when he led his warriors to battle.'"

He is not sad of him because he has been captured, but he fears for his wife, his kids and his nation who are left alone to fight the white man, to endure their tortures. He, on the other hand, is set to death, and does not fear death because this is an easy fate compared to the one of those who has yet to live the white man oppression.

i think it may be b, i'm not exactly too sure on this. but b seems to make more sense.
