The tone of this book so far is less a feeling of wanting pity, and more of a tone of informing how they felt as a whole. He also didn't try to say that all white people are wrong or that all blacks are innocent. But he gave off more of a type of understanding for some of the things going on. He establishes this tone of struggle as well. He goes on to describe the feelings of many if not all negroes after slavery. But he does it in such a decent, classy, yet detailed way.
The details alone made this one chapter worth reading. Du Bois has this way of making you really feel and understand what they felt and didn't understand. But the cool thing is how he was so detailed, but without so much detail! For example when he says, "One ever feels his twoness,- an American, a Negro; two souls, two thoughts, two unreconciled strivings; two warring ideals in one dark body, whose dogged strength alone keeps it from being torn asunder." In this one statement alone he goes deep into it, yet leaving you to really think about what's being said. He seems to have such a way with words, which leads me to his use of logos.
Logos was used like crazy throughout the text. The main point was to basically inform the reader of the many things promised to blacks that were not followed through with nor talked about. In addition to this, he made sure to give supporting details after every main point.
