The viewpoint conveyed in the letter is that fundamental human rights must be extended to all people, as shown in the third answer option.

We can arrive at this answer because:

  • Benjamin Banneker was an abolitionist and he knew it would be difficult to solve the cause of slavery in the country.
  • For this reason, he began to invite influential men to join the cause, as he knew this would help in the quest for the abolition of slavery.
  • For this reason, he wrote a letter to Thomas Jefferson to explain to him how slavery was incorrect and to invite him to become an abolitionist.
  • In this letter, he shows that freedom is a right of all human beings and was given by God to all people, regardless of their color.
  • As such, enslaving black people was a sin against God and a contradiction in the freedom that was defended in America.

Therefore, we can say that he had the viewpoint that the American government should extend freedom to all people and that is why he was an abolitionist.
