    Case Study: The Peculiar Institution

    “Simultaneously, the slave population burgeoned, roughly doubling every thirty years” (180). Between the year 1790 and 1850 the slave population grew from 700,000 to 3.2 million. Although importation of slaves from Africa was banned in 1808, they still gained more and more slaves from reproduction. While they began to use machines in the North, in the Southern states, they continued to use slaves on plantations to plant crops. The Southerners believed it was okay to own slaves and abuse them, which was a peculiarity to others. Slaves did not agree with this system because they did not have the same rights as the whites. Slaves relied too heavily on their…

    Anth 146 exam notes

    The Pueblo peoples of the desert Southwest were quite unlike any of the cultures that we have discussed thus far in the course. Because of their entirely sedentary farming lifestyle and permanent housing, 19th century thinkers considered Pueblo Indians to be higher on a social evolution scale than other Native Americans. In other words, Puebloan groups were considered superior to other tribes around them because their behavior and living practices appeared to more closely resemble those of white society. For this reason, a considerable amount of energy was put into documenting life among Puebloan groups, and we have some fairly good ethnographic documents to work with.…

    Slavery in the Upper And Lower South

    Black slavery in the South created a bond among white Southerners and cast them in a common mold. Slavery was also the source of the South 's large agricultural wealth, which led to white people controlling a large black minority. Slavery also caused white Southerners to realize what might happen to them should they not protect their own personal liberties, which ironically included the liberty to enslave African Americans. Because slavery was so embedded in Southern life and customs, white leadership reacted to attacks on slavery after 1830 with an ever more defiant defense of the institution, which reinforced a growing sense among white Southerners that their values eventually divided them from their fellow citizens in the Union. The South of 1860 was uniformly committed to a single cash crop, cotton. During its reign, however, regional differences emerged between the Lower South, where the linkage between cotton and slavery as strong, and the Upper South, where slavery was relatively less important and the economy more diversified. Plantations were the leading economic institution in the Lower South. Planters were the most prestigious social group, and, though less than five percent of white families were in the planter class; they controlled more than forty percent of the slaves, cotton, and total agricultural wealth. Most had inherited or married into their wealth, but they could stay at the top of the South 's class structure only by continuing to profit from slave labor. Planters had the best land. The ownership of twenty or more slaves enabled planters to use a gang system to do both routine and specialized agricultural work, and also permitted a regimented pace of work that would have been impossible to impose in free agricultural workers. Teams of field hands were supervised by white overseers and black drivers, slaves selected for their management skills and agricultural knowledge.…

    The Role Of Slavery In The Civil War

    Slavery was a commonly debated issue during the early 1800’s. The issue of slavery caused individuals to question if slavery was against the Constitution. Slavery slowly was dying out in America, most prominently in the North, but when Eli Whitney invented the cotton gin, the hope of slavery dying out in the South ended. Slaves were now a very important part of Southern economy, because unlike the industrialized North, the main source of income for the South was cotton farmed by thousands of slaves on plantations.…

    The Jacksonian Period of common man.

    When Jackson came to power, the nation had been drastically changed by the Industrial Revolution. The simple, pastoral, agricultural lifestyle was being replaced by the manufacturing world, of cities and factories. On the other hand national bank became a major problem in nation's economy .Nicholas Biddle proved great opposition to President Jackson. He wanted to re-charter the National Bank; however, many people were against Biddle's decision. This was particularly true of people in the west. They were still wary of a national bank, after the Panic of 1819, which involved mishaps in land speculation. Jackson shared the predominately western opinion that several small banks would be a better service to the nation than one, large bank would. A major problem with a national bank would lie in its willingness only to make loans to the wealthy. This would be of no use to the middleclass. Jackson would not allow Biddle to gain any more power than he already had.…

    Causes Of American Civil War

    By 1820 both Britain and the U.S. had declared the slave trade illegal and slavery was ended in virtually all the Northern U.S. states. As the North's industrial development outstripped that of the South, the differences between Southern and Northern society became increasingly entrenched. The South was developing its system of slavery based on plantation agriculture, with capital increasingly being invested in slaves. Slaves were the principal form of wealth in the South - the market…
