Secondly, who wrote each document. The first document is written by a white official who show's clear racial bias, that was common for free whites in that time. He says things such as, “The Carolina Planters... did not torture one Negroe, but only put them to an easy death.” (2). He is clearly lessening the importance of the death of the slaves, and making the Carolina Planters out to be heroes for stopping these slaves. In contrast, the second document is written by the great-great-grandson of one of the supposed leaders of the rebellion. This means that they are much less likely to discriminate the slaves due to their race of position like a free white in that time would be. One similarity is that both people are far enough removed from the situation, which helps with the reliability of each document.…

A look at chapters V, VI, and VII of Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl revolves around a teenage slave girl and the control placed over her by her slave owner. The passage goes to reflect the atrocities placed over many slaves of the south in that time. It goes to show that these poor individuals had no power over the system in place over them and that they had to submit to the rule of those masters above them regardless of how heinous the act was. These acts were not unique to just her but was known to happen to many slave girls throughout the south. Slaveries affect on the south was made very apparent in the early to mid 1800's. Slaves made up 1/3 of the southern populations and was making its way further west into eastern Texas. At the…
Abolitionism became increasingly popular during the Second Great Awakening, as northerners began to reject the injustices committed against southern slaves. Newspapers such as The Liberator and special interest groups such as the American Colonization Society and the American Anti-Slavery Society began to flourish under the new religious climate of equality and moral righteousness. William Lloyd Garrison and Harriet Beecher Stowe published especially influential abolitionist literature and rejected the less-radical and less-just idea of gradualism. Northern preachers took up the call, and began condemning slavery from the pulpit. Southern preachers had a very different interpretation on this issue, but their voices were quickly drowned out in the North.…
Most Northerners didn’t hate slavery enough to do anything about it. Sadly, it was an ugly part of American culture and people were content ignoring it so they could go about their lives. They didn’t agree with slavery but they feared that if the slaves were freed they would move north and take jobs away from white families. White people in the North were expanding westward into the territories where they could farm their own land and make money off crops. They did not want the territories to have the southern slave based labor system because it would only benefit a few wealthy people and it would greatly harm the country’s economy to expand slavery.…
Slave Country, is a book on early America and it tells the story of the rapid growth of slavery in the newly formed states. Slavery slowly disappeared from the northern states and the importation of captive Africans was prohibited. But, at the same time, the country's slave population grew, new plantation crops appeared, and several new slave states joined the Union. Adam Rothman explores how slavery grew a staggering amount in a new nation formed by the principle of equality among free men, and tells the consequences of U.S. expansion into the region that became the Deep South. Rothman delves into the ideas of capitalism and nationalism that began a huge forced migration of slaves into Louisiana, Alabama, and Mississippi. He tells the story of the relationships held among the European, African, and indigenous peoples who inhabited the Deep South during the Jeffersonian era, and who turned the region into a slave system. Rothman writes of the violence that jeopardized Jefferson’s vision of republican expansion across the American continent.…
In 1852, Harriet wrote a book to prove the evils of slavery and the Fugitive Slave Law was biased, this was only helping the South not the North (Packet Document 4). At the same time, the South had something to say about this. Southerners accused that this book is inaccurate information (Textbook). Southerners say that the book doesn’t explain what really explain what truly happens in the South (Textbook). This book offends the southerners because the book doesn't talk about the real lives of the slaves. Unfortunately, this causes the north to believe Harriet and have another reason to visualize why slavery is…
The North and the South had very different views on slavery which only grew stronger and separated the two regions leading up to the Civil War. As the Union gained more land the big question was whether the new land would be considered a slave state or a free state. The South needed slaves to do hard labor on their land to keep the economy growing. The North did not have a need for slaves. They feared that allowing slavery in the North would increase large plantations in the area which would threaten their own growing industrial economy. An underlying issue with the South was the fear that the federal government would take control over the individual states and their rights, especially concerning slavery.…
The people who were pro-slavery called it inaccurate and said that Stowe made up false illusions of slavery in the South. Stowe soon shut down these people by publishing an annotated bibliography titled The Key To Uncle Tom’s Cabin. These southerners would protest the book, and wrote their own books depicting the happy lives of slaves. They sent Stowe threats and banned the novel.(PBS.org)…
One major social cause that led to the Civil was slavery. The North wanted to abolish slavery, but the South opposed to abolishing slavery. The North did not need slaves because there economy is made up of factories, and manufactured products. The South depended on slaves to work on plantations. During the Civil war, slave owners treated their slaves like property. The slaves were treated like property because slave owners brought them from slave auctions. Slaves were considered not citizens. Many abolitionists and former slaves gave speeches and wrote books to go against slavery. They told stories to people in the North and in Europe. Some of the most famous abolitionist was Frederick Douglass, Solomon Northup’s, and Harriet Beecher Stowe. Harriet Beecher Stowe was a white woman that wrote an anti-slavery message that came in the form of a novel. It was called the Uncle Tom’s Cabin. (Document 7) The books and lecturers purpose was to help abolish slavery because it gave an understanding of how slavery was like.…
To start off, slavery had begun to die off after the American Revolution. According to Document 5, slavery got abolished almost immediately in some of the Northern states. Although some may argue that it took a lot longer for the states in the south to get rid of slavery, the revolution still made them begin to think about it. Without the revolution, the north probably wouldn’t have…
“The enslavement of an estimated 10 million Africans over a period of almost 4 centuries in the Atlantic slave trade was a tragedy of such scope that it is difficult to imagine much less comprehend” (Black Christianity before the Civil War,1999). In the 1800’s that were almost 15 states, that slavery was legal in before the Civil War started. The actual slave population came from Africa, which they called the transatlantic slave trade, which ended in about 1809. After the slave trade that ended it was the beginning of the American-born black population. Slavery was a very big part of the society in the South and was continually growing in 1800’s. Whites in the South called slavery unavoidable evil to maintain their living standards (Henretta, Brody & Dumenil, 2002). There were some whites who opposed to slavery and every opportunity they had tried to change it.…

In the 1800’s there was much turmoil over the debate of slavery and whether it was inhumane or not. Slavery caused the nation to separate into 2 factions; the north, who believe in abolishing slavery and the south who thought that slavery was a “benign institution” as quoted by Ulrich B. Phillips. There is much debate whether slavery was the prominent cause of the Civil War. Contrary to popular belief, slavery was not the ultimate cause of the Civil War; in fact the economic, cultural, and political differences between the North and South played more prominent roles in the instigation of the Civil War and influenced the beginnings of slavery.…
Many people, especially those in the south, believed that slavery should continue. Slave owners in the south were all for slavery continuing because it was much cheaper than having to hire laborers to harvest their crops and fields. Many people in the north were supporters of slavery too, because they faced major profits in…
