Slavery during 1776 to 1877
Slavery used to be claimed as a big issue. There were a lot of unfair laws made toward the slaves. They could not ever do anything but work. People were always so rude to them no matter what. Slavery had the biggest impact on American History from 1776 to 1877. First I would like to talk about why I support that slavery had a big impact on history. Slaves did so much for southerners but the southerners never did anything for the slaves. The slaves would always take care of the southerners houses, plantations, and sometimes did there errands. Harriet Tubman was a brave woman. She was born into slavery and escaped. Harriet risked her life by going back and saving her family and going back many other times to help others escape. She was the “conductor” of the Underground Railroad. The Underground Railroad was a system of underground tunnels that helped slaves escape from the horrible beatings and rudeness from there so called “owners”. The Emancipation Proclamation was a document signed by Abraham Lincoln. The Emancipation Proclamation was made to free slaves in 1863. Many people believe that the three amendments that were made in the Civil War are the most significant change in American history because that was what changed the whole way the people were ran/controlled. The 13th amendment freed slaves (kind of like the emancipation proclamation). The 14th amendment made anybody born in the U.S. a citizen. The 15th amendment stated that “all men are equal” which meant that all men could vote. Therefore, this is not the most important change because slavery is, but it is still is important though but didn’t make as big of an impact. Slavery is a more significant change to American society than the 3 Civil War amendments because it showed people how slaves were just like the people themselves. It taught some people to be fair. It changed the way things were ran/ controlled, and changed the way
