At this stage in the rebellion the Slaves had been wining and had the higher power between the two forces(abouteducation). The Roman Republic did not like this so they decided that the threat had became outrageous and had to be stopped. The slaves had gained so much power that crixus and spartacus talked about attacking Rome itself instead of just raiding its countrysides(historynet). This decision was not decided because the Roman army had been sent by the Roman Republic to destroy the slaves and what they had done. Spartacus lead his army to three victories before they finally fell to the Roman Republic, “6,000 of the slaves that had not died in battle were crucified for their actions”(historynet). The fact that these men had gave there life to fight for there freedom and to knock down this bully of a government was a great achievement. It is a great feat what they had done they “Knocked down goliath” and helped the world know that no matter what the conditions we can form together and fight for what is
