If Slavery were Considered Moral :: Slavery

Describe the differences of this time period if slavery was considered right.ISSUES TO UNDERSTAND CH. 141)The Compromise of 1850 was a dispute on whether or not Mexico (gained by US) would become a slave or drop state. The northerners didnt want the 3630 line to be moved to the Pacific and the southerners didnt want free soilism which would make Mexico a free state. Northerners gained from the Compromise California as a free state, New Mexico and Utah as likely future slave states, a favorable settlement of the New Mexico-Texas boundary, and the abolition of the slave trade in the District of Colombia. Southerners gained the burial of the Wilmot Provisos persistence of new territories being free states, but the rig of the free-soilers remained viable, for the compromise left open the question of whether Congress could prohibit slavery in territories outside the Mexican cession. How did the Compromise of 180 affect Southerners?2)The momentary hard worker Act affected the relations hip between the devil sides because often when a slave would leave and escape to the North, northerners wouldnt do anything to help get the slave back, in fact, in most incidents northerners tried to help keep slaves away from southerners if they escaped. South began to realize that opposition to slavery in the North was a threat to what they believed.-What was the Fugitive Slave Act and how did it hurt Southerners?3)Uncle Toms Cabin made many people convert to the belief that slavery was wrong and evil. It caused many people to view southerners as evil people. It also made northerners have sympathy for black slaves.-How did this book affect peoples view of slavery?4)The second party dodging collapsed because Whigs began to split into two groups the American (know-nothing) Party and the Republican Party. Whigs also began to fall apart because of immigration. They thought immigration would not be important because they wouldnt be a big rich force for voting. So when the Whigs trie d to get immigrant votes it just backfired and caused them to lose some ground with Protestant Whigs because the party had a hard anti-immigrant stand. What was the second party system?5)The Nebraska-Kansas Act made many people angry because they thought that it was another territory that would be a slave state and not free. The idea of do it a state was to benefit Northerners because they were going to put a railroad system going through the Midwest to the pacific.
