Summary: The Short Life Of Free Georgia

Secondly the south wanted to leave the union because Uncle Tom’s Cabin was published. In document 4 it states “She wrote this book to show that slavery was evil and that the Fugitive Slave Law was unjust. This would convince or show how evil and wrong slavery is and more people would want to abolish slavery. If they didn’t secede they would lose slavery. So to stop people in the South to be convinced that slavery is wrong the South left the union.

During the late 1800s, because the South had been decimated by the end of the Civil War, .the Reconstruction Period was initiated to aid the South’s recovery. Although the Civil War did abolish slavery and unify the North and the South, the war not resolve racial prejudice, the South’s damage, and the African Americans’ economic instability. The Reconstruction Period was initiated in order to prevent economic instability and the structural ruin, because since slavery was abolished, and the South was completely dependent on slaves, therefore slaves could not work for the South to maintain the economy, and slaves also could not fix up the damages done to the structures done to the South during the war. By starting the Freedmen’s Bureau and passing

Mr. Auld claimed teaching slaves to read was unlawful and not safe, if you give a slave a little they will take the whole lot. He also mentioned that slaves who could read weren't slaves anymore. I found a particular sentence from Mr. Auld interesting "It would make him discontented and unhappy" (Douglass,250). That sentence alone shows the lies that were spread in order to justify the nature of slavery. I have read a lot of work on slavery thanks to my mother, during my reading I learned about how slaveholders would comment on how their slaves are happy on the plantation.

Free states got an advantage as well when it was enforced that slaves would also be counted as three-fifths of a person for tax purposes. This has infamously become known as the 3/5 compromise. However, the issue of slavery was never solved in the Great Compromise. Free states knew that the Southern states wouldn’t accept the Constitution if it took away their rights to own slaves. Because of this, the only ruling in the Constitution that dealt with slavery was the Fugitive Clause which enforced Free states to help recapture runaway slaves who had escaped their masters' states.

When the Missouri Compromise happened, officials debated about letting in Missouri because it would tip the balance of power. As a compromise, Maine was also admitted. This agreement also established the 36°30 line that allowed no slave states above it. This angered the south because it stopped them from spreading their political views to the rest of the states. Citizens who volunteered for the Confederate army put themselves through unimaginable horrors to protect things very important to them.

Garrison founded a couple organizations to expand the movement, but his efforts were futile. Southern congressmen issued what was called “the gag rule”, which prohibited discussion of abolitionist petitions. Thankfully, most of the nation resented the gag rule, as they recognized that it threatened free speech. It wasn’t until 1840 that the first anti-slavery political party, the Liberty Party, was formed. For the majority of abolitionists, this new party opened a big window for action.

The Puritans established the Northern colonies and the southern colonies were ruled by The house of burgesses. In the southern colonies the main people that inhabited the area were Catholics and protestants. The southern colonies ended up becoming excessively dependent on a plantation company that required slavery. Slavery was not a great solution to the labor problem but because a large portion or people owned a lot slaves and since that ownership was viewed as their wealth they were loathed to give up those slaves without financial compensation. Slavery was allowed in New England but very few people owned slaves.

The same issue arose, but now with the smaller state not being represented enough. If it wasn 't enough, this raised the issue of slaves counting towards a state 's population. Of course slave holding states wanted them to count fully, but the free states saw that slaves would hardly ever agree with their masters, so they didn 't want them to count at all. This led to the three fifths compromise, where a slave would only count as three fifth of a vote. However, with the smaller states not possessing a big enough sway the Virginia plan was quickly thrown out.

Their goal was to end the racial discrimination and segregation amongst. They believed that slavery was a sin and that it was every American’s obligation to help free them back to Africa. Not many people agreed though. Both Northerners and Southerners did not support he ways of goals of the abolitionist. They thought that it threatened the racial social order and created economic instability.

M. Hare, based on the utilitarianism theory of John Stuart Mill. The argument of R. M. Hare is examined, and exceptions in which utilitarianism actually condones slavery are proposed and analyzed. Slavery may means misery for slaves, but the abolition of slavery doesn’t necessarily mean happiness and well-being. In fact, the abolishment may lead the slaves to a more desperate state of being with little thing to eat and nowhere to sleep. In such case, it is basic needs versus human rights.

On the contrary, the Greater Appalachian ideals juxtaposed those of Tidewater, who saw liberty as a privilege, not a right. In American Nations, it is said, “From the outset, the Yankees were opposed to the very values cherished by the aristocratic society taking shape in Tidewater” (Woodard 63). Much like the Scots-Irish, the Yankees opposed a society dominated by the higher few. As mentioned, the Scots-Irish emigrated to the New World to be freed from the oppression they faced in Britain. The Yankees, in turn, shared similar beliefs, as they opposed the values of Tidewater and entered into conflict with them.

They set a new trading post at the Forks, while Thomas brought over six African slaves with him to the new post. Oglethorpe left Georgia and returned to London with unfulfilled promises for Mary. Oglethorpe relied heavily on Mary to keep the Creek leaders allied with the English interest but the leaders who supported him didn’t trust her, in part because she was a woman. Remaining of this question ponders on the how did Mary Musgrove’s action impact Georgia? In spite of their personal reasons of Mary, the English colonial officials still need her help.
