Southern Slavery Issue

Slavery, in the South and as well in the North, played a huge role of the culture of their societies. The North had a general belief in abolitionism, while the South opposed that idea. All the economic reasons led to the cultural differences. The South viewed slavery as a necessity to their economy. The North believed it was wrong to own a human being. The South contradicted this idea with the North’s use of cheap labor in its factories.

One effect on the issue was that the economy in the south was fueled by cultivation of staple crops that required slaves for labor. In the South slavery wasn’t thought as an evil as in the North because to the Southerners defense the slaves in their opinion were treaty in contrast to workers in England and peasants that were Irish, also the end of slave trade brought higher value to the slaves causing their owners to be less harsh because they were more valuable. Although slavery fueled the economy in the South it was not the same in the North therefore there was no complete dire need for slavery, and although the slaves probably weren’t treated as bad as the north had thought they still saw it as

One of the most common moral defenses of slavery was that slaves were being kept in better conditions than they would be if they had legitimate, paying jobs. For example, once slaves had grown too old to complete hard labor in the fields, they could be brought into the house, where they could be more comfortable working less strenuous jobs. Whereas a paid field worker would be fired once they grew too old to work. What this defense didn 't take into account was the horrible conditions that many slaves lived in their entire lives, and the physical, mental and emotional toll that these conditions took. For example, many slave owners allowed their overseers to hit workers who they believed were disobedient, or who just weren 't working fast enough. Female slaves were routinely sexually abused, and were punished for attempting to protect themselves. This kind of physical abuse would create an atmosphere of fear

Controversy arouse in from the years 1793 to 1860 on a wide scale of topics regarding the Slavery as well as North and South arguments lead to impact America throughout these years. Controversy and discussion, even war, were brought about with how the topics such as how cotton developed the “Cotton Kingdom”, the aristocrats of the south, slavery and its systems, how slaves were treated, abolitionism, and the effects of antislavery on the North and South were handled. All of the topics discussed are vital parts that helped to lead the United States into Civil War in 1861.

The issues of slavery between North and South was indirectly the cause of the beginning of civil war. Since the North changed their minds about the black population, they had a difficult time with the South, with they believe that Africans had to serve white people. So the problem between the North and South wasn’t something new, it was happening since the government was trying to prevent spread out of the slavery across America, as a result, South started to create, manipulate, and change the laws in their territories to keep the control of the slaves. Also, they had the idea to hide all laws that the North created to favor the slaves. For example, all the mails that came from North, they immediately destroy them to keep the people of southern completely incommunicado from the new laws. Another measure that they made was to make the North believe that Africans were happy to be a slave in the South, in other words, they created propaganda showing the slaves having a good life in the South. Because they was playing with the life of the black people, showing that they will do whatever to avoid lose the law that they had to use black people as slaves. But the real situation that cause the beginning of the civil war was the final decision that south made to protect their slaves. By separating from United States and becoming an independent country, the South obtained the capacity to ignore future treatise about slavery. That is why the civil war began in America,

There were social developments in the South during this time period as well. Since slavery was an extreme moral issue, there were many people arguing either for or against it. The southern whites came up with many different reasons to defend slavery. One way they defended it was by saying that the Bible did not condemn it. They argued that the Bible said it allowed the enslavement of Heathens, which the south believed African Americans to be. They also said that many other societies depended on slavery, like they did. They believed that some of the greatest empires, like classical Greece and Rome, depended on slavery and would not have existed without it. Slavery defenders reasoned that African Americans didn’t have the ability to care for themselves and that they were an inferior race, in which needed someone to care for them. They argued that slaves in the South lived better than the factory workers of the North. Masters cared for the slaves; while northern workers had no claim to their employer. They thought that the manner in which the slaves were treated was much more humane than how the workers in the factories were treated.

In the history of the United States, it is known that slavery originated during the colonization of the New World. As more western territories were acquired from the Louisiana Purchase, people began to expand west as it was justified by the Manifest Destiny. With the availability and desire to colonize the new lands, slaves became more of a necessity especially in the Southern territories. As slavery sparked controversy between the Northern and Southern states, there was no solution to be found that satisfied the nation and was unable to prevent secession of states. The establishment of slavery brought unforeseen consequences and can be argued as the principle cause of the Civil War.

In the Southern states, Slaves would work to make cotton in Plantation field's, they had no rights to anything and there only job was only to work, the suffering from working hard led to fear because the women would be raped by their Master's and the men would have to leave their children and wife to work on plantations or who could plow their fields, no slaves that were women and men had no freedom, during the time as being a slave, the title that have focused on was the religion they had thought that Christianity ''became a hope and resistance'' on page 433. Through the days of becoming a slave man have resisted, some have escaped, and some have done, not survive quickly enough, the legalization of slavery in the southern states made a big impact for African- Americans because many were enslaved to be taken away from their families and so led to white people as their ''Masters'' many women that were enslaved have been raped and used to work on the plantation field and also plow the field.

No one issue can be claimed as the dominate issue that produced The Civil War. The war was caused by many disputes such as sectionalism, expansion of slavery, and abolitionist. Although there were many issues some were consider to be much more influential than the others. These include sectionalism and the expansion of slavery. The North and South could not seem to stop arguing over the expansion of slavery to the west as well as their many differences in other areas.

Slaves play a major roles in shaping the south. For obvious reason southern society took slavery to be a critical factor in economic and social identity. Slaves was the ultimate source of the south finances, through crops, marketing, trade monopolies slavery and industry productions. Slavery labor was excessive and slavery produce, one hundred percent return on of capital profits for south. The enforce labor works of slave was free and made easy for southern society obtain their status. Through their expropriation of slave distribution a great deal of southern land proprietor, industrial, business and the society flowing exchange industry could withstand. (Cobb, 2015) A great deal of farm and business and business dispensing slaves labor because they were consider property and did free labor service without

The question of slavery and the rights of states to decide on the matter for themselves completely controlled politics in the years prior to the Civil War. Laws were passed, such as the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850, which made it so any slaves that escaped were to be sent back to their owners. Not only would these runaway slaves be punished severely, but anybody who aided them in escape would also be subject to harsh punishment. These desperate men, women, and children had no protection in the legal system and were left with no options in life other than escape. Many of these escapees had to watch friends and family be beaten, sold, or even killed and were expected to work just as hard, like nothing had happened. After losing everything, it

When Englishmen arrived at Jamestown they found a great land for farming. A few years later when the Englishmen decided to settle down at the new land, they grew a high-grade tobacco at the Chesapeake . It did not take long time for settlers to understand that they could pay their fines, debts, and taxes with tobacco, so they started to grow tobacco everywhere. In order to support economic growth and luxury living, Englishmen started to buy slaves, and made many of them to work on tobacco farms. Growing tobacco was a burdensome process. Slaves did not have any knowledge about their rights, or they were not able to take care of themselves without their owners. Most of

When seven states that were initially part of the United States declared that they were seceding from the union, the American civil war became inevitable to save the union. The seven states declared they had formed the "confederacy", but the Northern States refused to accept the secession and the civil war broke out. The war would remain one of the greatest milestones in the history of the United States of America. During the time the war started, United States was grappling with many problems that ranged from slavery to nationalism (Civil War Trust, 2015). The northerners and the southerners had conflicting opinions regarding these issues sharply. This situation drove a wage between the two sides resulting in violent confrontations that eventually

In the 1800s the Institution of Slavery became very dominant in the United States, but mainly in the South. Due to the climate and their type of economy, their agriculture productions required a great amount of labor that was performed by the slaves. In the south, “slavery was key to the way of life”1 the majority of the south relied on the slaves to do all of the hard work for them and maximize the profit of their owners. The northern states however had a different type of economy and did not require the work of slaves to maintain their style of living. Their climate as well did not allow them to have an agricultural based economy, the soil in the north was not fertile and the growing season was not long enough for them to have a dominant

As slavery slowly decreases, it still lives near us even if we don’t realize. In 1619, slavery began when African American slaves were brought to Jamestown colony. Owners of these servants; a person employed by one another, wrote about their experience. Laws were made by legislators. The right to property (human right for natural persons regarding their possessions) and property of rights (how resources is used and owned economically) were taken away from many men and it has and been a big issue politically. Owning another person and fighting to own their rights is always a debatable issue.
