A. Abolitionism was the public face of a society waking up to the realization that skin color has no bearing on the worth of a human being. Did it change the meaning of freedom? No. It declared that all law abiding people who live in this country are extended the same rights and freedoms.

A. In the very early days, all states had slavery. In the South they were used on agricultural plantations but in the north farming was done on a smaller scale so most black slaves were personal and household servants. In the late 1700s a slave woman named Mum Bett (later Elizabeth Freeman) brought a suit against the govt. of Massachusetts. She pointed to the new constitution of Massachusetts which began with the statement that all people are born free and equal, and have the same unalienable rights. The suit resulted in slavery being abolished in Massachussets and, in a few years, in all the northern states. Elizabeth Freeman's story is really a fascinating one. You can read about it by Googling that name. Anyway, it was from this… [cont.]

A. No. The war was not a "civil war" as Lincoln was forbidden by the Constitution to march troops on American civilians. By doing so, he recognized the independence of the Confederate States and wage a war of aggression against them. The Reconstruction Act allowed northern politicians to treat the southern states as conquered territory. Slavery was not an issue until the English massed troops on the Canadian border in 1863 with the intent of coming to the aid of the Confederacy. Since England had already ended slavery, Lincoln's bogus "Emancipation Proclamation" was merely a public relations ploy to foster anti-war sentiment in England. The proclamation only "freed" slaves in territory that the Federals hadn't subdued. That would be… [cont.]

Asked by KayBee - Sat Feb 14 22:12:47 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. The early 1800s was an era when the notion of 'seperate spheres' became immensely popular. The ideal of the woman as presiding over hearth and home and influencing her husband and children for good was a very attractive one to American society. However, this image ignored the fact that a great many women had to work for a living outside the home, many single women and quite a lot of married women too. However, the woman at home remained the ideal, and her image was a powerful influence on American society. A lot of women got involved in the abolitionist movement from the 1830s onwards. The strong emphasis on family life and, also on the sexual purity of young women, had an influence on women's attitude towards slavery. The fact that… [cont.]

A. The Missouri Compromise had an amendment which contained slavery to the south where it already existed. Yet, after much dispute, in 1820 the Missouri Compromise was passed allowing Missouri to become a State that could allow slavery. Those men who were for the abolition of slavery did not want it to spread into the new territories being acquired after the war with Mexico. They also did not want to return slaves to their owners when a slave escaped. Southern society was built on the production of the slaves and owners did not want their way of life to change. They viewed slaves as 'property.' Abraham Lincoln was against the ownership of human beings. Each side took a hard stance and would not give in. Until small incidents of… [cont.]

A. The term "miscegenation" has been used to refer to interracial marriage and interracial sex, and more generally to the global process of racial admixture that has taken place since the Age of Discoveries, particularly through the European colonization of the Americas and the Atlantic slave trade. Historically the term has been used in the context of laws banning interracial marriage and sex, so-called anti-miscegenation laws. It is therefore a loaded word and is considered offensive by many. Today, the word miscegenation is avoided by many scholars, because the term suggests a distinct biological phenomenon, rather than a categorization imposed on certain relationships. The word is considered offensive by many and other terms such as "inte [cont.]

Asked by John M - Fri Jan 18 18:18:16 2008 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments

A. An important aspect of the theology behind the Second Great Awakening was a growing conviction among Americans that predestination - the idea that one's ultimate fate was preordained by God and not dependent upon any actions of the individual - was an old, tired idea whose time had come and gone. People became enamored with the idea of free will - the notion that people can choose their own course in life, including the choice of whether or not to accept the salvation offered by God through Jesus Christ. That idea of choice - the idea that people can choose to be saved - is pivotal to understanding the reform movements of the early- and mid-nineteenth century.
