Many people during this time, including Washington, felt that slavery was justified because the slaves in America were previously slaves in Africa, and were treated more poorly by their African masters than they were by their American masters. This was of course heavily refuted.
I may be wrong, but I do believe this may have to do with Andrew Jackson's election, and the voting requirements changed because you no longer had to own property or be wealthy to vote. The common, free white man could vote.
Hi there,
Hamilton equate zenger's defense with "the cause of liberty" because it would appeal to the jury to understand that, were they to limit Zenger's rights by finding him guilty, they would limit their's as well
Hope this helped :)
Have a great day
Russian Empire was the biggest...!
