What was the role of slavery and how did it

History
1 answer:
zepelin [54]1 year ago
6 0

The argument has often been used to diminish the scale of slavery, reducing it to a crime committed by a few Southern planters, one that did not touch the rest of the United States. Slavery, the argument goes, was an inefficient system, and the labor of the enslaved was considered less productive than that of a free worker being paid a wage.

This sharp contrast between America’s lofty ideals, on the one hand, and the seemingly permanent second-class status of the Negroes, on the other, put the onus on the nation’s political elite to choose the nobility of their civic creed over the comfort of longstanding social arrangements. Ultimately they did so. Viewed from a historic and cross-national perspective, the legal and political transformation of American race relations since World War II represents a remarkable achievement, powerfully.

According to European colonial officials, the abundant land they had "discovered" in the Americas was useless without sufficient labor to exploit it. Slavery systems of labor exploitation were preferred, but neither European nor Native American sources proved adequate to the task.

Why do you think the Jews were blamed for the Bubonic plague? What was the real cause?
Leviafan [203]

As a Jew myself, I had heard (not knowing for sure if it’s factual) that Jews who ate Kosher food did not get the Bubonic plague. Presumably, this was due to the fact that pork carried the virus of this particular plague. It also might have accounted for the fact that non-Jews were suspicious of why the Jews were not as affected.

How can Supreme Court opinions later be used?
mrs_skeptik [129]

The decisions they make later apply to every similar situation everywhere in the country. For example, there was a case in which students wanted to wear armbands protesting the war, but the school said that was disruptive. The Supreme Court sided with the student, and said they had a right to free speech as long as it wasn’t causing a material interruption. This case would later be the example on how to solve many cases regarding student’s freedom of speech.
