History

sesenic [268]3 years ago

The Northwest Ordinance of 1787 appeared to outlaw slavery, which meant that slavery was not allowed in the Northwest Territory. However, the passage of the Fugitive Slave Laws meant that slaves who escaped from one state to another one would have to be returned to their owners, even if found in a free state. Therefore, escaped enslaved people in the Northwest Territory were not necessarily considered to be free.

They were technically free. But the Fugitive Slave Laws said that any escaped slave must be returned. So if they were caught they had to go back.

What do you find interesting about Native American culture? Explain.
leonid [27]

Thanksgiving - Wampanoag: Thanksgiving is a popular holiday in the United States. But before the Europeans came, the Wampanoags were doing Thanksgiving beforehand, and ate dishes that we still eat on Thanksgiving today; cornbeard, turkey, dressing, cranberry sauce, etc.

Hockey - Sauk, Foxes and Assiniboine: Hovkey was originally called "Shinny", and was played with a ball made of buckskin and a curved stick. Unlike in the modern world, you can play either floor hockey or ice hockey, these Native American groups only played it in the winter.

Gumbo - Native American Choctaws: This is a very popular dish in the Southern states of America and escpecially in Lousiana. It was originally made from Native Americans, who shared the recipe with slaves and poor white farmers.

Hope this helps, have a blessed and wonderful day! :-)

What factor encouraged many states to vote for ratification?
gulaghasi [49]

In the late 1780's, states were debating whether or not to ratify the Constitution. They were broken into two different state convention groups, those who were for and those who against ratification: the Federalists and the Antifederalists.

Federalists were in favor of a strong government and wanted the constitution passed as it was. The Antifederalists formed as opponents to the Federalists. They thought that the Constitution gave the central government too much power, and left the states with with not enough.

State constitutions usually included a bill of rights, which was missing from the Constitution of the United States. This was the main reason why certain states who were not in favor of ratification.

Eventually, the Federalists promised to add a bill of rights, after ratification. This was the main factor that encouraged many states to vote for ratification in the end.
