This is one of those questions that is near impossible to answer.

The best I can give you, based upon my reading, is that it is likely that slavery would have continued for quite a while longer. Over time, though, it would have held a diminished role in society as the South industrialized. The advent of the assembly line would have further pushed the decline.

Holding slaves was a morally bankrupt AND expensive endeavor. For a long time, the cost benefit analysis for slave owners was that they could get years of work out of a person without wages. Eventually, with technology, this would have made the institution less of a good "investment," combined with moral pressure as most of the Western world divested itself from slavery.

So, you'd likely see a more pronounced version of our de facto slavery with migrant farm workers in the United States.

What’s the difference between astronomy and astrology

Andru [333]

Astronomy is the science that study stars, planets, galaxies and other thing that exist in the known universe. As a science it follows the same principles as other fields like chemistry or physics. Astrology is the theory that links certain behaviours or even prediction of the future based on the movements and the influences of the stars on our lifes. So, the difference is that one is a science field, the other is a theory.

How was ratification of the new constitution made easier?

AURORKA [14]

The correct answer is D.by highlighting the shortcomings of the Articles of Confederation

The Articles of Confederation had several weaknesses that made it an ineffective form of government. One of these weaknesses is a weak central government. The central (aka federal) government could not collect taxes, force states to follow federals laws, and struggled to develop an army.

Highlighting these types of weaknesses at the Constitutional Convention solidified the idea that a completely new constitution needed to be developed for America.
