If there was no civil war, would America still have slavery?

History

Tems11 [23]3 years ago

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.

Benefits and challenges that the Clergy class faced
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

Pros :

You had the possibility to help people rather directly as there were more little towns.

People were much more receptive to your preaches. You had a rather large freedom of speech especially if you were a bishop. (This is not in middle ages but the priest that lead Louis XIV burial mass said in his preach “Only God is great !” (Implicitly saying that the king was a standart man that was confronted to the same necessity than other people).

You had access to a good education (and to some boos, what was rather scarce before the XVIth century) hence, you were one of the few litterate persons allowing you to teach people how to read and write. You could have an intellectual influence and a social influence by teaching the local lord’s children how to read and sometimes give political pieces of advice to the local lord.

You could yourself be a local lord as bishop / head of an abbey.

You could be the head of a local charity (origin of hospitals).

In France you didn’t pay taxes. On the contrary, you received one tenth of peasants’ crops.

If you were an eminent bishop / cardinal, or if you were the Pope you could have tremendous spiritual and political power.

You could get married while being a catholic priest (before the XIIth century, before 1123 precisely).

Cons :

You could be obliged to condemn people because they didn’t believe in God - help the Inquisition.

You had to help / discuss with people that were sentenced to death what should have been very difficult on a psychological point of view.

You couldn’t get married after the XIIth century (after 1123).

You could be seen with envy considering your privileges.

The Renaissance radically changed the way of life for millions of Europeans. Which change did you find the most significant?
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

I would find that the most significant change in the Renaissance would be the art, not only because the art itself has inspired artists for generations, but because it is usually the first thing you think of when you hear the word. The Renaissance was an amazing time to be an artist because it was the revival of art, and was more open to free speech, political commentary, and overall just expression of the self. Most paintings and sculptures from this time period are also widely known by most people today, such as the Mona Lisa, The Last Supper, Michaelangelo's David, which are recognizable to almost anyone. These artists often used their art to express their religious beliefs, such as Michaelangelo's work, where he fit so many biblical references into the Sistine Chapel ceiling, and put up with the painful work not only for the commission, but because he felt it was his calling from God

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

Vicksburg was essential to controlling the Mississippi River.

Explanation:

The city of Vicksburg in Mississippi was one of the most important locations that would help determine who succeeds in the Civil War. And it was the desire to conquer this city that Lincoln famously declared as "the key".

Vicksburg was along the Mississippi River and also a major stronghold of the Confederate troops. The capture of this city would determine which way the War will sway. Abraham Lincoln considered it important because it was essential to the controlling of the Mississippi River.

Thus, the correct answer is the third option.
