3 0

In The Great Gatsby, Gatsby's rise and fall - in terms of fame and financial success - can be seen as a critique of the ideals of the American Dream. The values of the American Dream - the idea that one can work hard and achieve financial success - is deconstructed throughout the novel. However, as the novel demonstrates wealth and fame does not, by any means, guarantee one's happiness.

The Wilmot Proviso prevented new states from becoming slave states, the compromise enabled them to become slave states if popular sovereignty wanted them to be. California was allowed to become a new, non-slave state, and in return Slavery was enabled and allowed in the south, strengthening fugitive laws even more. To everyone it seemed like a victory for a while.

Name the (2) labor systems that developed in the South?

balu736 [363]

In the lower South the majority of slaves lived and worked on cotton plantations. Most of these plantations had fifty or fewer slaves, although the largest plantations have several hundred. Cotton was by far the leading cash crop, but slaves also raised rice, corn, sugarcane, and tobacco.

So slaves did a lot of heavy farm work and were household servants.
