The tensions over the slavery caused conflict in America primarily because of the different political views on the matter, as well as the economy.
The North wanted to modernize, and to follow the example of the European countries that abolished the slavery, thus they wanted the slaves to be freed, and to be equal citizens in the society. Also, the North was industrialized, so they were really not dependent on slaves to keep their economy going.
The South wanted things to remain the same. They did not wanted the slavery to be abolished, but instead to remain as it is. The economy of the south was largely based on the plantations with different types of crops. Big portion of the work done on the plantations was done by the slaves, so if they were freed, that would mean that the plantations would either be left without enough laborers, or the former slaves would have demanded wages that would lower the profit of the plantation owners.
This disagreements eventually led to a bloody conflict, which ended up with a win for the North.
Answer:
B.
Explanation:
The senate exists for every other reason.
I would make a law where anyone can come over to the United States and stay, regardless of their legal status. Open borders, where anyone, from anywhere, can, in exchange for providing ID, a customs/smuggling/invasive species check of their belongings, and maybe a health check, they get in. Once in, a separate but similarly simple process to get a green card. Following a suitable period of residency, say, 5-10 years, citezinship (if they want it). It would be suitable for this law to fall under the Legislative Branch, as it makes all laws (including laws relating to immigration), declares war, regulates interstate and foerign commerce, and controls taxing and spending policies.
The colonists required labor for agriculture and other tasks so they brought in slaves, which was the cheapest form of labor available.
The slaves were brought on boats from Africa, usually in terrible conditions which led to many of them dying during the journey before even making it to America.
The slaves in the South worked mainly on the farms and plantations as the South had a lot of cultivatable land and the region's economy depended on it. Meanwhile, slaves in the New England and Middle regions were usually just house servants, cleaning, cooking and carrying out other tasks around their owner's house.
The economy of the South depended heavily on the cultivation of crops, especially cotton. The introduction of slaves allowed land owners to cultivate larger lands and gain more profit since the labor they had required little to no input.
