Answer:
The debate over slavery divided the United States into two sides. The north emerged as the center of antislavery activity during the abolitionist movement. The abolitionists objected to slavery for moral reasons. They believed that it was an unjust practice that stripped humans of their dignity.
Explanation:
Slavery was practiced in British America from the beginning of the colonial era, and was firmly established when the Declaration of Independence of the United States was signed. After this, there was a gradual expansion of abolitionism in the North, that stated that slavery was contrary to human dignity, while the rapid expansion of the cotton industry since the 1800s caused the South to cling tightly to slavery, and try to expand it into the new western territories of the country. Thus, slavery polarized the nation into slave states and free states through the Mason-Dixon line, which separated Maryland (slave) and Pennsylvania (free).
Answer:
Glorious Revolution
To gain a Protestant ruler
The Glorious Revolution was a revolt against the English King, King James II, in the years 1688 and 1689. King James II was a Catholic and this worried most of his Government and people especially when he started granting Catholics greater statuses. They therefore sought to remove him and after they did explicitly forbade the Monarchy from ever being Catholic.
To support a constitutional monarchy
The public mood during the time was that of a monarchy with some checks on its power from Parliament. King James did not seem to want this and dissolved Parliament in 1687 in order to instill a more subservient Parliament.
To protect Parliament's power.
Another reason for the revolt was a desire to protect the powers of Parliament which King James sought to remove. After the revolt ended, Parliament gained more power than it ever had under the reign of William of Orange and Mary (King James's daughter).
American Revolution
To win independence from Britain
The American Revolution occurred in the years 1775 to 1783 and was primarily done by the Colonies in what is now the USA to free themselves from the rule of Britain. This was done as a result of what was seen as unfair Taxation, Economical and other policies imposed on the Colonies by the British.
To create a Republican Government
Another aim of the Revolution was to have a democratic Government that was elected by the people to serve the people not a Monarch in a country thousands of miles away.
