Viefleur [7K]3 years ago

<span>In the Declaration of Independence, Jefferson considers the following truths to be self-evident: 1) That all men are created equal; 2) That they are “endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights.” 3) He then specifies these rights as - the right to life, 4) the right to liberty and 5) the right to "the pursuit of happiness." Though the English philosopher (John Locke) that probably influenced Jefferson's thoughts and words put it this way - the right to life, the right to liberty, and the right to property (or estate), instead of 'the pursuit of happiness.'</span>

Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

1. Slavery

The South relied on slavery for labor to work the fields. Many people in the North believed that slavery was wrong and evil so they wanted slavery to be illegal throughout the United States. This made wealthy landowners in the South fearful that their way of life would come to an end.

2. States' Rights

Since the Constitution was first written there had been arguments about how much power the states should have versus how much power the federal government should have. The southern states felt that the federal government was taking away their rights and powers.

3. Expansion

As the United States continued to expand westward, each new state added to the country shifted the power between the North and the South. Southern states began to fear they would lose so much power that they would lose all their rights.

****While there were many political and cultural differences between the North and the South that contributed to the American Civil War, the main cause of the war was slavery.

A hypothesis is a proven fact.<br> a. True<br> b. False
jeka57 [31]
This is FALSE. I say this because a hypothesis is a statement which is not universally true. More research has to be carried out for it to become a law. Which is a proven fact. Hope i helped. Have a nice day.
