was the US South Senator who believed that slavery was necessary. He was a
political theorist that believed in republicanism, which also included the
approval of slavery. He defended slavery as a “positive good” and as a result
Southern minority threats escalated. </span>
The American way of life is the biggest threat to the American way of life.
We act as if we believe that we own and run the world. Careless, wasteful, more than a little bit cocky and self-centered — these traits have defined Americans and our way of life for several generations. It is time for us to become more thoughtful, careful stewards of our natural resources, and more respectful of those other nations with whom we share the earth. If we fail to adjust our attitude, it will become literally impossible for future Americans to enjoy anything like the lifestyle the baby boomers, their parents, and subsequent generations have enjoyed.
Continental Congress
Explanation:
The First Continental Congress
On September 5, 1774, delegates from each of the 13 colonies—except Georgia, which was fighting a Native American uprising and was dependent on the British for military supplies—met at Carpenters’ Hall in Philadelphia as the First Continental Congress to organize colonial resistance to the Intolerable Acts (or Coercive Acts) recently passed by the British Parliament.
The year 1776 is in the 18th century. It lasted from January 1, 1701 to December 31, 1800.
