"Still, though a slaveholder, I freely acknowledge my obligation as a man; and I am bound to treat humanely the fellow creatures

whom God has entrusted to my charge ... It is certainly in the interest of all, and I am convinced it is the desire of every one of us, to treat our slaves with proper kindness."—Letter from former South Carolina governor James Henry Hammond, 1845 "Standing with God and the crushed and bleeding slave on this occasion, I will, in the name of humanity which is outraged, in the name of Liberty which is fettered, in the name of the constitution and Bible, which are disregarded, and trampled upon, dare to call in question and denounce ... slavery 'the great sin and shame of America'!"—Fredrick Douglass, from speech titled "The Meaning of July Fourth for the *****," 1852
The ideas of Hammond are most clearly an example of which of the following mid-19th century developments?
Select one:
a. The increasingly liberal nature of slavery after the South enforced stronger slave codes
b. The growing use by Northern antislavery activists of moral arguments
c. The increasing number of freed slaves in Southern states as a result of gradual emancipation laws
d. The growing tendency of Southern slaveholders to use the paternal ethos to justify slavery

<span><span><span>POLITICSTrump Gave a Racist and Anti-Immigrant Speech to Cops at the FBI and They Loved It</span>Rafi SchwartzToday 11:46am25</span>APDonald Trump appeared at the FBI’s headquarters in Quantico, VA, on Friday, to deliver the keynote address to graduates of the bureau’s elite National Academy training program for local law enforcement officers from around the country. There, he gave a racist, anti-immigrant speech to the apparent joy of the audience.Regarding the green card lottery system—a frequent target of this administration, despite the president’s seeming inability to understand what it actually entails—Trump said: “You think the [other] countries [are] giving us their best people? No.”“They give us the worst people,” Trump continued. “They put them in a bin, but in his hand when he’s pickin’ ‘em is really the worst of the worst.”The crowd laughed.Trump also used the opportunity to raise the specter of one of his favorite immigration boogymen: the MS-13 gang.“To any member of MS-13 listening,” Trump said, doing his best Liam Neeson, “We will find you. We will arrest you. We will jail you. We will throw you the hell out of the country.”He went on to add that in prison “we have to take care of them.”“Who the hell wants to take care of them?” Trump asked the crowd. “You know, the jail stuff is wonderful, but we have to pay for it, right?”Again, the audience—made up largely of local police, and NOT immigration officials—laughed and applauded.
And what would a Trump speech to police be without some standard-level racism about Chicago?“What the hell is going on in Chicago?” Trump asked the laughing crowd at one point during his remarks, before pivoting to Baltimore, another city that’s been wracked by racist policing.The crowd went wild.Recommended StoriesTrump Endorsed Police Brutality to a Room Full of Cops, and They Loved ItFox News Is Super Excited That Trump Is Letting Cops Use Military Weapons on ProtestersFeds Reportedly Warned Cops That Charlottesville Would Be Violent and They Still Did NothingAbout the authorRafi SchwartzRafi SchwartzNews reporter, Splinter.

Baron de Montesquieu is most closely associated with which idea?
vivado [14]

<u> B. A government's powers should be separated among different branches of government.</u>

Baron de Montesquieu was a French political philosopher often remembered for his work of a treatise on political theory, called <em>The Spirit of the Laws</em> (1748), in which he established and promoted the idea that the government should be separated into three different branches: the legislative, the executive, and the judicial. All of which should rule under the law and must check each other’s power in order to prevent corruption or abuses of power.

What did the treaty of versailles mean for Europe?<br> -Land<br> -Peace Keeping
Paul [167]
The Treaty of Versailles meant peace at the times, as it ended the WWI. However, it also established very harsh conditions for Germany (high war reparations), which later led to Germany's poverty and the rize of Nazis to power : so it's blamed for instigating (causing, leading to) the WWII.

The Treaty of Versailles also brought a big land loss for Germany, Austria and Hungary.
