Answer:

Because the colonies had their own legislatures and the parliament did not.

Thomas Jefferson argued that Parliament was the legislature of Great Britain only, and that the colonies, which had their own legislatures, were connected to the rest of the empire only through their allegiance to the Crown (King George III).

Zinaida [17]

Jefferson was a strict constructionist of the Constitution, which basically meant that he wanted to follow a strict interpretation of the Constitution itself.  That means that he wanted to follow it word for word or follow exactly what the document said.  

Being an Anti-Federalist, Jefferson was not really in favor of the Constitution in the first place, so as a result, he believed that if he had to follow this document that he didn't agree with, he believed he should have to follow it word for word if it should be followed at all.  Most of the Anti-Federalists preferred the states to have more power than the government, so it was difficult for the Anti-Federalists to accept the Constitution.  

That's why the Bill of Rights was helpful when it was written as it directly addressed the rights of the people in the Constitution.

Nataly_w [17]

Virginia had the largest population of enslaved African Americans of any state in the Confederacy, and those slaves responded to the American Civil War (1861–1865) in a variety of ways. Some volunteered to assist the Confederate war effort, while many others were forced to support the Confederacy, working on farms and in factories and households throughout Virginia. Thousands escaped to the Union army's lines, earning their freedom and forcing the United States to develop a uniform policy regarding emancipation. Others remained on their home plantations and farms but took advantage of the war to gain some measure of autonomy for their families. Slaves' wartime actions most often exhibited their strong desire for freedom, and even those who chose not to escape frequently welcomed the Union army as liberators. MORE...
