Abraham Lincoln believed that slavery was bad completely and wanted to abolish it. When his election prompted the secession and the war started he made the emancipation proclamation which effectively free all slaves on the rebel territories and then later he was the creator of the 13th amendment which permanently outlawed slavery in all American territories.

Stephen Douglass believed that democracy should be the biggest way to solve the slavery issue. He wasn’t against slavery nor for it on a federal level, what he wanted was for the states to decide democratically through popular sovereignty and that the federal government would not interfere with their elections.

In what year would congress have the power to regulate the slave trade?.
ki77a [65]

Answer:

1808.

Explanation:

<em>"There is a sense in which the Clause is no longer constitutionally relevant since it expired in 1808. At the time the Constitution was adopted, there was no guarantee whether or when the federal Congress would act to prohibit the importation of slaves. So there is a legitimate inquiry about what took place in the political realm over the 20-year period between the adoption of the Constitution and 1808. During that time period, popular support for the abolition of the slave trade and slavery itself increased both in the United States and in other countries. There was more support for restricting the slave trade initially than slavery itself in this time period. In the 1790s, Congress passed statutes regulating the trade in slaves by U.S. ships on the high seas. The United Kingdom and other countries also passed legislation restricting the slave trade, increasing international pressure on the United States to likewise curb the practice."</em>

Why have myths been meaningful to humankind for thousands of years?​
lidiya [134]

Answer:

Myths and Legends have been a big part of everyday life and have been passed on from generation to generation. They have inspired and taken a large place in society. But why are some myths and legends from the middle ages still very popular today? It is because they are gripping and entertaining. They designed their stories to be as complicated and detailed as possible so it would keep those listening to the stories entertained. This is because most people were illiterate probably due to the fact that about 90 per cent of the population were peasants and thus had little or no education. These highly entertaining stories have been passed on from the people of the Middle Ages down to us today and we have loved them so. So many of our stories today are based on concepts from the middle ages which prove we love them dearly. For example, we have all fallen in love with things like the Hobbit which is based completely around medieval warfare, magic and Dragons (Check out some info on them at mythological creatures). Another example is the TV show, Merlin based completely on the stories and myths of King Arthur and Merlin and all the adventures that took place. So the reason that we all have fallen in love with these Legends or Myths is because they are so intricate and beautifully woven that we have no choice but to love them.
