Why was Canada such an appealing place for runaway slaves to got to?

History
1 answer:
nignag [31]2 years ago
5 0

Hi, I'm pretty sure that is because for many slaves, Canada represented a dream of freedom where slave catchers and lynch mobs couldn’t hurt them. Slaves on the Underground Railroad endured months, and even years, of living like fugitives while bounty hunters and racist government policies were always trying to impede their flight to freedom.

Most slaves started out their journey on the Underground Railroad (which wasn’t an actual railroad but more of a resistance and escape route that was heavily organized by concerned American citizens) by running away from their plantation in the middle of the night. Often the runaway slave was alone, but on many occasions whole families would escape together.

Hope it helps you.

Despite the belief that the war would be over quickly, why did a stalemate occur along the Western Front?
inn [45]

There are many reasons for the stalemate develop along the western front, they are:

1. <em>The Schlieffen Plan failed</em>, the German commander made an alteration of the forced and made the right wing smaller than the left wing, this made it slower than planned and gave the opportunity to British and French forces to counter-attack. Also, the Germans didn’t plan that Belgium would resist.

2. The second reason is that the <em>Germans didn’t imagine the Russians would attack them in the east</em>, this is one of the reasons the right wing on number 1 was weakened.

3. Even though the Germans were completely exhausted they marched until Paris and French army was unable to defeat the German army at the <em>Battle of Marne</em> because they were in a large number and British and French army weren’t as prepared as the German’s.

4. After this both armies marched to the Belgian coast and stayed there for the <em>next 4 years</em>, this happened for many reasons such as <em>bad weather</em> - it was winter and there was a lot of mud - and the <em>new advanced mechanizes weapons</em> like machine guns made them stay inside their trenches to avoid more deaths.

What are two things the Emancipation Proclamation accomplished?
Setler [38]
The Emancipation Proclamation shifted the aim of the Civil war to freeing of the slaves in addition to preserving the Union. This was the main accomplishment of the Proclamation - freeing of slaves. This led to prevention of European involvement in the war since many Europeans were against slavery. This was yet another of Lincoln's accomplishments being that Britain and France had considered supporting the Confederacy before The Proclamation. Although slavery was abolished only in rebellious states, by the end of the war, it had influenced and prepared citizens to accept the idea and even advocate the abolition of slavery. Also, with the Proclamation African Americans were received into the army of U.S.
