How did frederick douglass use the declaration of independence to argue against slavery

History
1 answer:
Vesna [10]3 years ago
8 0

Douglass drew on the custom of natural law in his argument against slavery. The past of Western equality and political belief places a strong importance on fairness and social development, which Douglass contended must have successively prejudiced the general ideas of America’s founding documents. According to Douglass, slavery also opposed the formation story of the Christian Bible, which states God “hath made of one blood all lands of men for to live on all the face of the earth.” According to Douglass, the Bible’s assertion of worldwide brotherhood, produced it to become a natural law that would have affected the framers' conscripting of the Constitution.

How did the American Revolution affect England Culture?
Vinil7 [7]

Britain spent a huge amount of money fighting the Revolutionary War, increasing national debt hugely and creating a yearly interest of nearly ten million pounds. Taxes had to be raised as a result. The trade which Britain relied on for wealth was severely interrupted, with imports and exports experiencing large drops and the recession which followed caused stock and land prices to plummet. Trade was also affected by naval attacks from Britain’s enemies, and thousands of merchant ships were captured.

On the other hand, wartime industry such as the naval suppliers or the elements of the textile industry which made uniforms experienced a boost, and unemployment fell as Britain struggled to find enough men for the army, a situation which would cause them to hire German soldiers. British ‘privateers’ experienced as much success preying on enemy merchant ships as almost any of their opponents.

The effects on trade were also short term, as British trade with the new USA rose to the same levels as trade with them in colonial form by 1785, and by 1792 trade between Britain and Europe had doubled. Additionally, while Britain gained an even larger national debt, they were in a position to live with it and there were no financially motivated rebellions like those of France.

Indeed, Britain was able to support several armies during the Napoleonic wars (and even field its own instead of just paying for other peoples). It's been said that Britain was even right to lose the war because of the economic benefits.

Why did Americans fear communism in the 1920s?
Serggg [28]

Answer:

They believed that communism was too totalitarian and wouldn't let people choose government. 2) The U.S. is a capitalist country, and so its prosperity depends on having people buy its products all over the world. In communist countries, there is no private property, so it cuts people off from buying products.

if this is correct can u answer my question on my profile thx
