How did the abolitionist movement and the underground railroad help increase differences between the north and south

History
1 answer:
Lunna [17]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The abolitionist movement and the underground railroad increased tensions between the North and South because they highlighted the problem of slavery while fighting against it directly. Southern states felt attacked by these movements.

Explanation:

Slavery was an important feature of Souther identity. Because of their strong defense of slavery they felt personally attacked by any critics of the slavery system.

Thus as the abolitionist movement and the underground railroad gained momentum these questions got more intense. In the South the hate for abolitionism got to the point where censorship was overt: abolitionism was illegal and president Andrew Jackson prohibited the postal service from delivering abolitionist publications to the South.

These tensions were not resolved and would lead to the Civil War.

How did the war between japan and russia result in the cold war. How was the US and china involved exactly?
Yuki888 [10]

The war was actually between Japan and USSR, not Russia. It was fought on land belonged to China with US and Western allies watching and supporting the Chinese govt.

Japan was the aggressor and invaded part of China bordering USSR. To protect its own interests in China, USSR fought off Japan and took over the puppet govt in Manchuria set up by Japan. It allowed USSR to spread communism to China which turned into a communist country later. US and Western allies won WWII but were alarmed to see the spreading of communism. That confrontation was the beginning of the cold war.
