The Southern Plantation owners could not conceive a world without slaves. They were the ones who did all the hard work, and lived in very poor health conditions and so were cheap workers. They tried to enforce the idea that the black Africans should be enslaved and they (as white) had the right to own people. The laws favoring free states and the decision of some northern states of not following the Fugitive Slave Act were some of the reasons the the Southern states united in as Confederate States of America.
After the war and enslavement abolition, the black people continued working on plantations, under very bad conditions.
Once when preparing for a Spanish test I used repetition to help me study. This technique was useful for me, because when I wrote out vocabulary words and continued to review them until the day of the test it helped me remember the words a lot easier.
