White Southerners defended the institution of slavery on a several fronts.  They stated that it was necessary especially for the economy, They argued that slaves were the only ones who could do the needed work to grow tobacco (and later cotton). The Southerners also argued that there was no reason to cinsider that slavery was immoral.  They appealed to three sources to support this claim.  First, they looked to Biblical times.  They pointed out that there was slavery in the Old Testament and the New Testament and that Jesus never spoke against the practice.  Second, they looked at classical antiquity.  They claimed that the Greeks and the Romans counted on slaves  Finally, they looked to the time of the Founding Fathers.  They stated that the people who wrote the Constitution also had slaves.

In what ways did louis xiv's approach to controlling the french nobility differ from that taken by cardinal richelieu?
pentagon [3]
<span>Let’s start with the Cardinal first. Richelieu was a talented statesman and politician, and as Chief Minister of the king (Louis XIII at that time) he consolidated royal power at the expense of the nobles, and made France a strong centralized state. The King Louis XIV, basically, followed the Cardinal’s footsteps and went further by housing most of them in the Versailles Palace. In addition, the king used entertaining, impressing, and domesticating them with extravagant luxury to keep a close eye and a heavy heel on the aristocracy.</span>
