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.

Explain how we know that ancient civilizations knew of and were concerned of infectious diseases
Rufina [12.5K]
We can be sure that ancient civilizations knew of and were concerned about infectious diseases from several facts. The hunter gatherers rarely suffered from water borne diseases. They knew that the water that stank or did not taste well was not good to intake. Their main knowledge came from experience. During the Greek period several doctors like Alcmaeon of Croton were mentioned and hence they must have had the knowledge about infectious diseases like Cholera. Several other infectious disease treatment have also been mentioned during the Greek period.
