History

spayn [35]3 years ago
6 0

We perceive that a great breach has been made in the moral and physical systems by the introduction of moral and physical evil; how or why, we know not; so, however, it is, and it certainly seems proper that this breach should be closed and order restored.

That men should pray and fight for their own freedom, and yet keep others in slavery, is certainly acting a very inconsistent, as well as unjust and, perhaps, impious part.

It is much to be wished that slavery may be abolished. The honour of the States, as well as justice and humanity, in my opinion, loudly call upon them to emancipate these unhappy people. To contend for our own liberty, and to deny that blessing to others, involves an inconsistency not to be excused.

Tamiku [17]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

It is FALSE that United States's Abolitionists strongly supported the war with Mexico.

This is evident in the fact that the war with Mexico is about expanding territories down south of the United States which includes the likes of Texas territory which is in support of slavery.

Therefore, many of the United States' abolitionists opposed the war on moral belief and the fact that it might increase the southern power on the issue of slavery practices.

The topic of each body paragraph of an informative essay should be supported with
siniylev [52]

An informative essay must be supported with evidence, thus, the topic of each body paragraph should help to teach or educate the reader about certain topic or subject. Also, an informative essay doesn't include anecdotes or personal opinions, the author has to maintain a neutral position all the time, and that is why propaganda is not accepted because it censors the content of an idea or an issue.
