What does the story of Celia tell us about the changing social norm ? (Celia Slave Story)

History
1 answer:
Ghella [55]3 years ago

Answer:

That gradually, but very slowly, white people had to morally come clear with slavery and abuse of female slaves.

Explanation:

Celia is the haunting story of a young black girl (14 years old!) who is abused by her white owner in Missouri . During 5 long years she put up with it but then decided to murder him. In the trial she was vigorously defended by state-appointed attorneys, who built their case on a state law allowing women the use of deadly force in such cases.

Of course it didn't help her, she was hanged because the white social order was not to be altered legally. But it did made many white people conscious about their inmoral decisions in respect to slaves. So it did set a moral precedent.

What were the two primary reasons for Polk wanting the land for the United States?
Sliva [168]

Answer:

While the public's fear of foreign involvements in continental North America may have concurred with Polk's agenda, the war he fought against Mexico that began in May 1846 and concluded in February 1848 sparked widespread criticism throughout political, journalistic, and literary circles in addition to strong support. Following the annexation of Texas, the Mexican government had severed diplomatic relations with the U.S. Polk subsequently sent an envoy, former Louisiana congressman John Slidell, to Mexico to try to resolve disputes over the Texas boundary and over damages that the Mexican government owed to U.S. citizens but could not pay. Polk instructed Slidell to make an offer that the U.S. would pay off Mexico's debt in order to acquire "Upper California and New Mexico" and would spend as much as $40 million to purchase the land.
