History
1 answer:
Ghella [55]3 years ago
4 0

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.

How was cattle ranching first brought to the Indian Territory? Describe the methods used by the Five Tribes.
frozen [14]

Answer:

After being sent to new land in the Indian Territory because of the Indian Removal Act, the Five Tribes began to place more of an emphasis on ranching. These tribes had used livestock ranching and herding on their old land, but the plains of the Indian Territory were excellent for open-range grazing. The tribes usually shared cattle and land communally. This meant that the tribe held ownership over herds instead of having smaller herds that were owned by individuals. The tribes began to create ranching and herding operations that would allow them to sell cattle, but the Civil War caused many changes that hindered these efforts.

ch4aika [34]

Answer:

It confirmed that Southern states feared the election of Lincoln would bring about the end of slavery.

Explanation:

The Southern states believed that Lincoln would have ended slavery. However, prior to the war, Lincoln was actually not a staunch abolitionist, rather he was a free-lander, in which he only believed that slavery should not be able to spread westwards into the newly acquired territories. Lincoln only had a change of heart during the American Civil War.
