What was the attitude of the American government toward slavery

History
1 answer:
Anvisha [2.4K]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Thomas Jefferson wrote that “all men are created equal,” and yet enslaved more than six-hundred people over the course of his life.  Although he made some legislative attempts against slavery and at times bemoaned its existence, he also profited directly from the institution of slavery and wrote that he suspected black people to be inferior to white people in his Notes on the State of Virginia.

Throughout his entire life, Thomas Jefferson was publicly a consistent opponent of slavery. Calling it a “moral depravity”1 and a “hideous blot,”2 he believed that slavery presented the greatest threat to the survival of the new American nation.3 Jefferson also thought that slavery was contrary to the laws of nature, which decreed that everyone had a right to personal liberty.4  These views were radical in a world where unfree labor was the norm.

Hi!

So I answered this same exact question for someone a little while ago, I hope you don't mind I just copied my answer for them.

1a.) A Greek drama is a is a play which was performed in ancient Greece, most notably the tragedies.


1b.) The actors in Greek theater were called hypocrites, I believe. The Greek spelling the was "hypokrites"


1c.) The Greek word "hypokrite" is a compound word which translates to "an interpreter from underneath." This is because they performed while their faces were hidden underneath giant masks so the ancient audiences could easily tell characters apart. More information can be found here: https://www.merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/hypocrite-meaning-origin


1d.) aside from the actors there was a chorus, which explained necessary information to the audience, usually in song form. Eventually this evolved to be a more active role in the plays.


1e.) The plays were performed in open air theaters (theatron), the most famous of which is at the acropolis in Athens. They were shaped like a bowl for acoustics.


They also had parts 2-4 on there but I wasn't confident enough in my history of Ancient Greece to answer parts 3 & 4.
