Why did northern workers oppose the abolition of slavery?

History

Maru [420]3 years ago

Northern workers were opposed to the abolition of slavery because of the founded fear that free slaves could take their jobs. They knew that slaves will work for free so, they represented an economic threat to them. The shared believe was that most probably managers were going to hire these slaves to take up their jobs.

It is easy to imagine the consternation among the free workers of the north, to see their livelihood being taking away by the arrival of these new free slaves if the abolition of slavery when through.

Also, the release of these slaves presented a reduction of status for white workers who would have to compete with free slaves that probably were willing to work for less money. We can see now, that the concern was real for northern workers due to the increase competition that they  were about to face.

How does the<br> cartoonist<br> justify his<br> Idecision to<br> appease Hitler?
vlada-n [284]

Answer:

Well, the cartoonist is actually critical of Hitler in the drawing. The cartoonist is satirizing the appeasing position that many people had with Hitler, perhaps out of fear, but most likely out of hidden sympathy that with time became more and more explicit until the point that many people came out as Nazi supporters in the end.

The cartoonist is bringing attention to the dangers of initial appeasing a tolerant position to totalitarian regimes like national socialism, because this attidues can easily turn into political affiliation.

Do you think Adams was pleased with the verdict? Why or why not?
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

★ Adams decided to represent the British soldiers who were charged with murder in the Boston Massacre. The reason for this was that no one would actually volunteer to act as the defense attorney in this case. Adams, as the defense attorney, had to put his client's interest first, regardless of who they were. For these reasons, he was likely displeased with the verdict because his clients were not found guilty of a lesser crime of manslaughter.

Explanation:

Hope you have a great day ;-)

5 how did virginia and maryland develop during their early years?
zaharov [31]
<span>Virginia and Maryland both developed as agrarian economies during their formative years. Maryland was set up by Lord Baltimore to be more of a religious refuge than Virginia, though, since there was a need for a location for Catholic settlers to go to be able to worship with less interference. Virginia was settled as a location for plantation owners to farm tobacco, once it was shown to be a profitable crop.</span>
