Why did northern workers oppose the abolition of slavery?

History

Maru [420]4 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.

vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

To respond to criticism.

To explain the reasons for his choices.

Explanation:

Martin Luther King wrote his famous letter "Letter From Birmingham Jail" in April 16, 1963, an open letter to the critics who question his resolve of continuing the non-violent means of resistance to the racism and discrimination faced by the black people in America.

Due to his decision to hold the protests, he faced a lot of criticism from all spheres, which was also the main reason to write the letter so that the letter serves as <u>a response to those criticisms</u>, also <u>explaining his causes and reasons to the choices he made</u>.
