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.

Montesquieu came up with separation of power - how did james madison use his theory to create our government structure
lys-0071 [83]
Madison understood that power can corrupt as seen with the kings of their time. So Madison set up the form of government that relies on separate branches of government that operates under checks and balances. This means that no one branch can get too powerful and overrule the other branches. We see this in modern government in the legislative, executive and judicial branches. Madison improved upon the idea that power cannot be held by one man or a few people.

Why can the Agrarian Era be considered a time of acceleration
sukhopar [10]

The Agrarian Era is one of the most important points in the human history and development. In this era, the humans changed their lifestyle from nomadic to settled one because they were able to produce surplus of food. This resulted in great and rapid development and progress of the human societies. As the humans had much more spare time, they started to occupy themselves with lot of other things, such as science, arts, building, resulting in an explosion of inventions and advancements in a very short period of time, and the process was constantly accelerating and the human kind was moving forward quicker and quicker.
