Why did northern workers oppose the abolition of slavery?

History
1 answer:
dsp733 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The correct answer is the first, They feared competition from black workers.

Explanation:

The reason why some northern workers opposed abolitionism was because they saw the liberation of black people as a potential threat to their jobs because of competition.

It must be said though that records show it was a minority of norther workers who were explicitly and actively <em>against</em> abolitionism. Most of the time workers weren't active supporters because they saw themselves as wage slaves struggling to survive who didn't have time to fight for anything else.

Otrada [13]

The reason and cause of the crusades was a war between Christians and Moslems which centered around the city of Jerusalem and the Holy places of Palestine. The City of Jerusalem held a Holy significance to the Christian religion.   Two major effects of the Crusades were that the kings' authority increased and the Europeans learned about new things from the Muslims they encountered. During the Crusades, the kings increased taxes to fund the cause. Many peasants also left their land to fight, and when they died, the land went to the king.

Describe what happened to Napoleon when he invaded russia
Brut [27]
<span>Napoleon failed to conquer Russia in 1812 for several reasons: faulty logistics, poor discipline, disease, and not the least, the weather. Napoleon's method of warfare was based on rapid concentration of his forces at a key place to destroy his enemy. This boiled down to moving his men as fast as possible to the place they were needed the most. To do this Napoleon would advance his army along several avenues and converging them only when necessary. The slowest part of any army at the time was the supply trains. While a soldier could march 15 - 20 miles a day, a supply wagon was generally limited to about 10 - 12 miles a day. To avoid being slowed down by the trains, Napoleon insisted that his troops live as much as possible off the land. The success of Napoleon time after time in Central Europe against the Prussians and the Austrians proved that his method of warfare worked. However for it to work, the terrain must co-operate. There must be a good road network for his army to advance along several axes and an agricultural base capable of supporting the foraging soldiers.</span>
