The election of 1848 did nothing to quell the controversy over whether slavery would advance into the Mexican Cession. Some slaveholders, like President Taylor, considered the question a moot point because the lands acquired from Mexico were far too dry for growing cotton and therefore, they thought, no slaveholder would want to move there. Other southerners, however, argued that the question was not whether slaveholders would want to move to the lands of the Mexican Cession, but whether they could and still retain control of their slave property. Denying them the right to freely relocate with their lawful property was, they maintained, unfair and unconstitutional. Northerners argued, just as fervidly, that because Mexico had abolished slavery, no slaves currently lived in the Mexican Cession, and to introduce slavery there would extend it to a new territory, thus furthering the institution and giving the Slave Power more control over the United States. The strong current of antislavery sentiment—that is, the desire to protect white labor—only increased the opposition to the expansion of slavery into the West.

Answer:

Discrimination against people of color has been prominent for centuries in several countries. Today, there are widespread protests and riots for basic human rights, the death of George Floyd in 2020 sparked a revolution. Black children have a different type of "talk" with their parents then white children, its sad that at such a young age it is necessary for them to know that they might not be treated fairly simply because of the color of their skin. However, situations have admittedly improved, the widespread media coverage has allowed for a push in legislation supporting Black people. Therefore, the discrimation against Black people still persists today it is unfortunate that we as human beings can not look past the color of our skin.
