African-American slaves believed that they should be given land that they worked on so that they could be free and have their own land and make their own produce. This is why Sherman made the promise of 40 acres and a mule, however, they didn't get it. All of the land was given back to the previous owners of the land and the African-Americans were given wages for their work.
Hello!
The correct answer is C) "Abolition violated states' rights to choose what their laws should be."
In the U.S., there are federal laws (that affect all states) and state laws that are implemented by the state and only affect that particular state. When Abolition was passed, the states argued that it restricted their freedom to create laws. Southern states supported slavery, and they felt that abolition (federal law) violated the states' rights to implement their own laws.
I hope this helps you! Have a lovely day!
