In 1949, the Soviet Union detonated its first atomic device, ending the United States' short reign as the sole atomic power on Earth. The entry of the Soviets into the atomic club made Americans nervous, not to mention a little suspicious: how did the USSR get the bomb so fast?

start superscript, 1, end superscript
When it came to light that Soviet spies in the US atomic program had passed secrets to Russia, Americans began to worry that spies might be lurking in every corner of society. In the late 1940s and early 1950s, there were several highly-publicized espionage trials that convicted leading scientists and government figures of espionage, culminating in the 1953 execution of scientist Julius Rosenberg and his wife Ethel for passing information about the atomic bomb to Russia. These convictions served to justify fears that spies could be active throughout the country.

Explain how the fugitive slave act violated the core principles of american democracy
larisa [96]

The origins of these acts go back to the constitution where the article 4 has a clause called the fugitive slave clause which orders states to deliver up fugitives from labor (euphemism for runaway slaves) when they are requested by slaveholders.

This clause was translated into the first 1793 statute which was basically a civil statute that was not well enforced according to the southern states, thus leading to the creation of the 1850 fugitive slave act.

The 1850 act was tougher than the previous one, punishing not only runaway slaves, but also people who harbored or aided slaves in any way, with civil and criminal penalties including up to 6 months imprisonment if caught and prosecuted successfully.

There were many documented cases of people being tortured and imprisoned in south because of helping fugitives.

These acts directly violated the democracy in several ways for example:

  • Slavery had been abolished in many states of the US by the time these acts were created
  • They were considered by many as some species of legalized kidnapping
  • They encouraged illegal abduction or arrest and sale into slavery of free black men and women denying them the fair right to trial

One clear example would be the movie "Twelve years a slave" which depicts the documented case of Solomon Northup, a free black man who was sold as a slave without proof of him being one.

luda_lava [24]
The influence of religion in the US during this time was perhaps most notable in New England, where the Puritans used their hard work ethic to build the societies that would soon blossom into thriving cities. In the Southwest, religion took more of a backseat, and was more about worship than a way of life.
