Why did some southerners threaten to secede over California application for statehood?

History

maksim [4K]3 years ago
4 0
Some southerners threatened to secede over California's application for statehood during the middle of the 19th century because California would enter the US as a free state.

This means the state would not have slavery. Along with this, it would mean that there would be more representatives in Congress (aka the House of Representatives and the Senate) that are free states than slave states. This situation puts the southerners at risk, as the free states could make laws that would get rid of the institution of slavery. At this time, almost the entire south's economy depended on slavery.

What happened to segregation laws after the case of Plessy v. Ferguson? Segregation still existed, but only in very small towns
Artyom0805 [142]

The correct answer is: Segregation continued, and citizens experienced many more years of legal segregation.

Although, to be frank, segregation did more than continue. It thrived.

After Plessy, states and counties were given carte blanche to loosely define what "separate but equal" meant.
