Question

Why was the New England area split with their opinions on the future of slavery?

Answer 1

Answer: Politics in some parts of the colonies oscillated, and social movements that opposed slavery emerged.

Explanation:

It is essential to point out at the outset that the slave policy in the South and North was different. The south was entirely dependent on the slave labour, while in the north the slaves were in somewhat better conditions. However, when we talk about the north of More specifically New England, there were some oscillations in the colony. New England freed more and more slaves from year to year, primarily because of the fact that they were involved in the war. The colonial government in Rhode Island, which is an integral part of New England, sought to maintain a somewhat more rigid position on slaves, but all went towards freeing these people. Specific religious-social movements also emerged, which, by invoking moral principles, sought to eliminate slavery.
