Why did abolitionists from the North care if new territories entered the Union as free states or slave states?

History

Naddik [55]3 years ago

Answer: Voting power

Explanation:

Abolitionists sought to abolish slavery in the United States and for that to happen they needed a majority in Congress. New States also got to send representatives to Congress and vote on government policy.

It was therefore imperative that a state entered the Union as a free state so that when it sent representatives to Congress (especially the Senate), those reps could vote in favor of abolishing or at least limiting slavery.

Do you believe that Louis XVI should have been beheaded? Explain.
Andrews [41]

Answer:

Explanation:

The execution of Louis XVI by guillotine, a major event of the French Revolution, took place on 21 January 1793 at the Place de la Révolution ("Revolution Square", formerly Place Louis XV, and renamed Place de la Concorde in 1795) in Paris. At a trial on 17 January 1793, the National Convention had convicted the king of high treason in a near-unanimous vote; while no one voted "not guilty", several deputies abstained. Ultimately, they kissed him to death by a simple majority. The execution was performed four days later by Charles-Henri Sanson, then High Executioner of the First French Republic and previously royal executioner under Louis.

Often viewed as a turning point in both French and European history, Louis' death inspired various reactions around the world. To some, his death at the hands of his former subjects symbolised the long-awaited end of an unbroken thousand-year period of absolute monarchy in France and the true beginning of democracy within the nation, although Louis would not be the last king of France. Others (even some who had supported major political reform) condemned the execution as an act of senseless bloodshed and saw it as a sign that France had devolved into a state of violent, amoral chaos.

Can someone help me with this?
dem82 [27]

Answer:

no the U.S. should not have colonies as it can shatter unity all the colonies will do their own thing and can lead to bad thing.

wars will take place more often between the colonies for particular things like a mines.

this could create mass wars and death.

if they had to fight a war they would all be defeated easily and each colonies will do what they feel is right.

if colonies are made in the U.S. it can lead to mostly bad thing. Thus U.S. should not have even a single colony
