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

History

Naddik [55]2 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.

19. What is the plan of Tecumseh and the
mamaluj [8]

Explanation:

Tecumseh's plan was to unite all the Indians and oppose forced relocation by the Americans. Tecumseh got as far as to start building a settlement for Indians and started uniting the Indians with the help of his brother, the Prophet. However, he was stopped when General Harrison and his troops destroyed Prophetstown (the settlement for the Indians) and defeated Tecumseh's band of warriors. Tecumseh eventually died in a military camp.

The significance of the battle of Tippecanoe is that it was the end of his dream of a Native American Confederacy.
