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

History
1 answer:
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.

Explain how being able to analyze an author's purpose can be a useful skill for history students
Elena-2011 [213]
Everybody’s biased. If you can analyze the authors purpose when they were writing something, you’ll be more aware of this bias. As a history student, you need to acknowledge this bias when researching to ensure that what you are reading is factual and presents a reliable picture on what was going on during that period in time. It can provide insight or can be deceiving, based on the author’s purpose.
