MPs

The main reason it took so long to abolish the slave trade was simply because the pro-slave trade lobby had too many important and powerful figures in the establishment. The plantation owners, the merchants and those living in Britain, some of them MP’s, were well organised, as well as being powerful and wealthy enough to bribe other MPs to support them.

Prime Minister William Pitt

The Prime Minister William Pitt had been a supporter of abolition, but the war with France changed his views. During the war he did not want to upset the cabinet ministers that were mostly against abolition. Therefore he withdrew his support for the abolitionists. Additionally the events in St Domingue convinced Pitt that to abolish slavery would be a disaster.

King George III

King George III was against the abolition movement, as was his son, the Duke of Clarence. Support for abolition in Parliament was now restricted to the committed few.

1806 Change of government

The new Prime Minister, Lord Grenville actively promoted fellow abolitionists to cabinet. More MPs had committed themselves to abolition during the 1805 election campaign.

1806 Parliamentary Bill

The Foreign Slave Trade Abolition Bill of 1806 represented a change of strategy. Rather than have Wilberforce represent yet another straightforward abolition bill, the parliamentary abolitionists secretly agreed to pretend to 'ignore' a Foreign Slave Trade Abolition Bill, which was instead sold as an anti-French measure to the House of Commons.

The Bill was designed to prevent British merchants from importing slaves into the territories of foreign powers.

It was only on the third reading of the Bill, that the pro-slavery lobby realised what was really at stake behind the Bill. It would have been difficult to oppose it because the Government presented it as a way to win the Napoleonic war.

How did the growing wave of immigration affect the rise of political machines? Political bosses gave little help to newly arrive
LuckyWell [14K]

The answer is: Political bosses expanded their power by helping immigrants in return for their loyalty.

At that time, many of the political bosses realized that if they somehow can help the immigrants obtain their citizenship, the immigrants will become much more likely to return their favor.

This mean that they can influence the immigrants to vote for them during the election in exchange for the citizenship. This help the political bosses expanded their power.

lys-0071 [83]
The correct answers are
<span>B. Most Southern communities refused to integrate schools.
C. Some communities closed their schools rather than integrate.

A is incorrect because it took as much as 10 years for all schools to start integrating. The southern communities were so angry that many closed schools before they would let African-Americans educate themselves. Some still opposed it but eventually had to end the practice.</span>
