The paradox of President Jefferson tried to put an end to slavery. It was the best lens for the national tensions which then resulted in the bloodiest war to ever occur in American history.

Consider the arguments over the expansion of slavery made by both northerners and southerners in the aftermath of the U.S. victo
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

The election of 1848 did nothing to quell the controversy over whether slavery would advance into the Mexican Cession. Some slaveholders, like President Taylor, considered the question a moot point because the lands acquired from Mexico were far too dry for growing cotton and therefore, they thought, no slaveholder would want to move there. Other southerners, however, argued that the question was not whether slaveholders would want to move to the lands of the Mexican Cession, but whether they could and still retain control of their slave property. Denying them the right to freely relocate with their lawful property was, they maintained, unfair and unconstitutional. Northerners argued, just as fervidly, that because Mexico had abolished slavery, no slaves currently lived in the Mexican Cession, and to introduce slavery there would extend it to a new territory, thus furthering the institution and giving the Slave Power more control over the United States. The strong current of antislavery sentiment—that is, the desire to protect white labor—only increased the opposition to the expansion of slavery into the West.

Which is necessary for a society to be considered a civilization?
kaheart [24]
A civilization is considered to be a civilization when it has an established army and has created cities, so C and E. However, this is debatable. Why this is debatable is because all of the others can be argued for. But in my opinion they are not necessary. Many civilizations lacked good governmental leaders and were run by weak leaders (for a short time though), neither are extra food supplies necessary (a civilization can raid other civilizations and steal their food supplies) nor is an education system (they can borrow educated people from other civilizations). So I would argue that one needs only created cities where people of a civilization live and a standing army.

xeze [42]

The constitution gives American citizens the right to own guns in order to defend their property and family. Personally, I think it is outdated and no longer applies to modern day people. Definitely in need of gun reform.

How did new discoveries challenge old understandings of the human body?
garri49 [273]

They created the scientific method and busted their hypothesis on an organized way to test their ideas. Why was Copernicus's theory seen as radical? It wasn't in the way of Religious teachings and classical thinkers.
