The correct answer is A) the tendency among Southern slaveholders to justify slavery as a positive good.
The cartoon demonstrates the tendency among Southern slaveholders to justify slavery as a positive good.
The political cartoon titled "Slavery as It Exists in America. Slavery as It Exists in England” was a political cartoon of 1850 that shows a satiric example of how slavery "was good" in the southern states of the United States. The cartoon compares slavery in America with the waged slavery system that existed in Great Britain. The first part of the cartoon examines the Northern abolitionist perspective of slavery, favorably comparing it with the economic situation of African American slaves and the harsh economic conditions that people in England lived due to industrialization.
