History

Kamila [148]3 years ago
5 0
Britain was up to its shoulders in debt from war. The King and Parliament believed they had the right to tax the colonies. They decided to require several kinds of taxes from the colonists, to help pay for the French and Indian War. The colonists started to resist by boycotting, or not buying, British goods. They also rioted so to speak, they would tar and feather officials, dump tea into the ocean and eventually go to war with their motherland.

1. Why would some Southerners support a pro-slavery government if they did not believe in slavery? *
Dovator [93]

Answer:

A.

Explanation:

In reality, I bet all the answers are at least partly correct.

But the reason (or excuse) that people often gave was that the voters (no black people of course!) of each state should decide if they wanted to allow slavery.

They called it 'Popular Sovereignty' and it was a twisted argument that we could use a democratic process (voting) to decide that a certain class of people would get no democracy at all, or even be recognized as having ANY rights, like the right to not be owned and murdered.

The main reason why many Americans thought they might be at a disadvantage in trading with China is because the Chinese had devalued their currency in order to make their products more appealing on the international market.
