How did fear of slave uprising shape white southern attitudes toward slavery?

History
1 answer:
icang [17]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Most white Southerners, if directly questioned on the matter, would not have admitted that they held any fear of a slave insurrection. To have done so would have been to deny one of the central tenets of their way of life: that slaves were fundamentally docile and content beings who fully accepted the notion that they were the primary beneficiaries of the "peculiar institution." Southern newspapers, when they addressed rumors of impending slave uprisings at all, generally absolved slaves of responsibility for leading these conspiracies, instead accusing outside agitators—most commonly Northern abolitionists or free African Americans—of being responsible for stirring discontent. Yet the general hysteria that inevitably followed news of an actual attempted rebellion—or even vague rumors of such a plot—demonstrates the self-deception that lay at the heart of this reassuring claim, while private correspondence reveals the depth of concern felt by many Southerners over the slave population's potential to rise up in rebellion.

What is your opinion on the nation of Israel the land of Palestine and Jerusalem ?
Crank

Answer:

My opinion is that it is fair that the Jewish People have a place to claim as their own, that is also their ancestral land, since they have been an errand people since the times of the Roman Empire, who have been expelled from many countries, and who have been subject to discrimination and poor treament.

However, it would also be fair that the Palestian Arabs have a share of the land too, because they were dwelling those land for more than a millenium before the Jewish began to settle back. This is why the most reasonable policy for the area would be a two state solution: one state for the Jewish People, and one state for the Palestinian Arabs.
