Why did Beecher compare intemperance to slavery and the slave trade?

History

Lyman talks about intemperance as something that is to be fought off. It mentions it as something terrible that ruins families and that we should execrate just as we execrate the cruelties of slave trade.
It isn't really a comparison. It more of an appeal to see one as a horrible thing just like we see the other.

In his own words:

"We execrate the cruelties of the slave trade—the husband torn from the bosom of his wife—the son from his father—brothers and sisters separated forever—whole families in a moment ruined! But are there no similar enormities to be witnessed in the United States? None indeed perpetrated by the bayonet—but many, very many, perpetrated by intemperance."

When the Constitution first became law in 1788,
S_A_V [24]

The correct answer is B. When the Constitution first became law in 1788, New York and Virginia had not ratified it.

Only nine states were required to ratify the Constitution for it to come into force.

After arduous struggles for ratification in several states, New Hampshire became the ninth state on June 2, 1788. Once the Congress of the Confederation received news of the ratification of New Hampshire, it established dates for the Constitution to enter in force.

Virginia ratified it 4 days later, on June 25; while New York did it on July 26, just over a month after it became law.
