There were many reasons. For starters, the entire economy was based around slaves working on plantations of things like tobacco or for making gin. Without them the state would break down because they wouldn't have the free workforce that they had when they had slaves. Also, it would also help the northern states and abolitionists since there would be more non slave than slave states.
Chris McCandless is the main character of the book <em>Into the Wild</em> by John Krakauer.
In this book, we learn that McCandless is the product of his father's second marriage. However, McCandless also learns that his father had not yet divorced his first wife when McCandless and his sister were born. Therefore, the father led a double life. This realization profoundly affected McCandless. This knowledge made him felt betrayed and angry. To some extent, this sense of betrayal and anger explains why the choices in life of McCandless are so different from the choices his parents wanted him to make.
Answer:
Among the complaints about the Enlishmen that the author´s grandmother is:
- The habit of not taking a bath twice a day.
- That they ate in front of each other.
Explanation:
Ethnocentrism is when people disagree with the culture of other countries, so they have prejudices against people who come from that country. Usually, ethnocentrism is a faithful defense of one's own culture without taking into account what others think; for these people, there are only their values.
For example, we can see that the author's grandmother does not agree that Englishman do not bathe twice a day, and just thinking that they can not bathe is inconceivable to her. All this is because she has other values, customs, and criteria different from the Englishmen but can not accept that it is good to have differences, and this is a clear example of ethnocentrism.
