Answer:

It means that slavery is a tyrannical system.

Explanation:

This sentence was written by Jean-Jacques Rousseau and was aimed at explaining slavery as something tyrannical and suffocating, which does not allow the responsibility and the rights of each man over himself, because it makes some men have too much power over others, while other men have no alternative but to completely obey the powerful, losing their freedom, autonomy and responsibility over themselves and their own actions.

hram777 [196]

<em><u>General William T. Sherman's "March to the Sea" was important to the Union war effort because important railroad tracks were destroyed, severing supply lines for Confederate forces. </u></em>

<u>Further Explanation:- </u>

Between the period of November 15 to December 21 in the year 1864, Union general William T. Sherman led around 60,000 soldiers to a march which was 285 miles long which begun from Atlanta and ended in Savannah in Georgia. The idea behind this march was to frighten the population of Georgia as they wanted people of Georgia to abandon the confederate cause. The soldiers from Sherman’s army did not destroy any of the towns which came in their way to Georgia but instead, they stole food as well as livestock of the people and burned their houses and also killed people who tried to fight back. The military which was led by German Sherman captured Atlanta and that was considered an important win for their movement as during that period of time Atlanta was considered as a Railroad hub along with that it was known as an industrial center. Sherman believed that the railroads of Atlanta provided material and support to the Confederate troops and in order to stop this supply his army destroyed railroad lines.
