You know I dislike slavery; and you fully admit the abstract wrong of it. So far there is no cause of difference. But you say th

at sooner than yield your legal right to the slave— especially at the bidding of those who are not themselves interested, you would see the Union dissolved. I am not aware that any one is bidding you to yield that right; very certainly I am not. I leave that matter entirely to yourself. I also acknowledge your rights and my obligations, under the constitution, in regard to your slaves. I confess I hate to see the poor creatures hunted down, and caught, and carried back to their stripes, and unrewarded toils; but I bite my lip and keep quiet. In 1841 you and I had together a tedious low-water trip, on a Steam Boat from Louisville to St. Louis. You may remember, as I well do, that from Louisville to the mouth of the Ohio there were, on board, ten or a dozen slaves, shackled together with irons. That sight was a continual torment to me; and I see something like it every time I touch the Ohio, or any other slaveborder. It is hardly fair to you to assume, that I have no interest in a thing which has, and continually exercises, the power of making me miserable. You ought rather to appreciate how much the great body of the Northern people do crucify their feelings, in order to maintain their loyalty to the constitution and the Union
A.to persuade his friend to free his slaves
b.to state his position on the expansion of slavery
c.to convince the South to remain part of the Union
d.to explain to Mr. Speed that he is breaking the law

Why was a severe downturn in oil prices during the early '80s detrimental to the Soviet economy? It was an oil-exporting nation.
Artemon [7]

Answer:

It was an oil-exporting nation.

Explanation:

During the 1980s, the Soviet Union saw a severe downturn in oil prices. This, in turn, led to a decrease in production. Between 1988 and 1995, the oil production of the nation dropped by almost 50%. During this time period, oil was one of the main exports of the Soviet Union, which meant that these fluctuations in price greatly damaged its economy. Moreover, the damage to the economy weakened the nation, allowing for the change of regime to take place.
