That could go both ways, maybe they didnt own a plantation or have use for a slave. But they still could support it. Or, they could be completely against it, and think its completely wrong and dehumanizing, they could help runaway slaves get to the north.
It shows that the war resulted in a new illusion of omnipotence."In April 1917 the illusion of isolation was destroyed, America came to the end of innocence, and of the exuberant freedom of bachelor independence. That the responsibilities of world power have not made us happier is no surprise. To help ourselves manage them, we have replaced the illusion of isolation with a new illusion of omnipotence" Barbara Tuchman
There are two different types of muslims: the sunni muslims and the shiite muslims. the source of conflict that these two muslim groups disagree on is the prophet muhammad’s sucession. the shiites believe that the prophet muhammad should have been succeeded by his son-in-law, while the sunnis believe that the leadership of the muslims should be passed down via hereditary succession.
hope this helps! :)
