The two sides of the debate over slavery were divided between the two main sections of the United States; the North and South. Many Northerners viewed slavery as evil and wrong and some were involved in the abolitionist movement. The North did not obey fugitive slave laws because they said they were cruel and inhumane. No states in the North allowed slavery and the North and the abolitionists who lived there harbored fugitive slaves and helped them escape to Canada along the Underground Railroad. In the South, on the other hand, the people said that slavery was necessary to their way of life even though the majority of southerners did not even own slaves. Those who did own slaves, said slavery was good for the slaves because they were cared for in every way and given a job and that slavery was good for the slave owners because it allowed southern whites to achieve a high level of culture.
Some scientists think the first migrants to the Americas came by boat.
Some scientists think the first migrants to the Americas came by crossing a land bridge.
Most scientists believe the first migrants came to North America from Asia.
Explanation:
In the past century there has been a consensus about the migration of people to the Americas. It was commonly accepted that the first humans in the Americas came at the end of the last Ice Age. The hypothesis says that they came by a land bridge that existed between North America and Eurasia, and that their origin was from what is now Siberia, or rather from central and eastern North Asia. This has been and still is the most accepted hypothesis.
In the past couple of decades though the view on this hypothesis started to change. Lot of new evidence emerged that suggest that this hypothesis is flawed so more and more scientist are not supporting it.
There has been new sites where remains of human activities have been found and they predate what was suggested by tens of thousands of years. The genetic studies are suggesting that there are groups of people that originated from Polynesia and from Northern Europe. In Mesoamerica and in the Amazon there are multiple groups of people that have Polynesia genes, while some Native Americans in the eastern part of North America have European genes. This means that people migrated not just from Asia, but also from Northern Europe (by a boat or through a land bridge), and by a boat though the Pacific Ocean.

Marco Polo was deeply impressed by the East. As a european from the XIII century, he wasn't used to the sight of so much trade, luxury and comfort. He travelled through the whole Silk Road, but it was China, and especially its capital Beijing, what made the biggest impression on him. On this excerpt he describes the city as A large city with vibrant foreign trade.
