Question

Describe how Lincoln contrasts "free labor” with slave labor

Answer 1

Answer:
Lincoln's contrast of free labour and slave labour is quite different as he did not base his argument on the fact that free labourers had the conset to work for a wage and slave labourer did not.
Explanation:
- Rather he argued that the difference was that among the free labourers there was hope to escape from the current condition to a better one whereas slave labourers lacked this kind of hope.
- It is not the consent that distinguishes free labour from slave labourers but rather the independence of choice the rise to own productive property and to work for oneself.
