Answer:
Slaves were property
Explanation:
Slaves were essentially property, worth money and were used for extremely cheap labor. Killing the slave would essentially be purposely crashing your car. That is why slavers practiced cruel punishments such as beatings to discipline disobedient slaves.
The Treaty of Paris, ending the Spanish-American War, was signed on December 10. Spain gave up Guam, Puerto Rico, its possessions in the West Indies, and the Philippines in exchange for a U.S. payment of $20 million. The United States occupied Cuba but, as provided for in the Teller Amendment, did not try to annex it.
The actions of the British that led to the War of 1812 were:
- restrictions on US trade
- forcing American sailors to join the British Navy
In the first decade of the 19th century, Britain was at war with France but both countries continued to trade with the U.S. and this led to tensions.
War eventually broke out between the British and the U.S. because:
- the British were blockading France and refusing to allow the Americans to trade with them
- the British were capturing American sailors and using them to man Royal Navy ships
- the U.S. wanted to expand into Canada and saw this as an excuse to do so
In conclusion, the War of 1812 would not have happened if the British were not restricting U.S. trade and forcing American sailors into the Royal Navy.
