Antebellum Slavery: The Great North-South Divide

People in a country do not always consent to domestic policies; this is the case after the American Revolutionary War. When the so-called prewar era began, the United States was divided into North and South by many problems, but the majority of the economic problems came from expansion and slavery in the West. The northern abolished slavery, but the south insisted on slavery to grow cash crops, especially cotton. The south has slavery for religious and racial reasons and even insists that slavery is for the benefit of slavery.

Between 1819 and 1860, an important issue of division in the north and south was the extension of slavery in the western region. With the compromise of 1820, this problem was solved for nearly 30 years, purchasing in Louisiana banned the northern slavery, but slavery was allowed in the south. Seizure of new territory from Mexico has rekindled this problem. A compromise of 1850 tried to solve this problem, California is a free state, but admission that custody rights are killed in other places in Mexico is admitted. As part of a compromise, the enactment of the "Fugitive Slavery Law" exacerbated some tensions.

Slavery was common in the prewar America, but the African-American slaves of the 1830s were more severe and concentrated in the prosperous farmland in the South before the war (slavery during the Civil War). Unlike the northern part with free slavery, slavery in the southern provinces shows that all slaves are "privately owned animals in their hand, regardless of their intention, structure, purpose" I will. (History of African Americans) Black men can whip without reason. In order to entertain his master, he may be beaten, deprived, or subject to torture. A black woman can do sexual harassment, beating, beating, or raping at any time without a doubt. (Women's living in the farm - articles of slavery)
