Question

By 1850, it was obvious that the only way slaves could be freed was through war’ How far do you agree with this assertion?

Answer 1

in my opinion, I agree with this assertion.

Step-by-step explanation:

Because slave labor was vital to the southern economy and to other places around the world, it became apparent that the south, with a already strained relation with the north, would ally with outside countries to protect its economy. However, classifying the war as a war to free slaves is redundant as political tensions more closely characterized hateful views between the north and south. So with already strained tensions between the north and south, it was unlikely that slaves could have been freed diplomatically.
