Question

2- When the founding fathers are discussing “freedom for all men,” what are they saying? Are they aware of their contradictions? Why do they not address slavery in the constitution? And do you think that this is fair? Why or Why not?

3- How do you think the Fugitive Slave Act of 1793 affected the balance of power in the 1800s eventually leading to the Civil War? (

Answer 1

They are saying that all men have rights. In those times cotton and tobacco were huge money makers and they needed slaves to tend the crops. And no, it was not fair. They created the “all men are created equal” for themselves but they did not even apply it to other people’s lives just to make money. By making this law it firmly stated were the upper United States sat on the issue of slavery and it created tension that contributed to the civil war. Hope this helps. Please Like this answer.
