Slavery / History Question ?
Are you kidding me? Slavery has been an institution almost as long as humanity itself. It was just carried over from the old world. People seem to look at the Americans as "bad guys" for having slavery, but refuse to look at the rest of the world on the issue. The evolution of thought, philosophy and role of man in this world would aid in the slavery debates and controversy. When slavery was outlawed, most of the country was not anti-slavery. They wanted slavery in the south for economic reasons. Not for "ideological" reasons. The south was a agricultural area and slavery is more beneficial to that, than in industrialized North. So that is why slavery was a more prominent desire in the south.
History of slavery, opinion question.?
Questions like this are designed to force you to do some critical thinking, which is an important ability to develop in life. You may go to your grave without ever using many things you're taught in school, but developing the ability to actually process information, and rationally form/support opinions/arguments will always be valuable. Being spoon-fed an argument isn't going to help you much in that area. Consider the pros and cons of Ruffin's arguments. What were the difficulties faced by free workers and how it weigh against the difficulties of slaves? What is the line between slavery and being "free" but suffering poor working conditions and having few other options to survive/provide for one's family? If you disagree with Ruffin but think that he has he has one valid point, what is it about slavery that overrides that point and still makes the institute of slavery unacceptable? Support your argument with something more substantive than "slavery is just wrong," and challenge your own arguments (ask yourself what Ruffin might say to rebut your arguments). Good luck.

Quick history question about slaves, help?
There was a rebellion In Virginia in 1831 led by a slave named Nat Turner. You can check Wikipedia or google Nat Turner or Slave rebellions. The Underground Railroad is a great subject, and there is probably information available, but was not so much a "revolt' as an escape. And it was an ongoing thing, not a single incident. There were a lot of good people involved, Black and White, but it depends on what exactly your teacher wants whether it is a good subject or not.

What would the history of the United States have been like if slavery was abolished in 1776?
The economy of the USA would have expanded to much greater size at any point in time, all throughout its history.All of those millions of hours of wage-free slavery and the resulting grossly under-priced raw cotton produced by it, would have been replaced with pay envelopes for PAID labor, and a raw cotton product to be priced higher, reflecting those wages.The feel of cotton fabric on the skin, as compared to wool, would still have created the same huge, implacable demand for raw cotton all over the world, with or without slavery.The effect caused by millions of plantation wage-earners with a pay-envelope, who thus could BUY STUFF, from others, who now also could BUY STUFF from others, etc, etc. would have been exponential economic expansion.The South would have been an economic powerhouse, with the plantation owners developing into Billionaires rather than the millionaires they were under slavery. The economy today in the whole USA would have grown to ten times larger than it is now.That stupid war was so outrageously expensive, in so may ways….
