How did southern slaveholders claim the north benefited from slavery?

They pointed out that the North's textile industry depended on southern cotton Well, they didn't really. Northern states didn't really have slavery much at all. Though they did want more political and military power than the south, so they started the civil war. The civil war actually really wasn't just all about freeing the slaves. Actually, freeing the slaves may have been the last thing on their minds.


What were the challenges posed to white Southerners white Northerners and African Americans by the outcome of the Dred Scott Decision?

White Southerners were delighted - it meant that slavery was legal in every state of the Union. Those white Northerners who were Abolitionists were horrified, on account of the same verdict. Other white Northerners were simply alarmed that it was driving the two sides further apart, and bringing war closer. African-Americans were, of course, not being consulted much. Some of them may have wondered why Scott did not claim his freedom earlier, when it would have been granted automatically.


What were the arguments Southerners used to claim that they had the right to secede?

1. The federal government of the United States did not have the right to impose an anti-slavery law. Whether a state wanted to allow or disallow slavery should be decided by the state - not the federal government.2. The states had created the union by voluntarily agreeing to join and create the United States. The states could just as easily nullify their agreement.3. The imposition of tariffs on goods imported from England were aimed at protecting Northern manufacturers.

Why does Abraham Lincoln claim that southerners have nothing to worry about concerning his election?

Lincoln was not an abolitionist. He believed the US Constitution allowed slavery. It would be a long time before 3/4 of the states could ratify an amendment to outlaw it and some means could no doubt be worked out to end it voluntarily before that would happen.
