Best Answer

Congress attempted to stop discussion on the slavery issue after they were flooded by over 100,000 petitions urging the abolition of slavery in the 1830's. In 1836, they passed a resolution that banned the discussion of these petitions and enforced the ban in 1839, 1841 and 1843. However, John Quincy Adams, who believed this was unfair, came up with creative methods of bringing the debate up on the floor anyway.

What is slavery like now?

Slavery, sadly, is still around today, and is thriving in many countries. Its no longer just African-Americans, but it is any tourist, any person, that can be sold into slavery, and may never be free again. Many slave-masters use fear as their greatest weapon to get new slaves, and more is being done to prevent this from happening.
