The southern economy was dependent on agriculture. The plantation owners used slaves to get the work done more quickly and because they didn't have to pay slaves because they are slaves. It did decline somewhat because cotton(the main staple product in the south) has seeds but picking them by hand was too slow and then the cotton would lose its value. Then slavery increased because an inventor named Eli Whitney made the cotton gin, a machine used to pick cotton seeds. Eli Whitney hoped his machine would help slavery decline but the opposite had happened. Since the cotton could have the seeds picked faster they needed more people to plant and harvest the cotton A.K.A. slaves.
Slavery grew increasingly in the southern United States due to the region's reliance on agriculture, notably cotton, which required large amounts of cheap labor. The fertile soil and longer growing seasons in the South made it profitable for plantation owners to use slaves for cultivation. Additionally, as the North began to industrialize and move away from slave labor, the South doubled down on its reliance on slavery to maintain its economic dominance.
Enslaved people ran away to escape the brutal conditions of slavery, seek freedom, and reunite with their families. They risked severe punishment, including death, by attempting to escape.
Some methods used by females to resist slavery include running away, feigning illness or pregnancy to avoid work, organizing and participating in slave revolts, and forming networks of mutual support with other enslaved women. These actions allowed them to assert some control over their own lives and resist the conditions of slavery.
Slavery involves the brutal exploitation and dehumanization of individuals, denying them their basic human rights and autonomy. It perpetuates systemic inequalities, fosters discrimination, and damages both individuals and society as a whole by promoting violence, oppression, and dehumanization.
Slavery was prevalent in the Philippines during the Spanish colonial period, but it was officially abolished in 1863. However, elements of forced labor and human trafficking continue to be issues in the country today, with modern-day slavery often linked to poverty, trafficking, and exploitation. Various laws and initiatives are in place to combat these practices and protect vulnerable populations.
Slavery spread in the South primarily due to the region's agrarian economy, which relied heavily on labor-intensive cash crops like cotton and tobacco. The invention of the cotton gin in the late 18th century significantly increased the profitability of cotton farming, leading to a greater demand for enslaved labor. Additionally, the South's social and political structures were deeply intertwined with slavery, fostering a culture that defended and perpetuated the institution. These factors combined to ensure that slavery expanded rather than faded away in the southern United States.
Slavery.
The south wanted to do this because they liked slavery and the union didn't. The south then decided to brake away from the north.
Most citizens of the American West were relatively ambivalent about the issue, but since much of the West was too far North to have massive cotton plantations, the West did not have many slaves. As a result, they did not fight to prevent anti-slavery or pro-slavery laws and typically served as a mediating influence between the North and the South.
Probably to get away from slavery, as there was lots of black slaves in the south.
Slavery during the Civil War in the United States was prominent in the Southern. The Confederate states in the South were in favor of slavery while the Union states in the North were opposed to slavery.
Because the south's belief/outlook on slavery clashed with the belief/outlook of the north.
they didn't want to do away with slavery Lincons on mouth in one of his speaches said that if he could bring the South back into the union he would not do away with salavery
