They pushed for a separate colony in Africa for coloured freedmen, and they were one of the first abolitionist groups that were supported by many whites as well.
wow you cant answer ask us we have the answer whatever
Labor intensive crops like indigo, rice, hemp and tobacco in the days before tractors and other farm machinery required massive amounts of manpower to reap a profit. To obtain big profits the large landowners turned to slavery in preference to indentured servitude and Redemptionists as a labor supply.
Slavery was an issue during the construction and ratification of the US Constitution in 1789. By not having the Constitution abolish slavery, the States were left to decide to the slavery issue.The Dred Scott case never was asked if slavery was legal, but its full blown decision on Black citizenship and other matters related to slavery was a sad victory for all those Americans who were against slavery.
