Slaves were used to plant, grow, pick, bundle and ship out the cotton. They were used by the southern Cotton industry of the USA in order to get free labor. They worked during hot and cold days and nights and were treated very badly by their masters.

What was the relationship between slavery and sectional feeling and what was the relationship between slavery and other issues in the 1850s?

First of all their was not a relationship.... it was an institution. The feeling about this institution was both mixed and accepted. It probably was accepted because the Christian world did not speak out openly against it. And during this period of our American history, it was not clearly understood about the negative aspects, that was to come out of slavery. Slavery and the issues that it brought up were huge....... When something is institutionalized, it becomes a part of you. And slavery became a large part of the American foundation from the South to the North.
