In the election of 1848, the Democrats chose a platform that remained silent on slavery. Nominee Lewis Cass was pro-slavery, so many anti-slavery Democrats walked out of the Baltimore convention to begin the Free Soil party.

Do you think Christianity would have developed in the same way if it had arisen in an area outside the roman empire?

It is unlikely that Christianity would have developed in the same way if it had arisen in an area outside the Roman Empire. Originally, the Christians were Jews who followed the Jewish Law and preached the teaching of Jesus to other Jews. The foundations of Christian theology were then laid by Paul of Tarsus, who said that salvation did not require following the Jewish laws. It required faith in Jesus as the saviour and this could free people form sin. Therefore, Paul made Christianity accessible to the gentiles (non-Jews) of the Roman Empire. The Christian churches and theology were developed by theologians and priest in various areas of the empire and was a Roman development. Had Christianity arisen outside the Roman Empire, it would have been developed by different people and would have been different.
