Was Anna Ella Carroll against slavery?

As to her own beliefs, Carroll vehemently opposed slavery. Prior to the war she had freed the slaves given her.But initially Carroll lobbied Lincoln against emancipation. To her such a dictate would "convert every Southern man into an enemy. . . ." Unionists would view such laws as changing the rationale of the war from being that of preservation of the Union to abolition and subjugation. She wrote Lincoln, regarding the Second Confiscation Act: . . . .for with the dread of emancipation and, the apprehension of insurrections from arming the slaves, it [suppression of the rebellion] will require a million of men, Mr. President, added to the numbers we have now in the field, instead of the 300,000, for which you have called. This is best explained in the book Great Necessities, The Life, Tinmes and Writtings of Anna Ella Carroll by C. Kay Larson.


Where was the Albany plan of union?

Before this proposal. the only existing government was individual forms of government that each colonial had established such as; the Mayflower Compact and House of Burgess. The Albany Plan would allow all colonials to function as one and it would dictate the taxes, colonial defense, and certain laws. The main significance is that this proposal was the first move toward unified government.


Why did the colonist have the right to prepare for the war againist the british?

From The Creator (God). They said so in the Declaration of Independence: We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain [George III] is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States.


Why do you think African slaves brought to the Americas to replace native and indentured servants?

Native Americans were the first to be enslaved in the United States, and the conditions of their enslavement were most times much worse than those of Africans which came later. The First African Slaves were brought here by the Wealthy Black Owner of a Slave Ship, who claims that most of the slaves were either purchased from their tribes and families or joined the trip freely, preferring slavery to the starvation, disease, and early deaths offered them if they stayed in Africa. Let us be clear about one thing, less than 20 percent of the Blacks brought here came from Africa, but rather than Africa most came from captured Island peoples from the tropics world wide. Those which did come from there, many times "Sold" themselves into "Indentured" slavery, as is still the common practice in many places in Africa and especially the Sudan, where people routinely sell themselves into slavery to benefit their tribes or their families or both. There were so called "Slaveholder Laws" which attempted to dictate what, how, when, and how much slaves were given to eat, made to work, saw a doctor, given clothing and shelter etc. but, none of these laws had been designed to ensure that more humanitarian treatment was applied to the Native American Slaves. They were often kept outside in any and all kinds of inclimate weather, in open pens like cattle, and not given food or water, but were expected to forage for it themselves or die, most of them, being that they were kept locked in open air pens, died, when not from starvation and overwork, then from the diseases that the whites were happy to impart to them without medicines to help them, so literally millions died from this cruel and inhuman treatment, but this was not why blacks were brought here. The Blacks were brought here, because their Black Slave Ship owner thought it good that they no longer would spend all there time running from certain death in the jaws of wild animals or early death due to lack of food and rampant disease, and it would turn him a rather handsome profit. This is about all I recall from the history studies we did on how Black Slaves got here....I am sure that there is more information available about the wealthy Black New York Socialite who owned and operated that first slave ship that landed in Virginia, but I am not in possession of that information at this time...hope this helped answer your question somewhat better than the "Cruise ship and Coca Cola" explanation which was found here before....thank you.
