Slaveholders felt that because slaves were considered property, Congress had no jurisdiction to ban them from introducing slaves into any region.

These abolitionists are the ones that helped free the majority of slaves and bring about a better america. Without the culture shock that was induced by this book the movement would most likely have been much smaller or in the worst case scenario have taken even longer to rise in popularity and therefore it would have taken longer for black Americans to receive their god given right to freedom.]]> 2022-11-01 20:19:02 UTC https://padlet.com/giovanniharoun2024/gs9hojxpzf8rd8a2/wish/2365576811
