Explanation: This was a quote said by Abraham Lincoln in response to his debate with Stephen A. Douglas in 1858. Lincoln is saying that African Americans should be equal to the citizens of the United States. Since they were brought over to the U.S, they should have all the rights and freedoms that the Declaration of Independence implies. Slavery was still an issue in the South, which is why they were debating about the topic.]]> 2019-03-05 18:57:41 UTC https://padlet.com/delaney_hanna/q17lqrzqjap5/wish/338078878 delaney_hanna https://padlet.com/delaney_hanna/q17lqrzqjap5/wish/338085971  "Government, by which the people of this Commonwealth have solemnly bound themselves, sets out with declaring that all men are born free and equal—and that every subject is entitled to liberty, and to have it guarded by the laws, as well as life and property—and in short is totally repugnant to the idea of being born slaves."

Explanation: This quote was from the court case of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts  v. Nathaniel Jennison. Jennison was a white male who was arrested on charges of assault and battery on black male Quock Walker. The court compared the slave trade to the trade of cattle and horses, and how they treat them as suchThe Commonwealth basically declared that without regards to race, sex, or religion that everyone was born free and equal. This was the day that slavery in Massachusetts was completely abolished. ]]> 2019-03-05 19:09:44 UTC https://padlet.com/delaney_hanna/q17lqrzqjap5/wish/338085971 delaney_hanna https://padlet.com/delaney_hanna/q17lqrzqjap5/wish/338215939 2019-03-06 02:37:00 UTC https://padlet.com/delaney_hanna/q17lqrzqjap5/wish/338215939 delaney_hanna https://padlet.com/delaney_hanna/q17lqrzqjap5/wish/339452532 2019-03-08 19:32:32 UTC https://padlet.com/delaney_hanna/q17lqrzqjap5/wish/339452532 delaney_hanna https://padlet.com/delaney_hanna/q17lqrzqjap5/wish/339452555 2019-03-08 19:32:37 UTC https://padlet.com/delaney_hanna/q17lqrzqjap5/wish/339452555 delaney_hanna https://padlet.com/delaney_hanna/q17lqrzqjap5/wish/339732716 2019-03-10 20:24:34 UTC https://padlet.com/delaney_hanna/q17lqrzqjap5/wish/339732716
