Was slavery legal in all colonies for many years?
Yes it was... The north finally decided that slavery should be abolished finally since they did not use slaves. When Abraham Lincoln got elected that started the war.
What was the goal of the abolitionists in the 1800?
The goal of the abolitionists was to abolish (do away with) slavery as a legal institution in the US. The movement grew in the early 1800s partly as a result of the differing state laws. In the South, slavery was legal and supported labor-intensive agriculture. In the North, slavery was being phased out in favor of employing new immigrants, and agriculture was not the only economic activity.
When was slavery introduced?
Slavery in the US had been practiced for roughly a century before the Revolutionary War.ANSWER:The first evidence of slavery in the American Colonies, comes from sales records of the 1640's. The slaves were in the Chesapeake colonies.The first legal recognition of slavery was a Virginia statute in 1662, which said that the status of a newborn child depended on the status of the mother. If she was free, the child was free; if she was a slave, the child was a slave. This made slavery inheritable.
What were the two main issues resolved by the Civil War?
Although the Civil war wasn't started over slavery, that was the biggest issue that was resolved. The second one would be the fact that the South rejoined the North and the United States became one again.
Why was slavery one of the causes of the civil war?
Slavery was not the cause of the war. The war was about economics.
