COMPILED BY ASAD SAAD & KIRAN SAEED CIVIL WAR 1861 TO 1865 SOCIAL CAUSE (WHY) SLAVERY VS ANTI - SLAVERY:
SLAVERY (SOUTH USA):
According to slaves, this is only state issue not a central issue. According to slavery, religion (bible) allow to take care and good behavior with slavery. Family orientation good of slaveries as compare to black Africans. According to them, industrials looks like free for movement but they all are in bad situation as compare to slaves. ANTI – SLAVERY (NORTH USA): According to Anti-Slaves this issue not a state issue, this issue has moral issue, because the ideology of Americanism belongs to following thinks: Every person have own life with freedom. Liberty of every person. Pursuit of hope of every person. This all things did not given to slaves, due to this they against slavery. According to them, moral grounds of slavery has totally wrong and give freedom to every slaves. ECONOMY CAUSE (WHY) In the South United States of America, Agriculture was a main economically activity, for agriculture need man power and they resolve their man power from slaves. Due to this issue they support slavery. In the North Unlisted States of America, Industries was a main economic activity, and they don’t need huge amount of main power, due to this they don’t support slavery. COMPILED BY ASAD SAAD & KIRAN SAEED 1793 – AL WHITNEY: In 1793, at South United States of America, a man called Al- Whitney, he developed a machine known as Winnowing machine for separate seeds from cotton. Due to this machine man power low, time reduce and production increase. South Economic activity increased after cotton production increase due to winnowing machine and they said cotton is king, because they developed their economy through cotton. When south economic activity increased and they strong by economically, due to this north offended with south because north do production of cotton after purchasing from south, due to this their productivity of cotton too much low`. POLITICAL CAUSE (WHY) Slaves was at South United States of America and they want state government. Ant-Slaves was at North United States Of America and they want Central government. Slaves did not rights of freedom, speech rights, movement rights and they have no any voting rights due to this they all are known as conservative society as compare to north and slaves have no any citizenship. Anti – Slaves gives all rights to common man except voting because voting writes only has white man not a black man or women due to freedom liberal societies developed.
