How did Southerners defend the institution of slavery in response to abolitionism?
Q. Also how come the abolitionist movement came about in America? Why did people suddenly begin to think that slavery should not be permitted? And in their defense of slavery, why were their reasons unable to keep the institution alive in the United States? (This is from the period prior to the Civil War, or the 19th century up to the war.)

This is from a speech given by Thomas Drew in defense of slavery..."Every one acquainted with Southern slaves knows that the slave rejoices in the elevation and prosperity of his master; and the heart of no one is more gladdened at the successful debut of the young master or miss on the great theater of the world than that of either the young slave who has grown up with them and shared in all their sports, and even partaken of all their delicacies, or the aged one who has looked on and watched them from birth to manhood, with the kindest and most affectionate solicitude, and has ever met from them all the kind treatment and generous sympathies of feeling, tender hearts . . .

Q. The Republican Party was first associated with northern interests and abolitionism. Because of this association, how did the South view the election of Abraham Lincoln as President? with mixed feelings since Lincoln was not well-known in the South. with fear that he might attempt to destroy slavery and other Southern institutions as the best choice since he stated he was no abolitionist and would not do away with slavery in the Southern states. with indifference since Congress was dominated by Democrats and would check any of Lincoln s attempts against the South.

A. In the very early days, all states had slavery. In the South they were used on agricultural plantations but in the north farming was done on a smaller scale so most black slaves were personal and household servants. In the late 1700s a slave woman named Mum Bett (later Elizabeth Freeman) brought a suit against the govt. of Massachusetts. She pointed to the new constitution of Massachusetts which began with the statement that all people are born free and equal, and have the same unalienable rights. The suit resulted in slavery being abolished in Massachussets and, in a few years, in all the northern states. Elizabeth Freeman's story is really a fascinating one. You can read about it by Googling that name. Anyway, it was from this… [cont.]

Q. They didn't have to win- just the first candidate to run on a platform denouncing slavery I know Joseph Smith Jr ran in 1844 on an anti-slavery platform- but there had to be some before that James G. Birney in 1840? That may be it-- good answer! any earlier than that?

A. I think that would be the anti-slavery Free Soil Party, who had nominated former President Martin Van Buren as their candidate in 1848. "The Free Soil Party was a short-lived political party in the United States active in the 1848 and 1852 presidential elections, and in some state elections. It was a breakaway faction of the Democratic Party and was largely absorbed by the Republican Party in 1854. Its main purpose was opposing the expansion of slavery into the territories, arguing that free men on free soil comprised a morally and economically superior system to slavery. The free soilers were against the expansion of slavery but not the idea of slavery; their goal was to gain the land to the west, and keep the land free of slaves." -… [cont.]

A. This sentence isn't *in* the passive voice. "Someone who agreed with the views of abolitionism and protested slavery was called an abolitionist," would be passive voice. Your sentence is a main clause with a relative clause ("who...slavery"). The main clause is "An abolitionist was someone." That's active voice, the same way "An apple is juicy," is active voice.

A. The term "miscegenation" has been used to refer to interracial marriage and interracial sex, and more generally to the global process of racial admixture that has taken place since the Age of Discoveries, particularly through the European colonization of the Americas and the Atlantic slave trade. Historically the term has been used in the context of laws banning interracial marriage and sex, so-called anti-miscegenation laws. It is therefore a loaded word and is considered offensive by many. Today, the word miscegenation is avoided by many scholars, because the term suggests a distinct biological phenomenon, rather than a categorization imposed on certain relationships.
