They were for slavery because of the finical gain. The labor they didn’t have to do and taxes. They were against slavery because they felt that the government couldn’t control the importation of slavery. The position that the Connecticut delegates and Mr. Heath in the Massachusetts debate took in the lead role of not participate in the slave trade. This was done by prohibiting the importation of slaves.
Lastly the Stamp Act made the colonists pay for everything in silver coins. This was fair because the British didn't have any representation over them. The colonists then made the saying "No taxation without representation" This meant that the colonists shouldn't be taxed without any representation. Since the British were in so much debt then they thought the least the colonists could do is help them pay it off. Why should the colonists keep helping the British after all they have done to them?

Just like these two there were many people who did not even like that there was a war in the first place but there was really no choice. Lincoln at one point did not even feel that he was capable enough of completely getting rid of slavery because he knew that it would cause problems in the future. He knew that abolishing slavery would turn the north and south against each other even more than it already had. (Pederson, Estell, & Kenneth, 1994). Just because he did not immediately take advantage of his position, probably do what any other would do today, and abolish slavery does not mean he supported it.
This was because for year they where use to being on their own and Britain taking no interest in what they do. Also they are so use to being left to their own devices. With this the American colonies are being made to pay much more tax, this as I said is not liked as the British are making huge changes all of a sudden. The American colonies thought that the British where making their lives much harder that it was already. Some of the measures that the British government brought in might have over stepped the boundaries and this will also upset the colonist.
John Hughes and Benjamin Franklin came up with the Stamp Act which many people did not like. (DOC G) John Hughes was beggining to run the government down into nothing. Which would cause more taxes for the Americans and whatnot. The Americans would really begin to not like John Hughes and want to separate from Britian even more. So these were some of the reasons tt the American colones separated from the British.
Jefferson knew that American farmers needed more land, and he had to go against his belief of a strict constitution. However during the same time the Federalists became strict constructionists of the constitution. They argued that this transfer of land was unconstitutional. The Federalists said that this new land was worthless and would only put the country even more in debt. Their main reason for that was that the creation of new states would decrease their power in congress.
That is why he wanted the slaves to be freed and removed from the United States all together. He feared of a revolt by them for all the cruel things that were done to them. Thomas Jefferson didn’t hold the views he felt for one group for the other. The African Americans who were brought to America to be slaves that they forced to live how they wanted them to could not coexist with them but the Native Americans who had their own society and their own way of life they could be civil with. I thought that they wanted to preserve the republican society by molding republican machines.
Dickinson believes that America should be forced to pay the tax. He is angry they’ve gotten away with it for as long as they have. He wants them to pay and he wants them to continue following Britain rule. The two men are complete opposites on their views and
They believed that they were fellow brothers, but were instead ignored and harassed by white men for their own benefit. Slaves also pointed out how slavery was just an excuse for the South to continue their economic enterprise, because they needed as much labor as possible which the blacks were indeed “to be sold like beast[s] of burden” by them. There would be no other reason why the slaves would be necessary as it only existed for the greed of the white men who enjoyed profit. Within the same petition, it also addressed a religious contention that the white men are hypocritical in their faith in God. The slaves questioned why if all men were created equally
