Our states had numerous presidents over the years, some better than others.
Unfortunately, the north had no other option but to accept it as a reality in the southern states.
The needs of the southern economy were important and this is why there was not such a thing as an “anti-slavery” clause in the Constitution.Freedom for all remained just a dream until President Lincoln came into the scene and he issued the Emancipation Proclamation that freed all slaves in all territories.
At that time, they had to focus on what mattered the most to them and that was to separate from Britain and to form our own country.It is important to know that:• The British imposed huge taxes on the colonies• The colonists had no legal representation in the British Parliament• The North was affected by the increase of the taxes more than the South for it depended more on trade• The Revolutionary War began in 1776• The southern states agreed to participate in the Revolution only if they kept their slaves• The northern colonies had no other choice but to accept this• The Constitution was ratified in 1788 and it became the document that controlled the Country in 1789.Who Are the Top 5 Best Presidents?Our country has had numerous presidents over the years, some better than others; things have changed greatly from the Declaration of Independence in 1776.
