Briefly explain what the Northwest Ordinance in 1787, Three-Fifths compromise(1787), Missouri Compromise(1820), Nullification Crisis(1832-1833), Wilmot Provise(1846), admission of Orgon as a state(1848), compromise of 1850, and Fugitive slave act of 1850 is about and its relationship to the slavery debates in the 1800s.
 
Most were to keep their stables intact. Having paid good money for their possessions, the owners were merely addressing their rights of ownership.
Blacks for the first couple hundred years were not considered humans. So many strange laws were in effect that today are strange. But to change the situations of those days would by revisions of History. Much like the Germans make no references to Hitler these days.
A huge war was fought over this subject, as you will recall from your history books. 370,000 White Union soldiers gave their lives to free the slaves, who were now being considered more human than their prior status of mere animals. Where are the memorials and recognition of these Whites for their sacrifice?
Is it more profitable for the black leaders to continually remind their audience of their slave background rather than the heroic sacrifices of the Civil War Whites?
