THE SOUTH’S POINT OF VIEW THE NORTH’S POINT OF VIEW
Slaves grew lots of crops such as cotton, tobacco, and rice.
Slavery was profitable to the economy.
The goods an enslaved person produced brought in twice as much money as the cost of owning the slave.
Slaves were better off than factory workers. (bad conditions; long hours, little pay)
Abolitionists believed it was wrong for one human to own another.
Many slaves were mistreated.
Slaves did not have the same rights as a free white man.
No choices No control over who
bought them Beaten or abused Families were broken apart No control over their life Slave Codes – laws to control the
behavior of slaves
Refuse to obey or work Work slowly or pretend to be sick Broke tools that
were needed Learn to read or write

Nebraska and Kansas were located north of the Missouri Compromise line.
To be fair, they allowed the people living in each territory to vote to be a slave state or a free state.
People from other states rushed to settle in Kansas so that they could vote. Violence broke out!
