In the town hall, I learned many interesting facts that were a huge takeaway from the topic that I’m learning about in my class. It surprised that some pro-slavery people would turn to supporting the abolishment of slavery during that time instead of sticking with their roots. Henry Clay started the movement of abolishing slavery while turning away from being a supporter of slavery himself who had slaves. Thomas Jefferson was one of those people too who had slaves then became against slavery.
I found it interesting that slavery was a way to help you to get more politics by using that practice to get more people to vote for that candidate. Also, not many states in the south didn’t need slavery as much as others because they were able to keep their economy flowing at well. I feel not all states don’t need slavery to support them that well, and can find other ways.
Many of the pro-slavery people thought that having slavery was a way of life and that everyone should have slaves on their plantations so they could be socially accepted. Not everyone needs slaves to fit in with people in the south. Mostly philanthropists helped the abolishments with donating money to their organizations. They wanted to end slavery by doing that with helping the promotion of the message of that across the country with that certainty.
All of the slave owners had so many slaves on their plantations that they had to build small cabins for them to live on the plantation. Jefferson did that for his slaves so that they can have a place to live and be safe for them.
