Explain how it was possible that most Southerners did not own slaves but supported slavery. Explain why most Northerners disliked slavery but did not do much to end it before the Civil War.

Slavery, for the first time, became part of the trade and led at the beginning of the slave trade in America.

Explanation:

The economy of the South based on farming with the help of slaves.  The South maintained slavery as a part of the legal system, which benefited Southerners in generating wealth and holding a strong position in export. Many of the non-slaveholding Southerners also tied into the slavery system. Their commercial interests followed just like the planters. Poorer whites Southerner were legally and socially superior to slaves in society.

Northerners disliked slavery, as they consider it to be an illegal practice. They had a system of free labour, manufacturing industries built along with shipping. Slavery developed hand-in-hand with the founding of North and South, through the economic, political, and social system of the new nation. Some Northerners believed controlling than leaving them free on their will.

because everyone tends to get their feelings hurt if they don't agree with something someone is doing and vice versa. it's a major issue that needs to be dealt with, especially in the christian society. everyone thinks that christians hate gay people, because it is a sin, and christians "just hate everyone who sins and every one is going to hell for sinning"(saying that all in a sarcastic tone but i'm just going to go ahead and tell you why everything with that type of view on christians is wrong.

#1. christians do not hate gay people. and if they do, then that is their own personal problem. christians are not supposed to hate anyone. if you hate a neighbor (or any person basically), then that is as if you are hating jesus.

#2. being gay is in fact a sin according to the holy bible. it is in genesis. and no, the fact that it is a sin, does not mean that god hates you. he is grieved that a person is sinning against his word, but he still loves that person. in fact, christians are supposed to love everyone. we are supposed to love our enemies, but hate the sin they are doing. we love you and respect you, but we do not agree with every decision you make, is basically what i'm trying to say.

hope this you ! (:
