5. How did slaves in the American South attempt to resist the "burden of bondage"? They would work very slowly, and steal food and other things from their masters.
6. In what ways were slaves able to retain their culture and family structure under slavery? They managed to sustain family life in slavery because most slaves were raised in stable 2 parent households. They also named their children for grandparents or a forebear's master. They displayed their African cultural roots when they avoided marriage between first cousins, in contrast to the frequent intermarriage of close relatives among the ingrown planter aristocracy.

5. How did slaves in the American South attempt to resist the "burden of
bondage"? They would work very slowly, and steal food and other things
from their masters. This was the most common form of resistance. Much less common and much less effective was the slave rebellion, but it was still a form of resistance.

The South and Slavery
3. Why would non-slave owning whites fight so much for the continuation of the plantation slave system?
Because of their desperate hopes of one day owning a slave or two which would possibly move them up socially ranking wise. Also, they felt themselves to be racially superior to the blacks and if the slaves were freed, this superiority could be diminished some.

The South and Slavery
4. How were free blacks treated in the North and the South? In your opinion, in which region did free blacks have a better life? Why?
North: Some states did not allow them in and most states denied their right to vote, and most public schools did not allow them in either. They were hated by the Irish due to job competition for menial jobs.
South: Considered a "third race". They were prohibited from working certain occupations and forbidden from testiying against whites in courts. And there is also the continuous danger of being kidnapped back into slavery. Lastly, they were despsied by the defenders of slavery because they were examples of what might be acheived by the emancipation.
Opinion: I believe free blacks would have a better life in the North rather than the South, because although they might have been hated there more as individuals they still had a less likely chance of being brought back into slavery.

Forging the National Economy
3) How did the Industrial Revolution affect the regional identities of the North, South, and Western United States? What helped to bring about this change in each region?
The North became an area of industrialism and was dominated by textile factories. The assembly line helped make the work much more efficient. The factories relied on cotton that dominated the South. With the invention of the cotton gin, slaves were in high demand and it solidified the South's identity as a cotton based economy. The West was identified by farmland after the invention of the steel plow and McCormick's reaper, as they eased labor and pushed for expansion. With the Mississippi River supplying adequate transportation, the West fueled the South's cotton boom.
