Question
1/consider what might have happened if Georgia and the Carolinas had stayed out of the union because of a desire to protect slavery. what would subsequent American history have been like? would the eventually freedom of the slaves have been delayed - or advanced?
2/ a result of the great compromised is that representation in the senate dramatically departs from the one-person, one-vote rule. the 38 million people who live in California elect two senators, as do the half- million people living in Wyoming. what political results might occur when the citizens of small states are much better represented than the citizens of large ones?
Explanation / Answer
1.Georgia and Carolina both were in favor of slavery and the African trade for buying slaves for working in their fields.Initially, these states would have been isolated from expansion: US to the north, Spanish Florida to the south and French territory to the west. Their economy was agricultural and their main customer was Britain. The US would not develop the industrial capacity to absorb the cotton for at least 50 years. Unable to expand and linked economically to the British Empire, these states would have had to rely more and more on Britain to protect what they had. They would likely have either rejoined the Empire as colonies or existed as some kind of British protectorate. They would have been forced to abolish slavery when the British did. The US would have found itself in a British pincer; the southern Atlantic states/colonies to the south and Canada to the north. The Louisiana Purchase might have started a war earlier than the War of 1812; a war that the US would likely have lost. The US might have been forcibly brought back into the Empire, a failed experiment. An alternative might be France aiding the US, but this would have left Napoleon without sufficient forces for his European adventures. The Napoleonic Wars might have been fought on North American rather than European soil. The Carolinas and Georgia basically followed Virginia's lead into the US. If the northern states had not compromised on slavery, none of the slave states would have ratified the Constitution.
