The author writes that the Declaration of Independence was “used to raise an army and protect a rebellion that had just barely begun.” Explain why the Declaration of Independence would be an effective tool in these efforts.

Slavery in the United States of America started in British North

America during the early colonial days of European settlement

on the continent. By 1800, a few northern states had abolished

(gotten rid of) slavery. Abolitionism continued to spread

throughout the North in the decades that followed. At the same

time, southern states saw a rapid expansion of the cotton

industry by using slaves as unpaid labor on cotton plantations.

By 1860, there were 15 slave states in the South. Four hundred

thousand families in these states had slaves in their households.

Southern states were threatening to leave the United States in

order to protect their growing cotton industry and retain the

ability to have slaves.
