"CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE"

"CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE"

BY;HENY DAVID THOREAU


Practically speaking, the opponents to a reform in Massachusetts are not a hundred thousand politicians at the South, but a hundred thousand merchants and farmers here, who are more interested in commerce and agriculture than they are in humanity, and are not prepared to do justice to the slave and to Mexico, cost what it may.

What Mr. Henery is illustrating that the southerners main focus is on agriculture and the process of buying and selling with the force of labor of slaves and the harsh treatment towards Mexico.  Humanity and what it stands or is not moral.

my interpretation is that we live in a very hypocritical world where even though slavery is abolish,  the system in this country system is still segregated.  Minority and the treatment is still unacceptable. I agree that " civil disobedience" is not an implementations promoting violence but to advocate for what we as a community believes to be unjust and to represent the voice of the unheard, which in many cases are the minorities.

FEDERALISM

 

The Seventh Of March Speech

 

Daniel Webster

 

 

 "That separation was brought about by differences of opinion upon this particular subject of slavery. I felt great concern, as that dispute went on, about the result. I was in hopes that the difference of opinion might be adjusted, because I looked upon that religious denomination as one of the great props of religion and morals throughou;t the whole country, from Maine to Georgia, and westward to our utmost boundary.

 

Mr. Webster wanted to implement a vicious act that with captured runaway slave.  He felt strongly with his view that other didn't support.  He felt strongly for the right and ownership of slave an entitlement that if they run they were strip away for a free trail.  That any government that didn't comply with this act will be fine.

 

In my word Mr.Webster is entitle to a freedom of speech but I strongly disagree with his proposal.  No government, institution or individuals are entitle to keep people of opposite race in captivity and to strip away their freedom because one  feel like your race is superior than the other.  As American everyone should be entitle to live their lives without being segregated or judge because of their race, social mobility, level of education or their financial status.
