    He definitely saw himself in that same vein as Jefferson, and he was attempting to bring the U.S. back to the Jeffersonian yeoman farmer ideal, just in an industrialization context, so instead of a few big corporations the U.S. should be a country of small business owners and farmers.

    @@apushsimplified1981 Brandeis (his advisor) was a Jeffersonian who believed that bigness in government was as dangerous as bigness in business. This seems like more of a conservative position. Was Wilson seen as the conservative in the sense of an emphasis on federalism and limited government?

    My thesis stated that slavery impacted American society because it caused many people to go against it on moral and legal ground, while at the same time many people continued to find other reasons to justify it. Would my thesis relate to social impact as it talks about how it altered the way people thought? Also, I used the founding of the Pennsylvania Abolitionist Society as outside evidence as they opposed slavery on moral grounds, so would this work?

    Hi, I am not too confident on my sourcing for the dbq. I used doc 4 and showed how the fact that it was a church leader in south carolina showed the sectional divide between the north and the south and how religion impacted it. Along with this, I also talked about the last source, which was an anti-slavery almanac and explained how the fact that it was an almanac likely meant that it spread rapidly in the north and perpetuated the abolition movement. Would these two likely work?

    The Liberator possibly works, it needed to not be associated with the Garrison doc as that was his publication. If it was close with the Garrison doc a reader might give context /sourcing for that doc instead of outside evidence. Cotton works that's from the time period.

    For my essay I used all the documents splitting them up into political, religious and economic impacts: Historical Context: I’ll be real I started from the beginning with historical context it was pretty long, cause I went into the Colombian exchange, why Africans were brought to the New World for Slavery, so I hope that’s ok cause I don’t remember writing as much that was close to the time period. Political: Talked about the differing perspectives of Abolitionist and Pro-Slave groups, would have added the Free-Soil perspective if I remember but it is what it is. Commented on the use of Enlightenment ideas by Abolitionist along with the Declaration of Independence. Connected this to how this split led to the Civil War and a greater political split between the southern and northern states for years to come. (Used Doc 1, Doc 2, Doc 3). Religious: Talked about how Pro-Slavery groups would use religion and specifically the Bible to justify their actions but also included how religion was often times a sense of hope for enslaved people. I used this to bring up the conversation of how religion was beginning to be further dismissed by intellects in replace for enlightenment ideas. Thinking back on thing I wish I had taken a little time to explain why this has had great impact on United States society (Used Doc 4, 6) Economics: Talked about the South reliance on slavery for its agricultural production and how people in the North also benefitted from providing said slaves through trade. Within in my frantic writing I mentioned how the North would return the enslaved to their enslavers and used the Underground Railroad as outside evidence (Doc 5,7). When I checked over my work it seemed that I hit most the boxes, what do you think?

    I talked about in my contextualization how initially native Americans were used, but after smallpox killed most, a shift to indentured servants was seen with the headright system. I then led onto bacons rebellion and talked about the adoption of slavery, and then the American revolution in which a new nation was born, confused on how to handle the institution of slavery given its liberty oriented background. I then said it impacted society somewhat, and used docs 1&2 for how it greatly impacted society because it was able to shape counter-slavery actions (like the questioning of laws and the 9month old slave sale and how free slaves represented the movement trying to stand up for oppressed slaves to bring a change) and I used docs 4 and 5 along with the fugitive slave act to explain how it did not impact society much (doc 4 detailing how even the bible was brought in to try and convince those favoring emancipation to return to "normalcy" and how the triangular trade still was going on shipping slaves). how does that sound?

Said that while slavery didn't really change the religious beliefs of individuals in American society, it impacted society through political legislation and the forming of social reform groups as well as African Americans recording their experience, sparking outrage and increasing sectionalism, which lead to the Civil War for my thesis.
