Question

Use the image to answer the question.

This image shows a crowd in Boston protesting the return of an enslaved person to Virginia. What opinion did members of this crowd most likely share?
(1 point)
• They supported slavery in Virginia.
• They believed slavery should be expanded to the West.
They opposed slavery in Massachusetts.
• They believed all people should have equal rights.

Answer 1

Based on the image, the most likely opinion shared by members of this crowd is that they opposed slavery in Massachusetts.

Answer 2

• They believed all people should have equal rights.

If they just opposed slavery in Massachusetts, why would they object to sending the slave to Virginia? I think they opposed slavery anywhere.

Answer 3

Apologies for the confusion. You are correct. Based on the image, it is more likely that members of this crowd believed all people should have equal rights, which would include opposition to slavery regardless of location.

Answer 4

Well, they were about to fight a war about it, despite what Nikki Haley said.

Answer 5

Yes, you are right. The issue of slavery was one of the main factors that led to the American Civil War, indicating that there were significant tensions and disagreements regarding the institution of slavery in the United States.
