Dear sir - you have been appointed an agent of the american anti-slavery society…

object is, the overthrow of american slavery, the most atrocious and oppressive system of bondage that has ever existed in any country. we expect to accomplish this, mainly by showing to the public slavery’s true character and legitimate fruits [real effects] contrariety [opposition] to the first american principles of religion, morals, and humanity, and its special inconsistency with our american democratic aims, as a free, humane, and enlightened people. in this way, by the force of truth, we expect to correct the common errors that prevail respecting slavery, and to produce a just public sentiment, which shall appeal both to the conscience and love of character, of our slave-holding fellow-citizens, and convince them that both their duty and their welfare require the immediate abolition of slavery… slavery is un-american.

based on this document, what was one argument the american anti-slavery society planned to use to promote abolition?

The main argument is that it is un-American to continue to promote slavery.

Explanation:

Written in the original Declaration of Independence and one of the causes of the War of Independence was the belief that all men are created equal. The people of America were denouncing a king’s right to rule as their birthright and aimed for each person to have the freedoms to allow them to prosper under their successes and not always remain subject to the British crown. This passage suggests that these values should apply to slaves at that time. Many who believed in the ideas behind the formation of the United States should also see the sense in abolishing slavery.

the answer is c sharecroppers were trapped in a cycle of poverty and debt.

explanation:

one of the major disadvantages of sharecropping system is that the sharecroppers or the planters are stucked in an unhealthy cycle of debts. this happens because planters will be allowed to loan merchandise from the land-owner and will soon be paid by the farmer in his share in the farm come harvest time. hope this !
