What was McDuffle’s argument for slavery?

George McDuffie is a South Carolina governor on 1834 to 1836. On his 1835 speech regarding slavery and explained why slavery must not be ruled out in two points: (1) his racial argument is that African-Americans are born to be slaves because of their physical attributes which was evidently shown with their skins. He said that it is useless to gain power if you have an inferior skin; and (2) his religious argument is that God decided to make African-American slaves when he created them and that there is nothing they can do about it.

the end of the gilded age coincided with the panic of 1893, a deep depression, which lasted until 1897 and marked a major political realignment in the election of 1896. this productive but divisive era was followed by the progressive era.

roosevelt believed that in light of the country's recent military successes, it was unnecessary to use force to achieve foreign policy goals, so long as the military could threaten force. this belief, and his strategy of “speaking softly and carrying a big stick,” shaped much of roosevelt's foreign policy.
