5. The Confessions of Nat Turner
“Being at play with other children, when three or four years old, I was telling them something, which my mother overhearing, said it had happened before I was born - I stuck to my story, however, and related some things which went in her opinion to confirm it - others being called on were greatly astonished, knowing that these things had happened, and caused them to say in my hearing, I surely would be a prophet, as the Lord had shewn me things that had happened before my birth. And my father and mother strengthened me in this my first impression, saying in my presence, I was intended for some great purpose” ~

6. Slavery and the Southern Economy
The South was mainly agricultural with very little manufacturing
The main crops during the mid 1800s were rice and cotton, both which required extensive labor to produce
Though slavery was prevalent in the South, the vast majority of Southerners did not own slaves

7. Nat Turner’s Revolt
Slave Codes put restrictions on slaves, preventing them from learning to read and write and restricting their rights
Nat Turner, a Virginia slave, believed God had chosen him to lead a revolt
Turner and his followers killed more than 50 people before being caught
Turner’s Revolt led to states
passing even stricter codes
and restrictions on both
slaves and free African
Americans

In 1819 the U.S. consisted of 11 free and 11 slave states

To off set the imbalance Maine applied for statehood as a free state
The Missouri Compromise granted statehood to both free and slave states and set a boundary for which areas slavery could expand in to - Everything north of the line was free and everything south would be slave
Why would the South agree
not to expand slavery into
the Unorganized Louisiana
Territory?

17. SSUSH8c. Describe the Nullification Crisis and the emergence of states’ rights ideology; include the role of John C. Calhoun and development of sectionalism.
Nullification Crisis
Why would tariffs hurt Southern states like South Carolina more than Northern States?
In the early 1800s South Carolina’s economy began to weaken in part due to high government tariffs, or taxes, on imports
In 1828 Congress passed another tariff, which many called the Tariff of Abominations
South Carolina threatened to secede from the U.S. over the high tariffs

18. Nullification Crisis
Vice-President John C. Calhoun, from South Carolina, supported the idea of nullification, or the right of the states to declare federal laws null, or void
He declared that states had this power of nullification because the states had created the federal government

19. Nullification Crisis In 1832, Congress passed yet another tariff law
In November 1832, South Carolina declared the tariffs of 1828 and 1832 null, and refused to pay the federal government’s taxes on imports

20. Nullification Crisis
President Andrew Jackson ordered a warship to Charleston, viewing the nullification as a treasonous act
To ease tensions, Congress passed a bill that gradually lowered tariffs
South Carolina repealed its nullification of tariffs and the issue was temporarily solved
How was the Nullification Crisis
an example of sectionalism?

21. Bell Ringer
Benjamin Franklin was one of the leaders of the American Revolution. He was also a writer and publisher. He used his printing press to share wise sayings that he hoped would help his readers. Some of these sayings he wrote himself. Some he adapted from other sources.
Here are some of the sayings Franklin published. Read them carefully then say what virtues you think Franklin admired; write each virtue down in order of each saying.
A lie stands on one leg, the truth on two
One today is worth two tomorrows
Three may keep a secret, if two of them are dead
A quarrelsome man has no good neighbors
Up, sluggard, and waste not life; in the grave will be sleeping enough
Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, & wise
An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest
Never leave that till tomorrow which you can do today
He that goes a borrowing goes a sorrowing
What do these sayings mean? Can you re-phrase them in your own words? Be ready with an answer…I’m going to call on some people!
