Slavery
In the south, slaves owners treated their slaves like cattle or goods one has bought. It is very rare that families stayed united. The poor slaves were beaten and mistreated. There were very few rebellions. One notable one was one lead by an leterate slave callednTurner who succeeded in killing many whites with the help of other slaves. This lead to the fact that slaves weren't allowed to be leterate and couls not have meetings without the presence of a white man.
The underground railroad was a link between safe houses until liberty. (usually in Canada) This was developped by Harriett Tubman a legendary abolishionist who made 19 trips to save slaves.

A book called Uncle Tom's Cabin enlightened the Notheners. it said that slavery was against the Christen religion. It was a northern bestseller but southners did not like it at all. They tried to write about how slaved preferred to work in their plantations than to be free. However, these books were not popular.
