APUSH Chapter 20 Notes
Subject:
Harriet Beecher Stowe, Uncle Tom?s Cabin: The daughter of Abolitionist Lyman Beecher, Stowe published her book in 1852. It was a runaway success, selling millions of copies and being translated into 20 languages and adapted for stage. The novel depicted the brutality of slavery, and its destruction of families. It aroused sentiment against slave and helped cause, and win the civil war through: convincing many Northerners not to support the Fugitive Slave Act, awakened the fire in many youths who would later join the Union army, and set popular opinion abroad against the South.
APUSH Chapter 2 Notes
Subject:
John Rolfe: Husband of Pocahontas. He was killed by Powhatans in a surprise raid in 1622. He devoted much of his new world life to perfecting a saleable form of tobacco. Disease: Main destroyer of Indian people and cultures. Epidemics of measles and smallpox totally destroyed some Indian groups, while in other tribes killed the elders who kept their history and culture alive. Tobacco: The main cash crop of Virginia. It was bad in that it ruined the soil and tied the economy to the price of one crop. It also promoted the use of many acres of large plantations and thus a need for lots of new labor, and as a consequence, slavery.

Justice is defined by Merriam-Webster as being in conformity with what is morally upright or good. I will refer to this type of justice as big-J justice, or justice that assumes universality and absolute good. OR Justice is defined from the same source as conforming with what is deemed fair or good. I will refer to this as little-J justice, or justice that is derived from the ethics of the actor undertaking the action. The resolution is not asking about big-J justice. Rather, the resolution only questions whether the action satisfies the little-J conception of justice held by the American government, for two reasons.
