Zenger Trial Primary Source Text APUS1
The Epochal Zenger Trial (1735) Andrew Hamilton greatly affected America?s democratic system by proving a new way of justice in the courts. In the Zenger Trial, he shows that what Zenger was accused of could be argued and proven wrong. He was able to argue his case and he made steps to what our justice system today frequently uses: the principal of ?innocent until proven guilty? and the ability to argue one?s case in court.

Effects of Slavery
Slavery has made a substantial impact on American history and was the main factor that had provoked the Civil War. Though the outcomes of the war did grant freedom to the slaves, they were not given any rights as humans. Freedmen were continuously oppressed by the ?superior? whites, causing ?freedom? to just be a title with no meaning. Freedmen also faced adversities and disadvantages from racism, segregation, disdain, poverty, and violence for another century before they received equality. Although there were many attempts to bring equality to the blacks in the United States after they gained their freedom, there was minimal support due to the hatred fueled by the differences of skin color.
