Mission US - Flight to Freedom
Public opinion in early American history was influenced by pamphlets, books and newspaper articles such as Uncle Tom’s Cabin. The invention of the telegraph transformed news and hastened the rise of independent, mass-circulation newspapers in the 19th century.
Explain that the country’s expansion helped it develop sections with distinct economic characteristics. The sections took different positions on key political issues of the day (e.g., tariff policy, the national bank, internal improvements, sales of public lands, slavery).

Northerners who did not rely on slaves for a workforce objected to slavery as a moral wrong and opposed its extension into the territories.
