In Many Rivers to Cross, Professor Skip Gates of Havard, explains that the boom of the American economy was the largest in our history after the cotton gin. Cotton was King, and slavery fueled all regions of the United States. A second middle passage was started because of the demand for black labor was seen as okay, as long as profits were so very large. Abolitionists and evangelical leaders like Richard Allen, founder of the the African American Methodist Episcopal church saw slavery for what it was, an evil institution. A moral argument was beginning to spread across the country so that many people wanted to end slavery.
On page 353 of your textbook there is an advertisement. On page 420 an advertisement speaks out against the abolition or slavery.

What was the manufacturing job market like as the Irish fled the potato famine in Ireland? Expansion of the nation, slavery, industrial revolution, were all happening at the same time. Remember all these events are simultaneously changing America.
