//**Slavery in the first half of the 19t Century:**// When thinking logically, cruelty can have it's multiple meanings. Referring to slavery in America, the cruelty that slaves faced was ironic because thy had their benefits and detrements. Slaves were lashed and beaten for whatever reasons that their owners found to be appropriate, however white slave owners took this slavery issue to another level. "I do not wish to think, or speak, or write, with moderation. . . . I am in earnest -- I will not equivocate -- I will not excuse -- I will not retreat a single inch -- AND I WILL BE HEARD." Due to the extreme ways of the "justice" in slavery, men like William Lloyd Garrison and others strongly opposed slavery and fought hard to rid of it in the South. As the United States moved on forward, the issue of slavery became quite intense. After the Civil War, slavery ended but racism commenced but with this racism going on there would be special documents like the Bill of Rights and Constitution which would help serve and protect all men, and prove that the Constution's phrase "...all men are created equal..." is true.
