History Sources Quotes for Slavery Paper

Argument:  Slavery was a necessary evil to the expansion of American democracy and the economy

Takaki Chapter 3 Quotes

Quote 1: "The value of our lands and slaves, taken conjunctly, doubles in about twenty years,’ he cooly calculated. ‘This arises from the multiplication of our slaves, from the extension of our culture, and increased demands for lands’” (Takaki,  2008).

Explanation: Here Takaki uses Jefferson to illustrate the fact that slavery would increase and was necessary because of the “extension of our culture and the increased demands for land.” Since land and freedom were intertwined in the definition of American democracy, slavery was necessary to move toward greater democracy. In terms of our economy, Jefferson demonstrates that slavery was necessary in order to continue to expand the economy and continue the agricultural legacy that Jefferson held so dear.
