In most cases, what affects the political decisions is what helps the country the most. Politicians do not refer to morality very often. However, there will always be a group of people who fight for justice and the rights of the others. The antislavery movement started in the north of the United States because of political reasons. They wanted to prevent the South from dominating the congress. Even though the movement started that way, it later changed to become a moral issue. Many Northerners started asking if slavery is morally acceptable. The abolitionist movement started growing more and more. They started doing more activities to help the slaves in the South. The issue in the South was not mainly whether slavery was morally acceptable
