The people at the ranch in the donner party
Were afraid to travel in the winter
Thought Mr. Thomas was making the story up
Wanted to use dogs and special equipment for the search
Were anxious to locate survivors

What was one reason that southern states passed laws after 1800 to discourage manumission? 1)southern whites feared that freed blacks would seek revenge for past treatment as slaves. 2) northern leaders pressured southerners to liberate enslaved people. 3)southern states needed an inexpensive labor force to work in southern factories. 4)northern whites had sold their slaves to southerners before slavery was banned in the north.
