Question

1. select all that apply. select two flawed reasons that john c. calhoun used to justify slavery as a \positive good.\ abolition would be detrimental to the national economy and society. slavery \saved\ enslaved people from violence in their native africa. it allowed africans a more \civilized\ way of life. the majority of americans supported the institution of slavery.

Explanation:

John C. Calhoun argued that slavery "saved" enslaved people from native - African violence and that it offered them a more "civilized" life. These are flawed as they ignore the inhumane nature of slavery and are based on false, racist assumptions. The claim about national economy is an economic - based argument and the one about majority support is a popularity - based one, but the first two are more directly about justifying slavery as a "positive good" in a moral - like sense.

Answer:

Slavery "saved" enslaved people from violence in their native Africa.
It allowed Africans a more "civilized" way of life.
