man (G). He also vetoed the bill for an interstate road through Kentucky claiming it was unconstitutional to make internal improvements. Document F influenced Jackson toward anti-abolition, a view he clearly expressed in has 1835 annual message to Congress. He tried to institute a "gag rule" which would stop abolitionist pamphlets and letters from entering Congress, which would be a severely unconstitutional breech on the hidom of speech of many Americans (F). While Jackson used the veto inappropriately he also used it well. He supported his vetoes with valid statements regarding his reasons and thoughts as to why he thought a bill violated the rights of the people (B). He also showed that he could be a defender of the Constitution during the Nullification Crisis. His belief that the states lacked personal sovereignty under the Constitution lead him to threaten South Carolina with military force, a tactic that proves his belief in the Constitution and its power. While Jacksonian Democrats may have been hypocritical calling themselves the guardians of the Constitution, political democracy, individual liberty and equal economic activity, they did do many things that encouraged each of these things.

In Chapter Seven, we see through Eliza's eyes, just how painfuland heart wrenching her personal sacrifices are to her. "It is impossible to conceive of a human creature more wholly desolate and forlorn than Eliza, when she turned her footsteps from Uncle Tom's cabin. Her husband's suffering and dangers, and the danger of her child, all blended in her mind, with a confused and stunning sense of the risk she was running, in leaving the only home she had ever known,and cutting loose from the protection of a friend whom she lovedand revered. " Statements like this were not simply crafted to enhance character development; they were created in an attempt to make whites see slaves as mothers, fathers, Christians, and most of all...people. The character of Tom is described as "a man of humanity" certainly not a description commonly linked to black people at that time. Tom was truly the first black hero in American fiction. However, Stowe based many of her hiessments on her own reality. and while it is obvious that she very much advocated the abolition of slavery, she did not completely rise above her own racism. After all, this work was written during a time in which racial equality was incomprehensible to most whites. Therefore Stowe's ingrained prejudices were bound to seep out occasionally, .
