Idea in which republics like Ancient Greece and Rome could only succeed if they were small in size and homogeneous in population, and that the citizens were willing to sacrifice their own private interests for the good of the whole.

Because of the contradiction that "All men are created equal" and that African Americans were being enslaved, many African Americans used that as a tool in their fight for freedom. When governments began to realize the contradiction stated above, the Northern states gradually abolished slavery and became known as "The First Emancipation". Provided insurance coverage for its members, financed a school, and helped to support orphans. Founded by former slaves, this denomination sponsored schools in a number of cities and, along with some other religious African American church groups, the cultural centers of the free black community.
