History

BaLLatris [955]3 years ago

In the antebellum south, slaves did free labor. Slaves were considered property, and they were property because they were black. Their status as property was enforced by violence -- actual or threatened. Besides planting and harvesting, there were numerous other types of labor required on plantations and farms. Enslaved people had to clear new land, dig ditches, cut and haul wood, slaughter livestock, and make repairs to buildings and tools. In many instances, they worked as mechanics, blacksmiths, drivers, carpenters, and in other skilled trades. Black women carried the additional burden of caring for their families by cooking and taking care of the children, as well as spinning, weaving, and sewing.

Some slaves worked as domestics, providing services for the master's or overseer's families. These people were designated as "house servants," and though their work appeared to be easier than that of the "field slaves," in some ways it was not. They were constantly under the scrutiny of their masters and mistresses, and could be called on for service at any time. They had far less privacy than those who worked the fields.

Until 1991, the form of government in place in the Soviet Union was capitalistic. True False
Aleks04 [339]
False. Until the fall of the Soviet union, Russia was a socialist country. If you look at some of the basic ideas in Marxist theory about socialism was that it's was a complete overthrow of capitalism, instead believing that everyone should be in the same class of wealth. Basically, everything is shared from everyone. You pay for other people and vice-versa. In all communist governments (like the Soviet Union), they turn their backs on the ideas of capitalism.
