History

BaLLatris [955]3 years ago
8 0
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.

marishachu [46]

The correct answer is option A.

<u>A. China's civilization developed uniquely from other early civilizations.</u>

The best example of how geography influences history is the one stating that China's civilization developed uniquely from other early civilizations. This was also due to the rough terrain at the peninsula, which contains many mountains, and to the earthquakes that happen somewhat frequently there.
