Answer:

Slaves provided much of the labor on plantations that grew cash crops.

Plantations were the main economic activity in the American South during the antebellum period. These plantations cultivated cotton, tobacco, sugar, indigo, and rice. The warm climate, plentiful rainfall and fertile soil meant that the plantations were able to flourish. However, they were labour-intensive, and most workers were African slaves. Planters held dozens, or sometimes hundreds, of slaves, making slave labor very important to the economy of the Southern colonies.

Answer:

The slaves produced the crops that were needed. Thye produced the crops on large plantations that were owned by their masters. When the crops were grown, the owner had to sell them for money. The slaves helped the process by taking care of the plants. The slaves also were sold to people which gave money to the people who found or sold them. They also made the cash crops which were similar to tobacco, corn and wheat. When slaves run away the people who find them recieve rewards of money. This also helps people with economy.

The bantu education act

maks197457 [2]

The purpose of the act was to consolidate Bantu education, i.e. education of black people, so that discriminatory educational practices could be uniformly implemented across South Africa.

Many black and non-white children who lost a quality education due to the Bantu Act grew to experience economic strife. The Bantu Education Act resulted in increased racial tensions, a drop in national educational standards, and the denial of a quality education to thousands of South African children.

The education was aimed at training the children for the manual labour and menial jobs that the government deemed suitable for those of their race, and it was explicitly intended to inculcate the idea that Black people were to accept being subservient to white South Africans.

Why should historians question Edward Ennis?

Ira Lisetskai [31]

I believe the answer is: b. Ennis alerted his superiors to the existence of secret evidence but, when they ignored it, Ennis did not make the evidence public. He remained silent.
Withholding information usually is not the actions that taken by the honest individuals. Ennis actions indicate that He could receive something from the superiors that make him feel justified to stay silent rather than showing all the evidence to the public.
