History

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.

How were Native parents and children impacted by the U.S. government policy of assimilation through boarding schools?
zvonat [6]

Answer:

Explanation:

Boarding schools basically ripped kids away from their parents and forced them to attend boarding schools which were supposed to help them become more "civilized" and assimilate with the rest of the euro-american society. The schools taught skills that were way below the standards, and thus these kids could not function well in the society. These kids were also ripped from their homes so they did not fit well with their own society as they had little to no knowledge of their own culture. These schools were also full of sexual abuse, physical abuse, trauma, emotional abuse, and even scientific testing.

Thus, in short, these schools had extremely negative impact on native children as well as on native parents. These parents witnessed their kids getting ripped from them but could not do anything to stop it, thus suffered from emotional suffering from separation.
