Daniel Shays may have sold off half his land to pay off his debts or his family's debts. 

Massachusetts was Daniel Shays home. In this area, a lot of farmers were in debt and others find it difficult to pay off their debts. Those who were unable to pay their debts were sent into prison, making life more difficult for the farmers and their families.

Daniel Shays was a leader of a revolt against Massachusetts government. They protested the against the high taxes imposed on their lands as well as the forceful seizure of farmlands by the local sheriffs. The rebellion was identified as Shays' Rebellion.

Oliga [24]

Answer:

Private property

Explanation:

Realising the extinction of the entire community, the elders of the colony decided to try something radically different: the introduction of private property and the right of the individual families to keep the fruits of their own labor.

The Plymouth Colony experienced a great bounty of food. Private ownership meant that there was now a close link between work and reward. Industry became the order of the day as the men and women in each family went to the fields on their separate private farms. When the harvest time came, not only did many families produce enough for their own needs, but they had surpluses that they could freely exchange with their neighbors for mutual benefit and improvement.

The ____ survived in the rice kingdoms of South Carolina and Georgia, while ____ was preferred in Louisiana’s sugar plantations.
Semmy [17]

Answer:

Task System, Wage labour, Sharecropping.

Explanation:

Task system was used in the coastal areas of the US, Caribbean in rice and sugar plantations. While Sharecropping was used in North Carolina and Virginia. Share croppers were free people who tilled the land in return they had to pay the rent to the land owners. The sharecroppers were white and black farmers who lacked the money for purchasing land, livestock and seed after the civil war.

Wage labour was used in Louisiana's sugar plantations. It was a socioeconomic relationship between an employer and worker where the labourers sold their labour under an employment contract.  

Task system was the system of labour under slavery found in the Americas. It was considered to be less brutal than slave labour. Slaves working under this system often got the time for recreation and producing goods to earn for themselves. In this system the slaves were assigned specific tasks and they were free for the after finishing the task. It was mostly used in rice, coffee and sugarcane plantations as supervision is not needed while working on their plantations.
