Sharecropping can be considered a legalized form of slavery because it contained many of the same elements.
Sharecropping is a system in which a landlord rents a plot of land to a tenant. During this era, the land would be owned by a white plantation owner (most of the time) and the person renting the land would be a former slave. This tenant would then be responsible for producing as much product as possible in order to give their payment to the land owner. This is similar to slavery, as the plantation owner benefits from another person's hard work.
Since the survival of the tenant depends on how well they farm, they are less likely to leave the land. This is similar to slavery, as leaving leaving a plantation greatly decreased a slaves chance of survival.
Hello! So, the Byzantine Empire stretched across THREE continents at its height. Europe, Asia, and Africa. It was the largest state in Europe at its height, took up most of the Middle East and South-Western Asia, and the Northern coast of Africa.
I’m sorry I couldn’t give a definite answer. If anything, I would say it was largely located in Europe and Asia, since it only occupied Africa for a shorter time.
I really hope this helps! Have such a great day! :)
John hay negotiate to establish open door policy with: China and the countries with spheres of influence.
At that time, john hay believe that establishing open door policy with these countries would bring economic wealth to united states. Under this policy, United states would be able to trade with china and those other countries without many restrictions such as tariff or quota. This would bring more profit to american producers.
They allowed for more work to be done faster, such as plowing fields, and could be used for food. but they mostly were used for labor .
Disease flourished and fire was an ever-present danger.
