History

boyakko [2]4 years ago

In Henry Adams' account, he talks about how difficult it was for slaves to exercise their freedom after the Emancipation Proclamation. He tells us that his master had brought the former slaves together and suggested that they should stay with him. He told them that other white people were angry about emancipation, and would be cruel to them, or might even kill them. He also told them that it was better to stay with the people that knew them and had "raised" them. In this way, he convinced the slaves to stay.

The motivation that the former slave master most likely had in mind was that of not wanting to lose all of his labor force. He knew that the former slaves were necessary in order to keep his household and business running, but he was also aware of the fact that he did not want to treat the men fairly or pay them a good wage, so he needed to scare them in order to force them to stay.

How did the bubonic plague effect europe?
astra-53 [7]

It started in China in the early 1330's. The plague mainly affected rodents and fleas, but since China did trades with Asia and Europe, these countries were soon also affected.

In 1347, Italian merchant ships returned from the Black Sea to Europe. Many on board were already dying from the plague.

The fleas began to affect Europe's people, which allowed it to spread rapidly among the people.

The Bubonic plague was a period in history when Europe and much of the world's population was reduced.
