How were people affected by the plantation system

History

In the 17th century Europeans began to establish settlements in the Americas. The division of the land into smaller units under private ownership became known as the plantation system. Starting in Virginia the system spread to the New England colonies. Crops grown on these plantations such as tobacco, rice, sugar cane and cotton were labour intensive. Slaves were in the fields from sunrise to sunset and at harvest time they did an eighteen hour day. Women worked the same hours as the men and pregnant women were expected to continue until their child was born.

European immigrants had gone to America to own their own land and were reluctant to work for others. Convicts were sent over from Britain but there had not been enough to satisfy the tremendous demand for labour. Planters therefore began to purchase slaves. At first these came from the West Indies but by the late 18th century they came directly from Africa and busy slave-markets were established in Philadelphia, Richmond, Charleston and New Orleans.

The plantation system helped plantation owners because they didn't have to take care of their crops, and the slave trade, because it provided them with business, but it obviously hurt the slaves because there was a higher demand for them and because they were often treated terribly.

Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

Trade became more difficult, as well as the movement of armies. It is hard to protect a falling Roman Empire from enemies when the roads don't support moving armies. Trade took a hit because how are you supposed to transport items from one way to another for sale if the roads cannot support your caravans?

Which were precedents set by George Washington during his presidency? A. He lived in the White House and created the nation's fi
Stells [14]
Answer A is false: Washington never got to live in the White House, and one of the things he warned about in his Farewell Address was the formation of political parties. 

Answer B: There is no evidence to support that he wore his general's uniform. His cabinet only consisted of two of his former officers Alexander Hamilton and Henry Knox. His reasoning for selecting them was not because they were his former officers but because of their expertise. 

Answer C: He only served 2 terms, so this answer choice is also false. 


Answer D: This is the most plausible answer. Even when Washington got re-elected for his 2nd term, he did not want to be President.
