How were people affected by the plantation system

History

rewona [7]3 years ago

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.

How did most white Southerners view the practice of slavery?
jeka94

Answer:

C) They saw slavery as a “positive good” for enslaved workers.

Explanation:

White Southerners safeguarded the foundation of slavery on various fronts. They said that it was important and they said that it was not taboo, yet they likewise contended that it was a positive good. Southerners contended that slavery was a financial need. They contended that there was no real way to get anybody to do the kind of work that was required for tobacco (and later cotton) development without pressuring them. They contended that subjection was in this way totally fundamental for the Southern economy.  

The Southerners additionally contended that there was no motivation to believe that slavery was indecent. They looked to somewhere around three sources to help this case. In the first place, they looked to Biblical times. They noted that there was slavery in the Old Testament and the New Testament and that Jesus never opposed the practice. Second, they took a gander at classical antiquity. They contended that the Greeks and the Romans had slaves even as they were the wellspring of Western development. At last, they took a gander at the time of the Founding Fathers. They noticed that the general population who composed the Constitution had slaves. In view of these precedents, they contended that there was no motivation to think slavery wasn't right.
