Slavery in the Chesapeake region began in 1619, when a Dutch trading vessel carrying 20 African men entered Jamestown, Virginia. The slave trade expanded in the following years. Between 1700 and 1770, the region's slave population grew from 13,000 to 250,000. By the beginning of the Revolutionary War in 1775, Black people made up nearly one-third of the region's population.
In the 1800s, the Chesapeake region became a focal point of the national controversy surrounding slavery because it was in the unique position of spanning free, border and slave states:
“Free states,” which did not support slavery, made up the northern portion of the region.
“Slave states” encompassed the southern portion of the region.
“Border states” allowed slavery but were allied with the free states, further complicated the region's politics.

1. How did did government leaders of developing nations first try to modernize their economies?
lutik1710 [3]

Answer: the right answer is government ownership of companies.

Explanation: Most developing countries either nationalize companies or try to make big companies and as a general thing these companies become a political bounty and end up losing money that is transfered to the contributors' pocket. The worst of all is that voters don't have good education and are manipulated and they vote again for bad politicians that do the same thing which becomes a lose lose cycle.
