Answer:

After the fifteenth century the slave trade increased due to the imperial expansion of Europe. Between the 16th and 19th centuries, approximately twelve million enslaved African people were sent to America as forced labor.

A determining situation for this increase was the development of sugarcane plantations. European colonizers enslaved many people to work in those crops. The cultivation of sugarcane required that a large number of people devote themselves to this intense, continuous and arduous activity, especially during the harvest. In this way, the growing demand for sugar production favored forced labor.

On the other hand, the diseases introduced by the Europeans in the territories they colonized, caused the native population to decrease. This fact prevented the colonizers from finding the amount of native labor they wanted. For this reason, they sought in Africa this work force.

Why did shays rebellion cause the founding fathers to write the constitution?

bulgar [2K]

Shay’s rebellion was an imperative in showing that the Articles of Confederation, the United States first constitution, had significant flaws and needed to either be changed or replaced. Since the US federal government had no control over the states, they did not have the ability to call on a reliable army to stop the rebellion. The 13 states at the time could not be held accountable for anything. This flaw in the Articles of Confederation showed that a stronger federal government was needed in order to keep order in American society.
