The reconstruction helped African Americans because this was the time where they could search for new jobs, because after slavery, new job posts would probably open. During the Reconstruction, the most African Americans were employed during the 1800s-1900s.
The economic value of having colonies in the first place was for 3 main reasons
1) attain cheap labour from the native peoples
2) acquire cheap raw materials to bring to the homeland (Europe)
3) open up new markets to trade with
the first two were vital in Britains industrial revolution. Without cheap raw materials, and cheap labourers, the factories and refineries in Britain would have costed far more to maintain and keep supplied. This, in turn, would have slowed down production considerably. There is no doubt in my mind that the industrial revolution would still have taken place in Britain with or without the colonies, but WITH the colonies the process was sped up considerably.
Overall, cheap labour and raw materials attained through Britains colonial interests sped up the industrialisation of the UK.

Culturally, the medieval era was dominated by the church which emphasized human beings' lowliness in contrast to the greatness and holiness of God. The church remained strong in the Renaissance, but humanists of the Renaissance emphasized the God-given capabilities of human beings, created to do great things. And so, many great things were done by energetic and imaginative human beings of the Renaissance -- in art, architecture, literature, science, etc.
Socially, politically, and economically, medieval life focused on feudalism and agricultural life. The people lived on lands owned by the great landowners (the nobility), and the political power centered in the hands of those nobles. Economic value was tied to land ownership and agricultural production. In the Renaissance, cities rose to prominence. Banking and trade and budding industries became new ways of generating wealth, social status, and political power.
