<span>Cultures have been creating celebratory ‘cakes’ (the term cake and bread were often interchangeable) for thousands of years. However, cakes, specifically for birthdays, similar to what we enjoy today, are believed to have originated in Germany in the 1400’s. Before that time, cakes were almost solely for the celebration of weddings but bakeries began to market them for birthdays as well. 
</span>

As with the marketing of birthday cakes, the addition of candles is also attributed to the Germans around the 1700’s when Kinderfesten, birthday celebrations for children, became more common. The custom was to place a candle for each year of their life as well as extra candles to represent years to come.

Capitalism came during the 17th century when merchants became involved in the production of goods by supplying materials. Spanish involvement in the New World has started markets in Europe, which has led them to earn wealth for their empire.

Encomienda is a system of acquiring labours. It introduced by Spanish in America during the colonizing. The purpose was to enslave Native Indians and used them as a labour source. Native Americans were captured and put into works in sugar plantation and mines. Many of them died from disease, beatings, and hunger.

<u>- More information on the Compromise of 1850 : </u>

<u />

- On January 29, 1850, Senator Henry Clay submitted a number of resolutions in an effort to find a middle ground and prevent a conflict between the North and the South. The Fugitive Slave Act was modified as part of the Compromise of 1850, which also saw the abolition of the slave trade in Washington, D.C.

- A fugitive's right to a jury trial was likewise violated by the Act. Many African Americans in the North fled to Canada when the Act was established. The Fugitive Slave Act not only allowed for the recapture of slaves but also the return of many free persons to slavery without the benefit of a jury trial.
