Well, once the Americas were discovered and the colonist found that the soil was agreeable to grow different crops such as tobacco and cotton the colonists realized that they needed people to pick the crops. Originally indentured servants did the hard labor but then when they found that they could get labor by trading goods with African tribal leaders they resorted to importing Africans to the Americas as labor. The tribes in Africa were constantly fighting and whichever side won the losers became the slaves of the winning tribe. However, as Europeans brought valuable things to the continent of Africa such as weapons, salt, gold, and other things the leaders of the winning tribe would give their slaves to the Europeans. There were cases when Blacks captured other Blacks in Africa for the sole purpose of giving them to the European traders. Hopefully this helps. If you haven't see the movie La Amistad, it will explain in more detail what I have written. I learned a lot from that movie. I must warn you the first 5 to 10 minutes are a bit gory. I had a hard time watching that part.
Answer:
The answers are:
letter A. Farmers found that the price of wheat began to rise dramatically after the war.
letter E. Farmers were prosperous during the war since growing conditions were excellent.
Explanation:
Before the Great Depression (after the Civil War), many <em>federal land acts</em> attracted people to go to the <u>Southern Great Plains.</u> They were given an incentive if they were to make the acres of land productive. This was under the "Homestead Act of 1862."
Due to this, even inexperienced farmers went to the place. They were thinking that if many people will plow the area, the place will become more productive, <em>particularly the climate of the Great Plains.</em> During World War I, farmers choose to mortgage their farms because of the rising price of wheat. Many farmers plow a huge area of land, which led to intense cultivation. It was a time when the farmers were deemed prosperous because the growing conditions were excellent.
Thus, this explains the answers above.
A sudden change of events occurred after the Great Depression. Wheat prices suddenly dropped. This caused many farmers to go bankrupt.
The correct answer is D) They built windmills and plows.
Because of the dry environment of the West, windmills were built, this helped with the lack of water. Daniel Halladay invented a windmill that pumped water out of a deep well. They also invented dry farming because of the lack of water, when it rained farmers would plow their land so that dust covered the surface. this kept the water underneath the soil.
Because of the weather farmers grew resistant crops such as wheat.
