What was a major reason of the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade

1 answer:

8 0

A main cause of the trade was the colonies that European countries were starting to develop. In America, for instance, which was a colony of England, there was a demand for many labourers for the sugar, tobacco and cotton plantations. Paid labourers were too expensive, and the indigenous people had largely been wiped out by disease and conflict, so the colonisers turned to Africa to provide cheap labour in the form of slaves.

What protections were built into the Charter of the Medieval Town of Lorris, France for the tenant or homeowner?

Jlenok [28]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached we can say the following.

The protections that were built into the Charter of the Medieval Town of Lorris, France for the tenant or homeowner were the following.

The King was very interested in the protection of the people of France in that they were "the motor" of the economy of the Middle Ages.

The French small towns had active participation in the economy of the kingdom and had to be protected in those dark ages of the centuries 11th and 12th.

In this case, the charter of Lorris, France, was granted by King Louis VII. The year: 1155.

The charter included important articles such as that the inhabitants of Lorris only needed to pay "sixpence" for their homes and for each acre of land they owned. The charter clearly said that nobodu¿y could force the people to pay extra taxes. People were forced to travel far away to the degree they could not return home on the same day. People were exempted to pay tolls when they crossed the regions of Orleans, Milly, or Etampes. People could not be arrested when they were working in the markets. The only exception was if they were disturbing the peace of the place.
