History

Lunna [17]3 years ago

Answer:

The percentage of children working increased decade by decade

Explanation:

Child labor can be described or explained as the situation where the children are exposed to tedious or dangerous work that normally they are not capable of doing, based on the use of force or taking the advantage of their conditions. This is usually characterized by low pay, that is the money been given to the children is lower compared the work they are meant to do.

Child laborers often worked to help support their families, but were forced to forgo education.

In conclusion, though the percentage of child labor was increasing every decade, but during the period from 1902 to 1915, child labor committees emphasized reform through state legislatures. Many laws restricting child labor were passed as part of the progressive reform movement of this period.

How did warfare and existing slavery in africa contribute to the rise of American slavery
kenny6666 [7]
The conflict and existence of slavery in Africa, particularly on the west coast, facilitated the importation of slaves to New World. Rather than having to invade Africa and attempt to take people by force, European slave traders were able to, "legally" but no less horrendously, negotiate the purchase of already-enslaved peoples from other Africans. This made repeat-purchases much easier, and helped to increase the scale of the transportation of slaves across the Atlantic. 

This is not to say that Europeans never took African slaves by force, but a great number were purchased as slaves from African slave-owners or people hostile to the enslaved groups.

Why was Russia culturally different from Western Europe?
ELEN [110]

Answer:

Russia was cut off from much of western Europe. They were still a land of boyars and serfs. The Mongol rule had cut Russia off from the Renaissance and the Age of Exploration. Geographic barriers also isolated Russia. Its only seaport was iced over most of the year. Finally, religious differences widened the gap between western Europe and Russia.
