16. If anyone receive into his house a runaway male or female slave of the court, or of a freedman, and does not bring it out at

Explanation:

If you bring a runaway slave into your home and don't report it, the head of the household will be put to death. I'm guessing that during the time, kidnapping people for  more labor work to be done was illegal, especially when it was done without permission by The Public Proclomation of the Major Domus.

The Way Society Changed:

Before the law was passed, this would be done constantly to keep possessions they didn't want to trade or to save currency (whatever currency was at the time). After it was passed, people had to start notifying the PPMD about the enslavements so their heads won't get hacked off.

What I would do:

I would do the right thing and just tell them "Hey can i have this slave?" and they'd go "Okay whatever" and I wouldn't get my head chopped off.

Hope this helps, man.

Between the years of 1923 and 1929, America enjoyed one of the most affluent periods in its history. True or False
Goryan [66]
I would say true because this was the time of "boom", as we called it.

A lot of mass production and all that ( More making  cars, food, and lots more )

After that, however, was around the Great Depression, when lot's of things and people were lost.

Glad I could help, and good luck!

Why would parent allow their children to work in such dangerous conditions
lesantik [10]

Answer:

A parent would allow their child to work in dangerous conditions if they needed the child's payment money to help keep the family afloat and be able to provide for their families.

Explanation:

It makes sense because in third world countries companies such as Nike were using child labor to make their products and they only get payed about an $1 a day. In order to live adequately you need at least $3 a day, so they were using the kids to help with financial problems.

How did the discovery of the Americas affect the people of Africa
insens350 [35]
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.
