Most people were engaged in agriculture as in the U.S. in 1820. They farmed to feed and clothe themselves; in other words, they engaged in subsistence agriculture. Most people did not own land. The land was owned by a few, such as hacendados or the Roman Catholic Church.

There were export sectors in economies. Exports were of two basic kinds: agricultural and mineral. Argentina and Uruguay exported cattle hides and salted beef. Bolivia exported silver and mercury; Peru: silver and, later, guano; Colombia: precious metals and sugar; Brazil: sugar and, later, coffee; and Mexico: silver, gold, and cotton. Most of these exports went to Europe. Little went to each other. None of it in huge volumes even in Argentina until the late 19th century. The countries lacked capital, communications networks, and technology to develop the export business. Besides, the upper class was able to meet its needs without much economic expansion. Societies were run for the benefit of the upper classes.

Name three ways that these voyages made a significant impact on geography

Yanka [14]

The three ways that geography was effected by this voyages were:

- they finally proved that the Earth is round;

- the discovery of new continents and islands;

- mapping;

The voyages of this period of time were very important for the geography as a science, but also for the whole human kind. With them, it was finally proved that our planet is round, and thus that question and debates were given the answer that everyone was looking for for so long. Four new continents, and thousands of islands were discovered, and that gave a whole new perspective of the world, its shape, land masses, and water bodies. Since lots of new discoveries were made, and there was an ever-growing number of places discovered, the mapping was crucial, and there was a lot of focus on it which contributed to new techniques of mapping.
