Answer:
Think about slavery. The average African-American will have very low morale if he is forced to work. Low morale means their work ethic will slip, and sub-par work ethic leads to sub-par product. You'll actually be saving money if you free your slaves. Rather than paying tens of thousands of dollars to buy them and then paying for all of their expenses beyond that, you'll just have to pay them monthly or weekly wages. Abolition is both cost effective and stimulating to the economy.
Explanation:
Large concentrations of individuals were more expensive to care for, especially medically. Most slave owners were primarily concerned about the so-called "wage bubble" that would burst and leave all slave owners destitute, when in reality slave owners who freed their slaves and still had some working for them as freemen flourished.
I think it was Richard Pryor
Dear Editor of the Los Angeles Times,Hello. I am a white American citizen living in Los Angeles. I have just read about theSupreme Court case of Korematsu v. the United States, and had some opinions I would like todiscuss. This case as made me very irate as I do not agree with the way Japanese Americansare being treated.I believe that forcing Japanese Americans into internment camps is unfair andunconstitutional. It is bypassing their rights as American citizens. Yes, they are of Japanesedissent, but they chose to be here. They left their home country, culture, family, and basicallyeverything they knew behind just to become citizens in this country. They want nothing morethan to take advantage of all this great land has to offer, just like everyone else. It is unfair todiscriminate against them because of their nationality. Korematsu should not have beenarrested for resisting containment, as freedom is a founding principal of the United States. Iagree with the dissenting opinion, as the majority voted to withhold Korematsu’s conviction
B. The expulsion of non-Christians from Spain.
The Reconquista had the ultimate effect of driving Muslims out of the Iberian Peninsula, and contributed to the unification of a single Spanish kingdom.
Muslim incursions into the Iberian Peninsula had happened already back in the 8th century, and Muslim populations controlled the southern portions of Spain and Portugal for many centuries. "The Reconquista" is the name given to the retaking of the lands by Portugal and Spain, completed in 1492. Following that, there were efforts to force Muslims to convert to Catholic Christianity if they wished to remain in the land. [Jews were targeted also.] The Reconquista had been pursued on and off since the 8th century, but was most aggressively--and successfully--carried out by the monarchy team of Ferdinand and Isabella, who completed the conquest over Muslims in Grenada in 1492.
Ferdinand of Aragon and Isabella of Castile had joined their kingdoms by marriage to one another in 1469. Their success against the Muslim presence in the peninsula advanced their control over all of Spain. Under their son, King Charles I, Spain was ruled as a single kingdom. (Charles is perhaps more famously known also as Holy Roman Emperor Charles V, as he held that imperial title also from 1519 to 1556.)
The Puget Sound Basin is located in the Pacific Northwest, as part of an inlet of the Pacific Ocean and the Salish Sea. This means that the area comprises the northwestern coast of the U.S. state of Washington.
The Puget Sound Basin is particularly important to the economy of the state of Washington because of two main resources: water and animal species. The Puget Sound Basin contains surface and ground-water resources that play an important economic and ecological role. The resource is economically important because it provides water for an expanding population, hydroelectric power, recreational opportunities and an ecosystem that sustains fishery.
While fishery is also a major economic contribution of this area, some factors have made this business less sustainable. These include the loss of aquatic habitat, unsustainable agricultural practices in the region, washoff of metals, pesticides and petroleum products and nutrient enrichment of lakes and embayments. This means that populations of the species in the region have decreased in recent years.
