half of the cotton, corn, and fodder (and peas and pumpkins and potatoes if any are planted) if the following conditions are complied with, but-if not-they are to have only two-fifths (2/5). Nothing can be sold from their (sharecroppers’) crops until my rent is all paid, and all amounts they owe me are paid in full. All must work under my direction……..Work of every description, particularly the work on fences and ditches, to be done to my satisfaction, and must be done over until I am satisfied that it is done as it should be. - Sharecropping Contract, 1882 (Modified) (Check out THIS video for a quick review.)

Answer:

The historical circumstance of this document is the existence of sharecropping contracts.

The target audience for this document is people who were interested in renting land, many of them ex-slaves.

The point of view presented in the document was the point of view of the landowner.

The purpose of the document is to set out the requirements that the landowner established for those who wished to use their land for their own production, or to sell.

Explanation:

The text above shows an excerpt from a sharecropping Contract.

This type of contract refers to the historical moment in which many people, most of them ex-slaves, had to submit to land lease contracts from white southerners, so that they could plant and establish a survival farming system to maintain themselves. and, if possible, sell to other people.

These contracts emerged after the secession war, and it was a way of making ex-slaves dependent on white masters, preventing them from enjoying full freedom, as, as you can see, they had to direct much of their work to please the landowner.

kolezko [41]

Anthony Wayne (January 1, 1745 – December 15, 1796) was a United States Army officer and statesman. He adopted a military career at the outset of the American Revolutionary War, where his military exploits and fiery personality quickly earned him promotion to brigadier general and the nickname Mad Anthony. He served as the Senior Officer of the Army and led the Legion of the United States.

Wayne gave command of the army for a short time after the war, when he settled in Georgia, on land that had been granted to him for his military service and briefly represented Georgia in the United States House of Representatives, then returned to the Army to accept command of the Northwest Indian War. Wayne died in 1796 while on active duty.

What reason does the author suggest for why North Korea and the United States answer the three basic questions differently?
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

The difference in economic system they implemented.

Explanation:

Here are three basic questions of economy:

- What To produce ?

- For whom we produce it ?

- how to produce it ?

Since United States adopted a free market system , the answers to all of these basic questions will be depended on the power of supply and demand that created by consumers and the producers.

North Korea on the other hand, implemented a Centralized economy. So, the answers to all of these basic question will be fully determined/decided by the government. The people have no power to influence them.
