History

Vitek1552 [10]3 years ago
7 0

The founders of the Southern Colonies came to America seeking wealth in the form of land ownership. The coastal plains and the rolling hills were perfect for raising crops. The rich soil and the warm weather helped the crops thrive.

Each plantation required a lot of workers. Plantation owners could not find enough workers among the European immigrants and the Native Americans were not interested in working on the  plantations either.

The plantation owners found the solution on a Dutch slave ship. They purchased their first slaves in Jamestown in 1619. First African Americans were known as  indentured servants rather than slaves. They were forced to work on the  plantations. Many more Africans followed in their footsteps and the plantation system started to develop with a great speed.

Jet001 [13]

Answer:

The correct response is the fourth option. People in northern and western Europe started planting and eating potatoes as an important source of nutrition.

Explanation:

Potatoes are a tuber crop that originates from the Andean region. As of 2014, potatoes are the fourth-largest food crop in the world with the others at the top of the list being maize (corn), wheat, and rice. Potatoes became especially important to the cultures of Northern Europe, especially Ireland, Scotland and the Scandanavian countries that have short growing seasons and have populations who need products that store well for long winters. This is one of the properties of the potato. Unfortunately, there was a large famine called the Great Irish Famine due to a fungus that infested the potato harvest in 1845. There was not much genetic diversity of the species that were introduced and this contributed to the scale of the collapse.
