In the plantations, male and female slaves were both responsible for all the planting, harvesting and cleaning of the fields under extremely harsh and inhumane conditions. The harvesting was carried out by broad curved machetes and afterwards the ripe sugar canes were loaded into carts and taken to the sugar cane mills erected in the plantation estates to be processed into sugar and its derivatives.

In the sugar cane mills, during the harvesting periods  work was 24 hours none stop to meet up with supply deadlines as most of the machinery used were slow and inefficient.

In contrast to what happened in the plantation fields, the slave masters preferred female slaves working in the sugar cane mills. Theirs was a particularly hazardous and life-threatening responsibility as it involved pushing the sugar cane stalks into wooden and metal rollers to crush and extract the sugar cane juice and also operating the sugar cane broiler.

This preference was because:

  • For economic reasons, though the slaves were bought, the human value of the slaves was never considered. The value of the end product was highly priced. Human slave life was easily replaced by the masters.
  • And since working the sugar mills was a highly hazardous activity lives were frequently lost as the mill rollers were know to have crushed to death and maimed many slaves. In most parts of the world where African slaves were used, female slaves were sold at a cheaper value  than their male counterparts. Therefore it stands to reason that the slaves masters would prefer the female slaves  regarded as "cheaper replacements"
  • Since work in the mills had to work 24 hours none stop, the environment had to be washed, swept frequently and  kept clean to sustain a minimum level of cleaness and higiene. Female slaves were considered ideal for this as well.

Exploration caused ideas to spread, new plants to be discovered (helped prevente, luumu
Elenna [48]

Answer:

Yes exploration was worth it

Explanation:

The era of exploration was a period of new discovery.

Even though this era came with several negative changes such as spread of diseases, slavery, imperialism, loss of land. It also has a lot of positives which in my opinion justifies this era.

The discovery that was made during the period of exploration had tremendous effect on economic, social and political situations in many areas of the world. Trade and industry experienced a tremendous growth, ideas were birthed and exchanged as well as technology, plants and animals. Also there was the discovery of new routes, like routes to India and the americas. This age brought about advances in navigation which was used by future travellers.

Thank you!

Cambio cultural de Religión en México Prehispánico al sistema Virreinal
Nadya [2.5K]

El cambio cultural de religión que ocurrió en la transición de la época prehispánica a la época virreinal en México fue la imposición del cristianismo y el rechazo a otros cultos.

<h3>Qué significa el término prehispánico?</h3>

El término prehispánico, se refiere a todos los eventos y características de las comunidades de:

  • América Central
  • América del Sur
  • América del Norte
  • Islas del Caribe

antes de la llegada de los españoles en el año 1492.

En general, se sabe que las comunidades prehispánicas tenían complejos sistemas de creencias basados en eventos naturales que asociaban con dioses, es decir, eran politeístas.

Una vez llegan los españoles a finales del siglo XV y comienzan exploraciones e invasiones durante el siglo XVI, tuvieron la tarea de imponer la religión que ellos profesaban, el cristianismo.

De acuerdo a lo anterior, se puede inferir que el cambio cultural de la religión que hubo como resultado de la invasión española fue el cambio de religiones politeístas basadas en eventos naturales a el cristianismo.
