How was life in towns different from life on the manor?

History

Yanka [14]3 years ago

Well, people who lived on a manor were very much self-sufficient. They grew most of their own food, and peasant women spun and wove wool and flax into cloth to make the family's clothing, made their own butter and cheese, brewed their own ale,and would make household items like candles and soap. 

In towns, people would be more likely to buy a lot of things ready-made from shops and markets. There would be more specialised tradesmen and craftsmen than there would be in a village. 

In both town and country, families tended to be involved in the family enterrpise, whatever it might be. In the country, all family members would labour on the family farm, in the town the whole family might be involved in the family business or trade, whatever it might be. 

In a manor, the inhabitants would be subjec to a large extent to the will of the Lord of the manor, and would owe him labour services on his won farm (demesne), and if they were serfs they were not free to leave unless the lord gave them permission. In the towns, most people were free and lived their lives independent of the will of a lord (hence the saying 'town air makes you free'). 

In both town and country, the church was an important part of people's lives. A church was not just for church services, often the building was used for secular purposes as well, in the village it would be used for meetings of the manor court, in towns it might be used for meetings of the town council, guild meetings etc. 

In the country, women were normally expected to be the family doctors, and would be expected to make home rmeedies for ailments, be able to stitch up wounds, set broken bones etc. In a town, people would be more likely to have access to a doctor or apothecary, or to a barber-surgeon. 

Another major difference of course would be that far more people in those days lived in the country than in towns, the manorial way of life would be more familiar to a far greater number of people than town life.

One of the major goals of all interest groups is
ra1l [238]

Answer:

C) persuade public opinion to be in agreement with their

respective views

Explanation:

The concept of “interests group” was introduced into the scientific circulation by the American scientist Arthur Bentley (1908). By this term, he understood a variety of organized groups of people with specific goals and specific requirements for political power.

Interest groups are trying to influence the government, to adjust the political decisions made in their interests. Moreover, interest groups do not seek to gain power - this is their key difference from party groups. However, this does not mean that interest groups do not delegate their representatives to state authorities and do not contribute to the development of their political career. However, this is done for the sake of more effective political influence and the realization of their interests.

3. Why did sugar farmers bring African slaves to the Americas?
AlekseyPX

Because the only way (back then) to process and make sugar farms was through manual labor. Since the Americans didn't want to put effort onto their own sugar farms, Africans were forced to do the labor part for them.
