An act passed after the French and Indian war is the Townshend Acts. Hope this helps!
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.

Answer:
In my opinion the most important amendment passed during this time was the 19th amendment because it gave every citizen no matter their sex, the right to vote. Another reason I believe this amendment was important is that it seemed to specifically target women's right to vote, since white and black men could already vote at the time, and this amendment is important to our politics today.
The least important of these amendments was the 18th amendment because it prohibited the sale of intoxicating liquors. This amendment also contributed to more problems such as the establishment of speakeasies and encouraged smuggling.
Explanation:
The 16th amendment gives Congress the power to lay and collect income taxes.
The 17th amendment states the qualifications, term limits, and number of Senators each state gets (which is 2 per state). The term is 6 years, and each Senator has one vote.
The 18th amendment bans intoxicating liquor. This was during the prohibition days. However, the amendment has been overturned in recent times (of course).
The 19th amendments gives every citizen the right to vote, not matter their sex/gender.
The 20th amendment outlines the end of a President/Vice President's and Senators/Representatives' term. It also states how often Congress meet.
