What effect did the Transylvania Purchase have on the Watauga settlement

Social Studies

Helga [31]3 years ago
4 0

The Transylvania Colony was  founded during 1775 by Richard Henderson, who controlled the North Carolina-based Transylvania Company. He and his investors reached an agreement to purchase a vast tract of Cherokee lands. Later on, the Wilderness Road was established going from Cumberland Gap into Southeastern Kentucky. The Watauga settlement was the site of this “real state” transaction: the Transylvania Purchase. The Watauga leaders asked the Cherokee to convert the lease of lands into a purchase.

However, this created serious disagreements and heat discussions in such a way the tribe had to appeal both Virginia and North Carolina for support to the defeat of the British.  In 1780 England again invaded the southern colonies The consequence was the Battle of King's Mountain (1780), in which the British force was destroyed. As we can see, the Wataugans had a key role in the failure of the British master plan of 1780 and the following collapse of efforts to control the colonies.

After the Revolution,a group of the Wataugans  wanted to create their own state of Franklin. In August 1784,a state government was hastily constructed. North Carolina, seeing most of its western lands usurped by the mountain men, contested the existence of the state. Anyways, by 1788 the state ceased to exist. The legacy of the Watauga Settlement remains as the county stands as a heritage of being part of the first community west of the Appalachians.

The _________________ argument points out that if an employer reacts to poor business conditions by reducing pay for all workers
Anna71 [15]

Answer: ADVERSE SELECTION OF WAGE CUTS

Explanation:

This phenomenon refers to situational where the best employees leave a job because they feel their productivity is higher than they are bring paid for. Conversely, the lesser attractive employees stay because they are being paid equitably or even more than their productivity.

The effect of this can be even more reduced productivity.

For example,

Parrain Inc in response to low productivity drops salaries to $10 an hour for the manufacturing of pencils. Each employee is required to make 30 pencils an hour. Some employees make 40 pencils an hour and feel they are not being well compensated and leave.

This will drop the amount of pencils Parrain Inc is producing. They respond by reducing salaries again which now prompts those that were making 35 pencils an hour to leave. Productivity drops again and the cycle repeats.
