Why was severe an appropriate name for the overseer?

History

Neko [114]2 years ago

Severe was appropriate because it described their behavior. They were strict, cruel, ruthless, and severe to the slaves. If the slaves were tired or couldn't work or were perceived as problematic in any way, they would get flogged or severely beaten or even killed without any regard for them or for others in general.

Frederick Douglass wrote, “When the true history of the antislavery cause shall be written women will occupy a large space in it
serg [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

First of all, you have to accept that the statement was utterly true at the time that Douglass uttered it. He could have picked any civilization or any culture and any time period up until the late 1900s and it would have been true.  

Douglass influenced the feminist movement because he was a man, an influential one, who recognized historical truth for what it was. It was particularly true of black women although they had hardly anything to do with the feminist movement. Black women of influence like Sojourner Truth and Harriett Tubman were few and far between.

You could look at the old testament to see how the law tried to protect women. By and large, I'm not convinced it worked. Women were respected and revered, but they were the property of their parents and then their husbands. Their bloodline was far more important than they were as human beings.

So man like Douglass saying anything at all was going to be taken seriously by the feminist movement.

Were human beings better off after the Neolithic Revolution?
worty [1.4K]

i personally think so but somtimes think no, The Neolithic Revolution, Neolithic Demographic Transition, Agricultural Revolution, or First Agricultural Revolution, was the wide-scale transition of many human cultures during the Neolithic period from a lifestyle of hunting and gathering to one of agriculture and settlement, making an increasingly larger population possible. These settled communities permitted humans to observe and experiment with plants to learn how they grew and developed. This new knowledge led to the domestication of plants.


Archaeological data indicates that the domestication of various types of plants and animals happened in separate locations worldwide, starting in the geological epoch of the Holocene[4] around 12,500 years ago.[5] It was the world's first historically verifiable revolution in agriculture. The Neolithic Revolution greatly narrowed the diversity of foods available, resulting in a downturn in human nutrition.


The Neolithic Revolution involved far more than the adoption of a limited set of food-producing techniques. During the next millennia it would transform the small and mobile groups of hunter-gatherers that had hitherto dominated human pre-history into sedentary (non-nomadic) societies based in built-up villages and towns. These societies radically modified their natural environment by means of specialized food-crop cultivation, with activities such as irrigation and deforestation which allowed the production of surplus food. Other developments found very widely are the domestication of animals, pottery, polished stone tools, and rectangular houses.


These developments, sometimes called the Neolithic package, provided the basis for densely populated settlements, specialization and division of labour, more trade, the development of non-portable art and architecture, centralized administrations and political structures, hierarchical ideologies, depersonalized systems of knowledge (e.g. writing), and property ownership. The earliest known civilization developed in Sumer in southern Mesopotamia (c. 5,500 BP); its emergence also heralded the beginning of the Bronze Age.


The relationship of the above-mentioned Neolithic characteristics to the onset of agriculture, their sequence of emergence, and empirical relation to each other at various Neolithic sites remains the subject of academic debate, and varies from place to place, rather than being the outcome of universal laws of social evolution. The Levant saw the earliest developments of the Neolithic Revolution from around 10,000 BCE, followed by sites in the wider Fertile Crescent.
