History

Answer:

Plantation agriculture was labor-intensive, meaning, that it needed many workers.

Besides, it mostly consisted of cash crops like tobacco, rice, sugar cane, and cotton, that have to be cultivated regions that have very warm and humid climates like the Southeastern United States, and the Caribbean.

For these two reasons, plantation owners needed a vast supply of cheap workers, who could endure the difficult conditions of heat, humidity, and tropical diseases like malaria.

The best labor they found were African slaves: they were numerous, they were cheap, and they could resist tropical diseases because most of these diseases were already present in Africa.

Read the sentence from the section "Capitalism."
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

Capitalism was built on the exploitation and suffering of black slaves and continues to thrive on the exploitation of the poor”

Explanation:

King understood well the connection between poverty and capitalism. The year before his death, on 31 August 1967, he delivered “The Three Evils of Society” speech at the first and only National Conference on New Politics in Chicago.

When we foolishly maximize the minimum and minimize the maximum we sign the warrant for our own day of doom.It is this moral lag in our thing-oriented society that blinds us to the human reality around us and encourages us in the greed and exploitation which creates the sector of poverty in the midst of wealth. Again we have deluded ourselves into believing the myth that Capitalism grew and prospered out of the protestant ethic of hard word and sacrifice. The fact is that Capitalism was build on the exploitation and suffering of black slaves and continues to thrive on the exploitation of the poor—both black and white, both here and abroad. . .The way to end poverty is to end the exploitation of the poor.

That’s the kind of analysis that made King so controversial in mainstream circles in his later years, and that has remained buried for the past 50 years under the exclusive focus on dreams and mountaintops.

mylen [45]

The main idea of Toussaint L'Ouverture in this passage is that after being the first black republic carried out by slaves successfully in the world (Haiti in 1804), the citizens would not allow other countries, such as Great Britain or Spain, to take possession of their land again and get back to the situation and life they lived in slavery.
