The correct answer is C) The Native American population was reduced and African slaves were needed to work on the sugar plantations.

The statement that explains why African slavery was introduced to the Americas is "The Native American population was reduced and African slaves were needed to work on the sugar plantations."

The American colonists knew that the soil in most American territories was fertile and started to grow crops. But to make it profitable, the plantations needed extra hands. There were few Americans that could farm the land and that is why they started to buy slaves from Africa. Slaves were transported in inhumane conditions in overcrowded ships from Africa to the Americas, the Americas exported raw materials and cash crops to Europe, and Europe sent ships to Africa, forming a trade triangle.

What’s the purpose of the war
joja [24]

Answer:

the main purpose of war is destruction....

Explanation:

<em>War serves to provide a definitive answer to a dispute. War may kill many people in a short time but a bad peace will kill more and worse destroy more lives. It is just a slower evil. Nations or elements in nations are experiments. Conflicting idealologies fight for supremacy and when that fight reaches a stalemate war is the only way to break it without decades of slow simmering conflict that often creates the most violent outbursts and is most typically associated with genocide. Hatreds boil for too long and what happens when they boil over is often the worst evils attributed to war. Ironically they are really the evils of a bad peace. A peace kept too long when a short violent episode could have resolved the matter and real peace developed.</em>

Which best describes how media coverage influences elections?
rjkz [21]

Media coverage gives voters an impression of the candidates.


Because much of media coverage comes in very brief news segments and even short "sound bites," it tends to provide an impression of the candidates, without necessarily providing in-depth presentation and analysis of their views. This varies, of course, depending on which "media" you have in mind with the question. Committed news organizations which employ highly skilled journalists will do deeper pieces on candidates and their views or policies -- see, for instance, articles in The New York Times or Washington Post or The Atlantic.


There are many new forms of media--such as social media websites and politically-aligned cable networks--where people can go to get biased perspectives and be told how to vote or not to vote. But the most respected media outets strive to present a full picture and cover all candidates. Still, because most voters will watch or read only portions of news media coverage, the best answer is that media tends to give voters an impression of candidates -- which sometimes is less complete than the full picture.

How was the impact of being a female convict different to that of being a male convict?
Serga [27]

Answer:

Nearly 12,500 women were transported to Van Diemen's Land, mostly for petty theft. This was roughly the same number as were sent to New South Wales. Two-thirds arrived after 1840, when transportation to New South Wales ceased. There were three phases of female transportation to Van Diemen's Land: exile or open prison (1803–13), assignment (1814–42), and probation (1843–53). In each, the numbers of convict women arriving in Van Diemen's Land increased, and they were subjected to more severe penal conditions.

From 1803 to 1813, about ninety convict women arrived. As the colonial population grew, so did the demand for female convict labour. Convict women were employed in domestic service, washing and on government farms, and were expected to find their own food and lodging. Punishment for those who transgressed was humiliating and public. Exile itself was considered a catalyst for reform. Economic and social opportunities allowed significantly improved circumstances for some convict women, while others struggled.

During the second period, from 1814 to 1842, just over 5400 female convicts arrived. In 1840, the number increased significantly when transportation to New South Wales ceased, and all female convicts were shipped to Van Diemen's Land. In this second period, transportation of convict women was characterised by the development of clearly articulated policies with an unequivocal economic and moral focus. Convict women were assigned as domestic labour, and were encouraged to reform though a system of rewards and indulgences, such as the ticket-of-leave, which permitted the holder to work for any employer for wages and to choose her own residence.
