Although the tenant/sharecropping system is usually thought of as a development that occurred after the Civil War, this type of farming existed in antebellum Mississippi, especially in the areas of the state with few slaves or plantations, such as northeast Mississippi.
Not all whites who emigrated to even the poorest parts of Mississippi in the years before the Civil War had the funds to purchase a farm. As a result, most of the men who headed these households worked as tenant farmers or sharecroppers. Many rented land from or farmed on shares with family members and typically received favorable arrangements, but some antebellum tenants or sharecroppers had to deal with landlords who were primarily concerned with making profits rather than helping struggling farmers move toward landownership.
Consider the sharecropping arrangement that Richard Bridges of Marshall County worked out with his landlord, T. L. Treadwell, in the 1850s. Treadwell provided Bridges with land, livestock, and tools; the landlord also advanced Bridges some food. Bridges grew corn and cotton, and at the end of the year, he had to give Treadwell one-sixth of the corn he grew and five-sixths of the cotton raised. From his share of the crop, Bridges also had to pay Treadwell for the use of the livestock and tools and for the food advanced. Obviously, Bridges worked the entire year primarily for the food he needed to live. He had no opportunity to make any money from this arrangement and accumulate the capital that would allow him to purchase his own farm.
The right answer is more than likely C because because the British had an inexperienced army. Although the British did inflict significant causalities to the army it was a clear victory for the Americans.
Answer:
In Rwanda the cause of the genocide was “restoration of historical justice,” while in Bosnia it was more of a territorial and interfaith problem.
Explanation:
In the 1994 genocide, 800,000 people were killed in Rwanda. As a result of the three-year conflict in the former Yugoslavia, more than 100 thousand people died, and about two million were forced to leave their homes.
First, German and then Belgian colonists supported the power of the Tutsi. The reason was the origin of the Tutsi: Europeans reasoned that if this tribe used to live in northern Africa, it means that it is genetically closer to the Caucasian race and has superiority over the Hutus. The position of the Hutus was getting worse and more disenfranchised.
Simultaneously with the fall of the Soviet Union, many other communist regimes, including the Yugoslav one, shook. So, by 1991, Slovenia and Croatia withdrew from the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. If the first of the republics resolved the issue of independence through a referendum, the second made a unilateral declaration of secession from Yugoslavia. Following the neighbors, Bosnia and Herzegovina decided to become independent, but the population of this republic was so heterogeneous that the proposed option did not suit everyone. The supporters of independent Bosnia and Herzegovina were mostly Bosnian Muslims, who made up almost half of the country's population, as well as Croat Catholics who did not want to follow the Orthodox Serbs, who made up about a third of the republic’s population.
