Answer:

Explanation: The claim the Christopher Columbus discovered America is not true. Below are some claims that proves this discovery as untrue.

1. Christopher Columbus made four separate trips that started with the one in 1492. Columbus landed on various Caribbean islands  that are now the Bahamas as well as the island later called Hispaniola. He also explored the Central and South American coasts. But he didn’t reach North America which of course was already inhabited by Native Americans and he never thought he had found a new continent.

2. Christopher Columbus introduced the Americas to Western Europe during his four voyages to the region between 1492 and 1502. He paved the way for the massive influx of western Europeans that ultimately form several new nations including the United States, Canada and Mexico.  But he never discovered America because there were plenty of people already there when he arrived.

Why did Spanish plantation owners in the West Indies begin using enslaved Africans instead of enslaved natives?
adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

Correct answer is European diseases had killed much of the native workforce.

Explanation:

As we all know around 90 percent of Natives died because of the diseases and other problems that were brought to them by Europeans. That is why they could only turn themselves to slave trade. Slaves were usually imported from Africa.

Other answers are false, especially options one and three, which have no connection with historical events. When it comes to option 4 it was actually pretty often that Africans would sell slaves to Europeans.

List and explain four new methods or inventions in agriculture in this era.
ipn [44]

Answer:

1. Cotton Gin: In colonial times, cotton cloth was more expensive than linen or wool because of the extreme difficulty of separating seed from the clinging fibers. One man could pick the seeds from only about 1 pound of cotton fiber per day.

2. Reaper/Binder: Small grains had been harvested by hand for centuries, cut with sickles or scythes, hand-raked and tied into sheaves. Grain harvesting machines first appeared in Great Britain in about 1800, and in the U.S. a decade or two later, but most failed. Obed Hussey and Cyrus McCormick developed successful reapers during the 1830s. 

3. Thresher: When grain was being cut by hand, the method for separating the kernels from the straw was equally slow and labor intensive. Grain was hauled to a barn where it was spread on a threshing floor and either beaten with hand flails or trampled by animals. That knocked the kernels free of the straw, which was then raked away. The remaining mixture was winnowed by tossing it into the air where the wind was relied upon to blow the chaff and lighter debris away from the heavier grain, which fell back onto the threshing floor.

4. Combined Harvester-Thresher: By the 1920s the steam traction engine was on it's way out, but it paved the way for the gasoline tractors that followed.
