History is true. Or else why would we learn it?
Answer:
The vast majority of labor was unpaid. The only enslaved person at Monticello who received something approximating a wage was George Granger, Sr., who was paid $65 a year (about half the wage of a white overseer) when he served as Monticello overseer.Life expectancy was short, on many plantations only 7-9 years.Industrial slaves worked twelve hours per day, six days per week. The only breaks they received were for a short lunch during the day, and Sunday or the occasional holiday during the week.Fearing that black literacy would prove a threat to the slave system -- which relied on slaves' dependence on masters -- whites in many colonies instituted laws forbidding slaves to learn to read or write and making it a crime for others to teach them.However, the health of plantation slaves was far worse than that of whites. Unsanitary conditions, inadequate nutrition and unrelenting hard labor made slaves highly susceptible to disease. Illnesses were generally not treated adequately, and slaves were often forced to work even when sick.Slaves were punished by whipping, shackling, beating, mutilation, branding, and/or imprisonment. Punishment was most often meted out in response to disobedience or perceived infractions, but masters or overseers sometimes abused slaves to assert dominance.
Answer:
Yes the New Economic Policy allowed government to tax peasants on a given percentage of their produce.
Explanation:
the Bolshevik government adopted this policy. It was the economic policy of the Soviet Union from 1921 to 1928.
Peasants were allowed to own and cultivate lands while paying taxes to the state. In the NEP, agriculture, retail trade, and small-scale light industry were returned to private ownership and management while the state retained control of heavy industry, transport, banking, and foreign trade.
from 1928-1929 there were grain shortages, Joseph Stalin forcibly eliminated private control of land and returned it to government control.
