Who started slavery?

History
1 answer:
const2013 [10]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

"Slavery started in America in 1619, when a Dutch ship transported the first African slaves to Jamestown, Va. The slaves were brought to work the New World's crops."

Explanation:

"Because America had no laws to govern slavery, the earliest slaves were treated like indentured servants who could work for several years to earn their freedom. America's first slave laws were passed in 1641, taking away any hope of eventual freedom. Most slaves were purchased by landowners in the Southern colonies where the economy centered around indigo, rice and tobacco crops until the late 1700s. When the cotton gin was invented in 1793, many southern plantation owners switched to growing cotton, becoming even more dependent on inexpensive slave labor."

What did the Pittsburgh times refer to New Mexico citizen as?
Andre45 [30]

Answer: As "a mongrel population too ignorant and lazy to assume the privilege of full citizenship."

Explanation:

New Mexico was initially a Spanish colony, over the years its population grew composed mainly of Mestizos, and American Indians who were the original inhabitants of the territory. Later it became part of Mexico.

In 1846 it was invaded by the United States, and later, in 1848, it was acquired by the United States, along with Arizona, as part of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, and bought for 15 million dollars.

However, it was given a status of the territory, and not state, due to disagreement about declaring it a slave state or a free state, and also considering it as a Spanish colony with a very large Spanish-speaking population.

Despite this opposition, in 1912 it was officially declared the 47th state of the American Union.

Why were students better able than adults to organize a protest from the movie Selma
Alexxandr [17]

The students who marched at Selma were better prepared in a sense that unlike their adult counterparts, they were already briefed on what to expect when this march began.  Youth was also their biggest asset as they were energized and determined to promote the civil rights movement in the South. Even before the march, they were already veterans of other movements for equal rights.
