Slavery provided virtually free labor in the south, but for what?

History

inessss [21]3 years ago

Slavery provided virtually free labor in the south, but for "agricultural products such as cotton, tobacco, and sugar cane".

<u>Explanation:</u>

The method of cultivation (agriculture) grew in South America when British colonist colonized in Virginia. They separated the territory with wide area to best utilise for farming. This was the reason that their prosperity depended on production of crops, created the slavery due to requirement of agricultural workers. Such plantations yielded significant colony-traded crops, like cotton and tobacco.

The plantation was like one small family-owned town. But the inadequate nutrition, unhealthy living environments and forced labour made slaves more vulnerable than their landlords; disease-related death rates among the slaves were dramatically higher.

What was the Dust Bowl? How could we have stopped it from happening?
PtichkaEL [24]
Let’s start with the basics first… The Dust Bowl was the name given to the drought-stricken Southern Plains region of the United States, which suffered severe dust storms during a dry period in the 1930s. As high winds and choking dust swept the region from Texas to Nebraska, people and livestock were killed and crops failed across the entire region. The massive dust storms caused farmers to lose their livelihoods and their homes. Deflation from the Depression aggravated the plight of Dust Bowl farmers. Prices for the crops they could grow fell below subsistence levels. In 1932, the federal government sent aid to the drought-affected states. Now here is why it stopped or how we stopped it. While the dust was greatly reduced thanks to ramped up conservation efforts and sustainable farming practices, the drought was still in full effect in April of 1939. In the fall of 1939, rain finally returned in significant amounts to many areas of the Great Plains, signaling the end of the Dust Bowl. Hope this helps!

Montesquieu came up with separation of power - how did james madison use his theory to create our government structure
lys-0071 [83]
Madison understood that power can corrupt as seen with the kings of their time. So Madison set up the form of government that relies on separate branches of government that operates under checks and balances. This means that no one branch can get too powerful and overrule the other branches. We see this in modern government in the legislative, executive and judicial branches. Madison improved upon the idea that power cannot be held by one man or a few people.
