How did the southern economy become dependent upon cotton and slavery?

History

boyakko [2]3 years ago

Congress outlawed the foreign slave trade in 1808, but there was a high birthrate among enslaved women, which meant the enslaved population would keep on growing. When the cotton production rose, everybody wanted to have skates to harvest their cotton for them, and the fact that the enslaved population was growing was even more convenient for them. So why did they become to dependent? Because farming cotton was hard work that the Southerners did not want to do. The best solution for them was to buy slaves, who would do the hard work for them and cost them barely nothing.

When cotton gun was invented in 1793, the impact was profound. In 1792, the year before cotton gin was invented, the South produced only about 6,000 bales of cotton annually. In 1801 the annual production reached 100,000 bales which is almost 17 times as much as it was nine years ago. The invention of cotton gin also cause people to be more in need for slaves; between 1820 and 1850, the number of slaves in the South rose from 1.5 million to nearly 4 million.

Hope this helped! :)

The southern economy becomes dependent upon cotton and slavery through cotton gin plant.

Explanation:

More cotton needed more slaves and allowed them to produce more cotton, so they needed more slaves. Defenders of subjugation contended that the unexpected end to the slave economy would have had a significant and executing financial effect in the South, where dependence on slave work was the establishment of their economy. Thus the cotton economy would fall, the tobacco yield would dry in the fields and rice would stop being productive.

Describe the German persecution of the Jews leading up to the Holocaust.
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

The Jews enjoyed all rights of citizenship in Germany before the Nazis took over power. This led to the German government excluding the Jews from public life and public education. By 1938,  the discrimination became so strong that German authorities had to isolate and segregate German Jews, leading to removing them from professional institutions  and eliminating most opportunities for the Jews to earn a living.

The German government had enacted a lot of laws and regulations that defined the lives of the German Jews, separated and impoverished them. All these happened between 1933 to 1939.

The aim of Nazi government or propaganda was majorly  to demonize Jews and to also  encourage Germans to see Jews as dangerous people in their midst. After 1935, a public display of antisemitism created  an atmosphere of great hostility toward Jews in Germany. In March 1938, the German troops had moved into Austria. The Germans merged Adolf Hitler’s homeland with Germany. This  was a total disaster for Austrian Jews. Because within a year, the Nazis achieved in Austria what had taken five years to carry out in Germany.

On November 9th, the Nazi Party organised  an anti-Jewish violence throughout Greater Germany. This  attack was lawless  and this outraged the world and brought about criticism of the regime by many Germans. At this time, Jewish businesses had already suffered antisemitic attacks were targeted for deliberate vandalism disguised as spontaneous public action. Party officials directed the SA, SS and Hitler Youth to destroy Jewish shops and torch synagogues. The nationwide violence damaged or destroyed more than 250 synagogues. The German police filled the concentration camps with thousands of Jewish inmates. This events led to the Holocaust killing over six million Jews.

How would the proclamation of 1763 conflict with the concept of natural rights
Volgvan
The Royal Proclamation of 1763 was issued October 7, 1763, by King George III following Great Britain's acquisition of French territoryin North America after the end of the French and Indian War/Seven Years' War, which forbade all settlement west of a line drawn along the Appalachian Mountains.[1] It rendered worthless land grants given by the British government to Americans who fought for the crown against France. The Proclamation angered American colonists who wanted to continue their westward expansion into new farm lands and wanted to keep their control of local government. The Royal Proclamation continues to be of legal importance to First Nations in Canada. The 1763 proclamation line is similar to the Eastern Continental Divide's path running northwards from Georgia to the Pennsylvania–New York border, and north-eastwards past the drainage divide on the St. Lawrence Divide from there northwards through New England.
