Explain how the outcome of the Civil War led freedman into debt peonage

Verdich [7]3 years ago

Answer:

The Civil war ended with the defeat of the Confederacy by the Union and the Emancipation of enslaved people in the United States. This 'robbed' Southern Landowners of their means to free/ cheap labor and so they became innovative in order to keep free labor legally.

The primary way they did this was through Debt peonage which refers to making a person work for no pay in order to pay off a debt owed.

Some ways they got black freemen into Debt Peonage include;

Sharecropping

Black people would lease land from Southern White Land owners and in return would promise to give them a share of the harvest.

The landowners would give them tools, seeds and other things needed to farm but the cost of those would be added to the share of the harvest to give to the whites.

This meant that when harvests or prices were low, the blacks would get into debt with the whites which they would have to pay off in subsequent periods thereby potentially keeping them in perpetual slavery as they were not allowed to leave the farms until their debt was done.

Corruption

Sometimes State and local police would pick up black people for the most minor of crimes and charge them high legal and bail fees which could be paid off by a wealthy landowner if they agreed to work off the debt. Sometimes the documents relating to the debt would then be lost leading to the black people being unable to escape the system.

What is the correct sociological term for all people with a common status, such as "college students"?
otez555 [7]

Answer:A social category

Explanation:A social category is a collective number of people who all have similar characteristics eventhough they don't interact. For example, women, men, the elderly, and college school students all fall under social categories. A social category can transform or convert into a social group if people under social category start to interact with each other.

People who are found in the same place and who have similar characteristics but who do not interact are called social aggregates.

rjkz [21]

Answer:

Frictionally unemployed.

Explanation:

As the exercise suggests, Kara is frictionally unemployed. A frictionally unemployed individual is that which is looking for work in a healthy, helping economy. It does not matter if the person, in this case Kara, has been fired or had quitted her job; what matters is that the economy enables her to take part in this normal labor turnover. She got her degree and she is looking for a position in management but nothing indicates she is in a context of crisis or lack of employement, therefore, she is only frictionally unemployed.
