1.What was causing people to leave Sandwich?
- Due to the Black Plague an extremely devastating pandemic of Bubonic plague that was peaking during the exact same era throughout all of Europe. The mortality rate was extremely high and it would end up killing a third of the population of Europe.
2. What are the two reasons listed in the document that explain why the government would want to keep the people in the town?
- The first is to avoid the spreading of the disease by the migration of infected individuals and/or groups. The second is to avoid the flight of capital and or people who were needed by the English realm in order to properly function.
3. Make a reasonable conclusion based on your knowledge from this unit and the reading and explain: What would be the long-term economic and social effects on Sandwich and England if people were allowed to leave?
- Had all people been allowed to leave, the whole town would have been deserted, probably never to be inhabited again. A good portion of its inhabitants might have fled to other parts of England, worsening the pandemic and the others would have gone to the France, were England was waging the Hundred Years’ War against the French. Since many of these people might have been infected, their presence in the English-controlled parts of France might worsen the already damaging pandemic and weaken the English war effort. For England the effect would have been overall destructive due to these reasons.
<u>Sharecropping</u> is an arrangement with a land owner who rents out their land to a farmer for the payment of a percentage of the crop instead of cash.
<em><u>The land owner</u></em> get 50% of the profits without effort or risk.
If the crop failed, <u><em>the sharecroppers</em></u> could not pay off the loan for the seed. <u><em>The sharecroppers</em></u> then were in debt to the landowner at the start of the next growing season. The result was that <u><em>the sharecropper</em></u> though free were enslaved to the landowner by the debt
The correct answer is: "<em><u>The sharecroppers were benefited least from a sharecropping arrangement, they did all of the work, took all of the risks, and got very little in return</u></em>".

If you mean WW2, its because America wanted isolationism and didn't want to fight in the war. They were able to stay out of it for as long as they did because they didn't take sides.
