The Southern Colonies were ideal for cash crops but those crops require a large labor source. Initially, Native Americans were used for labor but they were too familiar with the land and were more likely to runaway. The colonies then began a system of indentured servitude. This system worked well because it eased population tension in England as well as serving as cheap labor for plantations. This system posed a problem however, indentured servants eventually earned freedom and were gifted land which was running in short supply.

When the first boat load of Africans arrived in the colones in 1619 it was a fluke, a lost boat looking to part with the cargo and move on. The Africans on board were allowed to stay in the colonies and were treated as indentured servants. Again, like white servants this posed a problem. Eventually the system changed from servitude to slavery which kept African slaves in a system of labor for a lifetime. Slaves worked on medium to large farms and plantations as field hands as well as house slaves. Laws were passed in the late 17th century restricting the legal rights of slaves preventing them from having legal marriages, education, rights to property or earnings, and rules for runaways and revolts.

Some of the Southern colonies were worried about slave systems for two major reasons. One, slaves meant larger farms and therefore less opportunity for lower class and middle class farmers to have a family farm. Second, it meant whites being outnumbered by black slaves and the potential for violence was a possibility. Georgia was so concerned with the downside of a slave system that the colony outlawed slavery initially.

Write a newspaper article for Ida B. Wells’s newspaper about lynching in the South during the Jim Crow era.
ValentinkaMS [17]

The oldest of eight children, Ida B. Wells was born in Holly Springs, Mississippi. Her parents, who were very active in the Republican Party during Reconstruction, died in a yellow fever epidemic in the late 1870s. Wells attended Rust College and then became a teacher in Memphis, Tennessee. Shortly after she arrived, Wells was involved in an altercation with a white conductor while riding the railroad. She had purchased a first-class ticket, and was seated in the ladies car when the conductor ordered her to sit in the Jim Crow (i.e. black) section, which did not offer first-class accommodations. She refused and when the conductor tried to remove her, she "fastened her teeth on the back of his hand." Wells was ejected from the train, and she sued. She won her case in a lower court, but the decision was reversed in an appeals court.

What are the two formal duties of the vice president? What are the three parts of the executive branch? What were the Constituti
frutty [35]
Preside over the Senate and cast tie breaker votes.  of the executive branch - the Executive Office of the President, the Cabinet, and the independent agencies.Under the original rules of the Constitution, each member of the Electoral College cast two electoral votes, with no distinction made between electoral votes for president and electoral votes for vice president. The presidential candidate receiving the greatest number of votes provided that number equaled a majority of the electors, was elected president, while the presidential candidate receiving the second-most votes was elected vice president. In cases where no individual won a vote from a majority of the electors, as well in cases where multiple individuals won a majority but tied each other for the most votes, the House of Representatives would hold a contingent election to select the president. In cases where multiple candidates tied for the second-most votes, the Senate would hold a contingent election to select the vice president. The first four presidential elections were conducted under these rules.

The experiences of the 1796 and 1800 presidential elections spurred legislators to amend the presidential election process, requiring each member of the Electoral College to cast one electoral vote for president and one electoral vote for vice president. Under the new rules, a contingent election is still held by the House of Representatives if no candidate wins a presidential electoral vote from a majority of the electors, but there is no longer any possibility of multiple candidates winning presidential electoral votes from a majority of electors. The Twelfth Amendment also contained other provisions, lowering the number of candidates eligible to be selected by the House in a presidential contingent election from five to three, establishing that the Senate would hold a contingent election for vice president if no candidate won a majority of the vice presidential electoral vote, and providing that no individual constitutionally ineligible to the office of president would be eligible to serve as vice president.
