Once africans boarded the slave ships for the journey to the americas, what had become of them?

History
1 answer:
weeeeeb [17]3 years ago
8 0

Answer: About 30% of them died during the voyage

Explanation: The journey was between 6 to 8 weeks, with the Africans tightly packed together to maximise the profits for any given trip. This led to poor hygiene and before long there was dysentery on the ships. Dysentery was the single biggest killer on board slave ships during the middle passage and on average 30% of the human cargo didn't make it to America.

The survivors of the inhumane voyage were sold into servitude, mostly plantations for agriculture. In some colonial states like Virginia, slavery even became a heritable condition based on the mother's status.

Why did a division of labor occur when people started to produce a surplus of food?
kirill [66]
A division of labor occurred when people started producing a surplus of food because it was no longer necessary to use all of the labor force to subsist off of agricultural goods. Once a society or community can produce enough to survive and eat the labor force will begin to work in other industries creating a division of labor this could include making textiles, building homes, or any other number of economic activities.

The Guano Islands Act (11 Stat. 119, enacted August 18, 1856, codified at 48 U.S.C. ch. 8 §§ 1411-1419) is a United States federal law passed by the U.S. Congress that enables citizens of the United States to take possession, in the name of the United States, of unclaimed islands containing guano deposits. The islands can be located anywhere, so long as they are not occupied and not within the jurisdiction of another government. It also empowers the President of the United States to use the military to protect such interests and establishes the criminal jurisdiction of the United States in these territories.
