Which of the following was a draw for indentured servants coming to the Americans?

History
1 answer:
Finger [1]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Mostly money and promise of the American dream.

Many poor Europeans and other immigrants heard about the Americans and their lavish lives and wanted to try their luck and escape their poverty. However, they didn't have enough money to emigrate to America which is why they would become indentured servants.

This meant that they would sign a contract with their employer who would then pay for their travel expenses to America, and in turn they would have to work for them for a number of years in return for food and shelter. When the contract expired, ideally the indentured servant became free (although this didn't always happen). Their status was slightly better than that of a slave.

(Since you didn't give us any options, I can't tell you the exact answer).

Which statement best sums up the impact of the French Revolution on South American revolutions?
Ann [662]

The correct answer is When Napoleon invaded Spain, it gave the South American revolutionaries the chance to challenge the power of the crumbling Spanish colonialist government.

The French Revolution marked the rise of the bourgeoisie as a dominant social class, overcoming the landowning aristocracy, as well as the creation of new institutions and new ways of organizing the economic, political and social life that would expand throughout the planet.

With the French Revolution, capitalism broke through the feudal political obstacles that still prevailed in Western Europe, joining the economic transformations unleashed with the Industrial Revolution.

These changes had been prepared since the 17th and 18th centuries, with the development of Enlightenment rational thought. For the Enlightenment, reason could assist all men in explaining the phenomena of nature and the way in which society is organized.

Not that the Illuminists were essentially revolutionaries. But the Enlightenment ideas served, along with the use of reason to interpret the world, for the French revolutionaries questioned the sacred character of power, defended by kings, aristocracy and the Church.

All men could exercise power. But for that, it was necessary to create institutions that would guarantee this exercise. In this sense, the Republic was the main one of these institutions. It represented the end of the privileges of the aristocracy and the liberation of peasants from the bonds of serfdom that bound them to the nobility and the clergy. In the cities, feudal corporations that limited the business of the bourgeoisie ended.

But even before the French Revolution, the Enlightenment ideals had already made it possible for English settlers in North America to achieve Independence from the USA and also to build a Republic. But the biggest boost was even given by the French Revolution, thanks to the power of the French state.

The French Revolution also influenced other<u> processes of independence on the American continent. In 1794, the enslaved Africans who worked in the sugar cane fields of Haiti managed to end slavery after a bloody war of independence. It was the first country on the continent to end slavery</u>.

Think about Laissez-Faire policies. Do you think the owners of these factories would like them? Why or why not?
julsineya [31]

As I understand it, Laissez-faire ideology maintains that the "free market" is the best way to determine what businesses can and should do. This means that businesses, in competition with one another, should be free to determine their paths free from any government rules or regulations. The belief is that the competition among various businesses will ultimately result in the best outcomes for society in general - Adam Smith's "invisible hand". As part of this philosophy, workers should also be free to compete with each other and choose to work wherever they wish and this process will also result in the best results for the workers as well.

However, isn't there a huge assumption in this philosophy? Doesn't the whole justification of this belief depends on the condition that there is perfect competition and that any company and any worker have the equal ability to compete with one another?

What if there is no perfect competition? What if some companies have advantages - due to any of a whole array of reasons - that place them in a non-competitive position vis a vis their competitors? Without perfect competition then other companies are not necessarily able to compete with other companies that have certain advantages. If such a situation exists, then advantaged companies may have the ability to pursue a course that results in their private benefit, but not necessarily to the benefit of society as a whole. The same would apply to workers in that reduced competition among companies would result in decreased leverage for potential employees.

To recap, if the Laissez-faire ideology maintains the best economic policy for society as a whole, and it depends on there being perfect competition on an ongoing basis with minimal government intervention, doesn't it fall apart if there is less than the perfect competition?
