How did servitude differ from slavery? Why did the laws get more complicated over time?

Servitude was different from slavery in that it was a form of bondage, meaning there was an agreement on a period of unpaid labor that usually paid off the costs of the servant’s immigration to America. The servants were not paid wages but they were generally housed, clothed, and fed.

The servants themselves were not considered property and were free upon the end of their indenture (usually a period of five to seven years).

In slavery, they were considered property of their masters. They are not given freedom and they are considered property as long as they live. No rights at all.

In the early years of the colony, many Africans and poor whites -- most of the laborers came from the English working class -- were the same. Black and white women worked side-by-side in the fields. Black and white men who broke their servant contract were equally punished.

Construyo hipótesis coherentes acerca del sentido de vida, inspirado en textos bíblicos y eclesiales.
Trava [24]

La respuesta correcta para esta pregunta abierta es la siguiente.

Lo que nos pides es que construyamos una hipótesis coherentes acerca del sentido de vida, inspirado en textos bíblicos y eclesiales.

Aquí vamos. Tomemos por ejemplo una expresión del evangelista Juan en Juan 5, 19. que dice que sólo con la venia del Padre, el Hijo puede hacer las cosas por sí mismo.

Por lo anterior, la hipótesis puede ser la siguiente.

El sentido de la vida se entiende cuando lo que hacemos está en armonía con la voluntad del Padre celestial.

Esto por su puesto, desde la perspectiva Católica o Cristiana.

Para los creyentes de esta religión, es muy importante estar en sintonía con la voluntad del Padre. O lo que ellos llaman Padre-Dios. Por eso, cuando los feligreses hablan, todo lo anteponen a la voluntad del Padre-Dios, diciendo frases como estas:

"Nos vemos mañana, si Dios quiere."

Quiero salir de viaje el próximo verano, si Dios lo permite."

Why did car ownership rise in the postwar years?
maria [59]

It is a combination of factors, including new technology and the transformation of the American manufacturing economy, from producing war-related items to consumer goods at the end of World War II. By the end of the 1950s, one in six working Americans were employed either directly or indirectly in the automotive industry. The United States became the world's largest manufacturer of automobiles, and Henry Ford's goal of 30 years earlier—that any man with a good job should be able to afford an automobile—was achieved

The 1950s were pivotal for the American automobile industry. The post-World War II era brought a wide range of new technologies to the automobile consumer, and a host of problems for the independent automobile manufacturers. The industry was maturing in an era of rapid technological change; mass production and the benefits from economies of scale led to innovative designs and greater profits, but stiff competition between the automakers. By the end of the decade, the industry had reshaped itself into the Big Three, Studebaker, and AMC. The age of small independent automakers was nearly over, as most of them either consolidated or went out of business.

A number of innovations were either invented or improved sufficiently to allow for mass production during the decade: air conditioning, automatic transmission, power steering, power brakes, seat belts and arguably the most influential change in automotive history, the overhead-valve V8 engine. The horsepower race had begun, laying the foundation for the muscle car era.

Elan Coil [88]

God's anger manifested on Miriam being shut up outside the camp for seven days, and the people not moving on until Miriam was received again
