Answer:

Crop Lien system was credit system. It became widespread among the cotton farmers in the southern regions of US. In the system the sharecroppers and tenant farmers who didn't possess land obtained supplies on credit from the local merchants, the merchants and the landowner used to get money from cotton sale and then what ever was left went to the farmer. The system ended in 1940's when the poor farmers moved to urban areas. this credit system developed during the American Civil war as the southern farmers had little cash and it was a way to get credit before the planting season. Due to the credit merchants were able to dictate the crops that farmer grew. The system was also used by landowners, tenant farmers and sharecroppers.

Answer:

Here to help! <3

Explanation:

Loyalists saw citizenship in terms of 'traditional' British values - property, social order, the Church and the monarchy. They believed that the long-established British political system was the wisest and most reliable form of government. After the outbreak of the French Revolution in 1789, Britain had remained neutral, watching from the side-lines, but in 1793, when French troops occupied Belgian lands, threatening the Dutch as well as British overland trade via the River Scheldt, war was instigated.
