Slide/Quote #1: "Without feelings of respect, what is there to distinguish men from beasts?" What is the meaning of this quote?
Ivahew [28]

With the help of this quote(Without feelings of respect, what is there to distinguish men from beasts) Confucius has given a message to show basic human respect for other people.

Explanation:

The quote, 'Without feelings of respect, what is there to distinguish men from beasts' holds a much deeper meaning. This quote was quoted by the renowned Chinese philosopher Confucius.

Here, Confucius is trying to state that we as a human being should respect another being. Humanity is the pillar of every social relationships.

Confucius then distinguishes between humans and beasts. He says if we don't show kindness and respect for other people then what is the difference between them and us? We are no less than animals if we lack empathy.

And almost everyone agrees with what Confucius has to say, because humanity and love for another being are the only things which matters in a long run.

Which statement best characterizes the significance of the invention of the cotton gin?
Sidana [21]

Antebellum Period summary: The Antebellum Period in American history is generally considered to be the period before the civil war and after the War of 1812, although some historians expand it to all the years from the adoption of the Constitution in 1789 to the beginning of the Civil War. It was characterized by the rise of abolition and the gradual polarization of the country between abolitionists and supporters of slavery. During this same time, the country’s economy began shifting in the north to manufacturing as the Industrial Revolution began, while in the south, a cotton boom made plantations the center of the economy. The annexation of new territory and western expansion saw the reinforcement of American individualism and of Manifest Destiny, the idea that Americans and the institutions of the U.S. are morally superior and Americans are morally obligated to spread these institutions.

The Cotton Economy In The South

In the South, cotton plantations were very profitable, at least until overplanting leached most of the nutrients from the soil. Advances in processing the fiber, from Eli Whitney’s cotton gin to the development of power looms and the sewing machine, increased demand for cotton to export from the South to England and the mills of New England. Plantation owners were able to obtain large tracts of land for little money, particularly after the Indian Removal Act was passed in 1830. These plantations depended on a large force of slave labor to cultivate and harvest the crop—most white farmers in the 19th century wanted and were able to obtain their own farms as the U.S. expanded south and west, and slaves not only provided a labor source that couldn’t resign or demand higher wages, their progeny insured that labor source would continue for generations.

The demand for slave labor and the U.S. ban on importing more slaves from Africa drove up prices for slaves, making it profitable for smaller farmers in older settled areas such as Virginia to sell their slaves further south and west. Most farmers in the South had small- to medium-sized farms with few slaves, but the large plantation owner’s wealth, often reflected in the number of slaves they owned, afforded them considerable prestige and political power. As the quality of land decreased from over-cultivation, slave owners increasingly found that the majority of their wealth existed in the form of their slaves; they began looking to new lands in Texas and further west, as well as in the Caribbean and Central America, as places where they might expand their holdings and continue their way of life.

What was the original task of the buffalo soldiers?
pshichka [43]
<span>Horses were considered valuable military assets in the 1800s. Too valuable to be entrusted to "colored" troops. So they has the Black troops march from place to place. (The officers were white and got to ride horses.) They were used out west to help subdue the Indians. The Indians were the ones who called them buffalo soldiers. First because of their hair, which reminded the Indians of the wool of the bison and also because they were tough troops and hard to stop, as the Indians found out fight after fight.
