Answer:

Most people associate slavery with the American South. However, slaves were utilized in the Caribbean, as well as in all parts of the original colonies and territories that later became the United States. From the time Christopher Columbus (1451–1506) arrived in the Caribbean in 1492, Caribbean Indians were enslaved to work in mines and on plantations. Later, the Spanish began importing African slaves to work the sugar plantations. Because sugar crops required quick processing to avoid spoilage, Caribbean slave life was much harsher than that of slaves in North America. Nineteen-hour days and harsh working conditions led to disease and high death rates. Rather than improve conditions, plantation owners simply increased the number of slaves they imported.

Explain how the Sikhs became a martial sect and why they came to dislike the Muslims.
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

The Sikhs become a Martial Sect ever since the death of Guru Har Krishan causing the Sikhs to lose trust in different communities.

Explanation:

Sikh communities came together during the period of Guru Har Krishans death and some coronation. With some sects of Sikhism they believe in an lineage of Gurus or believe in following a living guru. The main religions of the area at the time were Hinduism and Islam. The Sikh faith began around 1500 CE, when Guru Nanak began teaching a faith that was quite distinct from Hinduism and Islam. The different beliefs all happened because of a different teacher. I believe that the Sikhs began to hate the muslims because of their different beliefs.
