How is a serf different from a slave?

2 answers:

8 0

A lord of the manor could not sell his serfs as a Roman might sell his slaves. On the other hand, if he chose to dispose of a parcel of land, the serfs associated with that land stayed with it to serve their new lord; simply speaking, they were implicitly sold in mass and as a part of a lot.

The difference is that the serf is tied to the property meaning he was the lowest form of tenant of the land his rights if any were the rights vested in the land itself and slaves are tied to the owner meaning they are chattel -(discretionary disposable property) owned personally by the owner.

anygoal [31]

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

Read the excerpt from The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street.

WOMAN ONE

(a little reluctantly)

Well . . . sometimes I go to bed late at night. A couple of times . . . a couple of times I'd come out on the porch and I'd see Mr. Goodman here in the wee hours of the morning standing out in front of his house . . . looking up at the sky.

(she looks around the circle of faces.)

That's right looking up at the sky as if . . . as if he were waiting for something.

(a pause)

As if he were looking for something.

There's a murmur of reaction from the crowd again.

What danger did farmers face in the 1800s

wariber [46]

Hail, damaging winds, tornadoes, drought, excess moisture/flooding, grasshopper infestations, pest infestations (including certain fungal spores, insects, weeds, predators, and rodents), complaining neighbors about smells & noise pollution, livestock escaping enclosures, livestock getting sick and/or dieing, reportable diseases that occur in a farmer's herd, debt, loans, no healthcare benefits, no paycheck bi-monthly or once a month only once a year, complacency around dangerous livsetock and machinery, no time for vacations or weekends-off, no bonus for salary, 99% of the time nobody will be available to help as hired labour, no such thing as an 8-hour work day, the list goes on.

Also ever-increasing regulation, lack of consumer knowledge, ever-fewer numbers of farmers (young people continue to leave the farm -- average age of a US farmer is now 57), over-production, misinformed activist groups, excessively hot or cold weather, input shortages and high prices, declining market value of crops (inflation-adjusted), and............. yes, well, the list could still go on.

Hope this helps :)
