History

Answer:

Gold is what truly drove me to explore in the first place.  I was familiar with the idea of Mercantilism, which is the idea that there is only so much wealth in the world, and that to make your kingdom strong you must have more gold and wealth than the other kingdoms.  However, I also desired to seek riches for my personal wealth.  In my time, government rulers would send explorers to find riches like land, spices, gold and  other resources that would make their country rich and important.  An example of that would be how Christopher Columbus explored for gold and wealth to bring back to Spain.  He traded with the indigenous people for gold at a great profit for Spain.

     God and religion were also a popular motive for exploration during my time.  With Europe Christianized, people wanted to spread the Gospel to the rest of the world, because Europeans had always seen spreading Christianity as a good thing.  Colonization would later become a race to convert indigenous people to a particular brand of Christianity.  Religion was also an excuse for enslaving or exploiting non-Christians which allowed kingdoms to participate in the slave trade.

How did lewis hines work help influence child labor laws
Alex
Lewis Hines had a large impact on reforming laws regarding child labor because he was a photographer and he would often photograph pictures of the hardships many families and children were going through during that time.

Kids at that time even worked in coal mines which are very, very dangerous and if I remember right, he was able to get a picture of the children at work, covered in black dust from the coal mines.

His pictures are shocking and once again, like I stated before, child labor is an ongoing problem in other countries.  Its very sad
