History

Answer:

Farming, sewing, and taking care of livestock were just a few responsibilities that were left to slaves during the 1600's.  White families received all of the benefits from the work done, yet they rarely had to lift a finger, unless it was to correct a slave.  Today's generation reads about slavery and regards it as morally wrong.  While I agree that slavery was one of America's greatest wrongdoings, it paved the way for America as we know it today.

One of the largest uses of slave labor was in the southern plantations.  Virginia's economy depended greatly on the production of tobacco.  However, the problem being that tobacco plants required thousands of workers to produce the extensive amount that was being exported .  Without the use of slave labor, there would not have been enough man power to fuel the plantations.

Virginia was not the only colony in need of help on the plantations.  Rice plantations in the Carolinas became a cash crop in the early 1690's.  However, slaves were not first to work on the rice plantations; white indentured servants were.  The servants did not last long because of the malaria carrying mosquitoes that infested the swamps, and African Americans were soon enlisted as slaves to work the plantation .

Why did Hernán Cortés commit treason by renouncing his allegiance to Diego Velázquez, the Spanish governor of Cuba?
mariarad [96]

Answer:

Hernan Cortes was the Spanish conquistador who conquered the Aztec Empire in Mexico between 1519 and 1521.

Due to several adversities, Cortes did not come to the New World until 1506. He took part in the conquest of the islands of Hispaniola and Cuba and received large lands and Native American slaves for his efforts.  

Cortes eagerly sold and pledged all his land to buy ships and supplies. He arranged through Cuba's governor Diego Velazquez, a distant relative, as well as his father-in-law, that he should lead an expedition. Officially, the goal was to discover and trade with the new countries it was rumored to be westward. He was forbidden to colonize, but through his persuasive ability and legal knowledge he had previously obtained, succeeded in persuading Governor Velazquez to insert an additional clause. It would allow him to take the necessary action without authorization, "for the good of the kingdom". At the last minute, the governor felt that Cortes was too ambitious for his own good, and changed and deleted the clause. Basically, the expedition was a private adventure as it had been funded by Cortes' own and borrowed funds.

With only 700 men, he succeeded in conquering the Aztecs' kingdom against all odds. When Cortes arrived in Mexico in 1519, the Aztecs waited for their god Quetzalcoatl to return and overthrow the Aztecs. When Cortes appeared, it was believed that a god had come. The Aztecs terrorized their neighbors by occasionally attacking them to take prisoners, which were used at religious ceremonies (with cannibalistic elements). Therefore, there was a great dissatisfaction among the Native American tribes around the Aztecs. Therefore, many of these stood on the Spanish side.
