History

Luda [366]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The Elizabethan Era took place from 1558 to 1603 and is considered by many historians to be the golden age in English History. During this era England experienced peace and prosperity while the arts flourished. The time period is named after Queen Elizabeth I who ruled England during this time.

Many turned to small crime, such as begging, picking pockets, and prostitution, simply to avoid starvation. There was little help for the sick, elderly, and orphans. The life expectancy, or average life span, of an Elizabethan was only 42 years, but it was much lower among the urban poor.

During the Elizabethan period, the English language consisted only of 24 letters as against 26 used in the modern English language. ... Another aspect of different usage of the language was that some letters like 'j' and 'i', 'u' and 'v' were used to mean the same thing.

Elizabethan means belonging to or connected with England in the second half of the sixteenth century, when Elizabeth the First was Queen.

The diet in England during the Elizabethan era depended largely on social class. The rich ate meat and white bread, the poor ate dark bread. Everyone drank beer as water was often too impure to drink. Fruits and vegetables were rarely eaten.

Sonbull [250]

D. English debtors.


Georgia was established as refuge for debtors as well as a buffer between the plantation colonies and Spanish Florida. It was also established as a non-slave colony.


Overflowing prisons in England caused a concern. James Oglethorpe provided a solution by requesting a colony for debtors to work off their debt through servitude toward the colony. No slaves were allowed in the colony as the debtors were the labor.
