Answer:

African slaves were used primarily for forced labor due to their high reproduction rates and their resiliency.

Explanation:

At first, Native Americans were used to labor in the fields.

However, they were not used to the brutal conditions of forced labor and many died.

Also, new diseases such as typhoid and syphillus decimated the population.

Answer:

unequal distribution of wealth

corruption

increase in the tax

Explanation:

The French Revolution which lasted from 1787 to 1799 had several factors that contributed to its cause. One of the major causes was the unequal distribution of wealth between the bourgeois and poor people.

The divine right of the monarch was perceived to be too arbitrary. Intellectuals and enlightenment advocates started to criticize such right. In time, more people started to join the enlightenment movement.

The rise in corruption among the royal family and nobles and increase in the tax both contributed immensely to the cause. Apart from these causes, French involvement in the American Revolution, bankruptcy and economic failure all attributed to the rise of the revolution.
