Buddhism Originated in India, where Gautama Buddha gained his Enlightement under a tree.
Their major principles was to always speak Truth, never harm any creature, try to help others.
<span>In the US it is unlikely that Buddhism alone had any direct influence on laws, but because many of it's teachings about living a moral life i.e. not killing, stealing, etc. are the same as other more dominant religions it could be said that religious convictions (Buddhist ones included) in general have influenced lawmakers in making decisions.

Buddhism also affected other societies as many Hindu followers who were from lower casts joined it immidiately due to discrimination in their own religion.
Hope this helps!
Answer: My reaction to the description of life on a slave ship is that we are very lucky to live in times in which slavery is prohibited because the description let us know how crude, rude, unjust, and horrible it was.
Explanation:
Two reasons back my perspective. The first one is that after many people understood the effects of slavery on people. They decided that slavery should be stopped because it was unfair, we are all equals and we have the same rights. Second, slaves used to go under so many horrible things, like work to death being punished if they didn't work even if they were tired. Punish other slaves, eat bad food, and never being able to do something they wanted.
Answer:By the end of the seventeenth century, Virginia had established tobacco as its main crop, a representative government, and slavery as a dominant system of labor. In 1606, a group of wealthy London businessmen petitioned King James I for a charter to establish a colony in the New World.
At first the colony was based on exports of foodstuffs to the West Indies and of turpentine, tar, and furs to Europe. Then rice was introduced from Madagascar, and the South Carolinians developed large plantations which grew rice and indigo very profitably.
