How effective were crop liens in assisting farmers’ economic recovery?

History

faust18 [17]3 years ago

Answer:

The crop-lien system was another way Southerners tried to boost their economy.  In exchange for seeds, food, tools, and other necessities, farmers would provide a "lien" on their crops from the next harvest.  

However, many merchants that provided for this system saw that they were the only ones who could do so.  In the absence of competition, these merchants could charge ridiculously high interest rates, as high as 50%.  If a farmer had a bad couple of years with his harvest, he would be trapped in a cycle of debt from which he could never escape.  This was a common result.  

This system also lead to an increased production of cash crops like cotton.  After a few years of harvesting cotton, the soil would be depleted of nutrients, and nothing else could be grown on that land.  While the farmers could possibly pay off their debt, they would be left with barren soil that could grow nothing else.

Sharecropping was a similar farming system found in the South after the Civil War.  Southern planters would rent out land to former slaves and poor whites, in exchange for labor on the land they were given.  These planters would charge a credit on the family's next harvest for the necessities of life as well as living on the land.  This system was often abused by the planters; they charged high interest rates, and often controlled the lives of the people who worked for them.  It wasn't a very good system, but it allowed Southern blacks and poor whites to make a modest living, even more so than the crop-lien system.

denis23 [38]
The correct answer is D. Builders were held legally accountable for their work.

This is the correct statement, as the passage clearly discusses the repercussions of builders who do not do a good job. In the passage it discusses how a building that falls due to poor construction will result in the death penalty for the individual who built the house. This ensures that the builders take their time and do the job well in order to face the death penalty.

Identify the role of women in american society before, during, and after world war i.
Softa [21]
DURING WORLD WAR I:

War tends to disrupt traditional norms surrounding gender and sexuality, and the First World War between 1914-1918 was no exception. Keep in mind, the U.S. did not become involved in the war until 1917. 

During World War I, many women entered the workforce for the first time. With significant numbers of men away in Europe, women were needed in various capacities. It is believed over 20,000 women worked as nurses during the war. Others worked in clerical positions for the U.S. Government. Telephone and radio operators were also common positions for women. 

On the home front, women assumed greater responsibility in public life as significant portions of the male population were 'over there' (as Europe was referred to during that time). Women too young or unable to work helped the war effort in various ways, such as planting 'victory' gardens.
