Knowing that their slaves were likely to die by the time they reached their thirties, Louisiana sugar planters were extremely se

lective—they bought only healthy-looking young men in their late teens. On average, the men purchased in Louisiana were an inch taller than the people bought in the other slave states. Those teenagers made up seven to eight out of every ten slaves brought to America's sugar Hell. The others were younger teenage girls, around fifteen to sixteen years old. Their job, for the rest of their short lives, was to have children. Elizabeth Ross Hite knew that, for sure, "all de master wanted was fo' dem wimmen to hav children." Enslaved children would be put to work or sold. The overseer S.B. Raby explained, "Rachel had a 'fine boy' last Sunday. Our crop of negroes will I think make up any deficiencies there may be in the cane crop." That is, a master could sell any slaves who managed to live, if he needed more money than he could make from sugar.
Jazz was born in Louisiana. Could it be that a population of teenagers, almost all of them male, were inspired to develop their own music as a way to speak, to compete, to announce who they were to the world? Bomba in Puerto Rico, Maculelê in Brazil, jazz in Louisiana—all gave people a chance to be alive, to be human, to have ideas, and dreams, and passions when their owners claimed they were just cogs in machinery built to produce sugar.

The sugar workers in Hawaii were not enslaved—they chose to come. But they still lived hard lives:

Hawai'i, Hawai'i

I came seeing the dream

But my tears now flow

In the canefields

When the Africans were brought to work in sugar, they had to form new families, learn new languages—they had to find ways to blend their new lives with what they recalled from their homelands. The holehole bushi hint at one way sugar workers have always found strength and comfort:

My husband cuts the cane

I carry the stalks from the field

Together, the two of us

We get by

What will lead directly to a government "shut down"?
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

b. when the president vetoes congress's appropriations bills

Explanation:

A president can be defined as an individual who is duly elected by the electorates and as such is the head of the country in a democratic government. The president is empowered by the constitution to sign (veto) legislations, adjourn or convene the legislative body (Congress), grant state pardons and reprieve to citizens, command the armed forces, and welcome ambassadors representing other countries.

In the United States of America, the president has various powers granted by Acts of Congress and Article II of the U.S constitution such as Ordinance power, Appointment power, Implied power, Executive power, etc.

An appropriation bill comprises of proposed law by the legislature that gives the government of a particular country the authority to fund certain projects with a concise description of what the funds are to be used for.

In the United States of America, a government shutdown would arise when the US Congress fails to pass an appropriation bill so as to finance the government for the next fiscal year or when the president vetoes appropriations bills passed by the Congress.

Hence, when the president vetoes congress's appropriations bills, it will lead directly to a government "shut down."
