History

Yuri [45]3 years ago

Answer:

Explanation:

Slaves were property. The cost money to purchase and maintain.  It the slaves used the underground railway, then the owners were out that amount of money and that amount of work the slaves performed.

It didn't make white Supremacy any easier. They had to pay to get the slaves back, so that was another cost.

It was a threat. I can't help the wording of this. Just because this event can be described doesn't mean it was right.

Answer:

They traveled mainly on foot and did not have the proper footwear. Runaway slaves carried little to no food, and would become weak. Injury and illness was a danger on the Underground Railroad, as well as wild animals. Despite such risks and dangers, the journeys were braved by fugitives to escape from a life Slavery. So a threat.

What was/were important part(s) of the affective individualism that arose during the 1700's?
Alex777 [14]

Affective individualism is an alleged process that occurred in industrialized countries in the 1700s, though its existence remains controversial.

The theory argues that, up to that point, the extended family and the wider community represented very strong ties for people, which made the nuclear family a smaller role in emotional fulfillment. This meant that marriages and procreation were often instrumental.

However, with the rise of affective individualism, families started to change in several ways:

  • The nuclear family became more important, and the centre of family life.
  • Having children became less instrumental an more driven by affective reasons.
  • Marriages were more and more commonly based on love, as opposed to convenience.
  • Sex became more important as a source of pleasure, and not only as an instrument for reproduction.

It is also argued that these changes, which for the most part accompanied industrialization, helped the development of capitalism.

1. Role of textile manufacturing in initiating industrialization

Before industrialization the textile manufacturing system was a slow method, it demanded time and it was usually sold in local communities. But in the 1700s inventors created machines - such as the wheel shuttle and cotton gin - and techniques that improved the textile production made those businesses grow and stimulated the coal and the iron industries.

The boom of textile industrialization boosted the import of raw materials such as cotton, improved transportation of those materials and made the economy move as a whole and initiate industrialization.

2. How transportation technology advanced the Industrial Revolution

Before the Industrial Revolution transport of goods demanded a long time, it took sometimes months to send a letter or to transport something across cities. With the industrial revolution the demand increased, industries needed more and more raw materials and goods to continue production. This pushed the construction of roads, river traffic, steamboats, canals, and railroads. Those transports made production and transportation of goods easier and boosted, even more, the industrial revolution because it permitted to spread selling around the country.

3. Why the first factories were more efficient than the earlier putting-out system

The putting out system is a system that subcontracts work. A central agent contracts subcontractors that complete the work for the agent. This has many problems because it was a domestic system which workers mostly worked from home in pre-urban times.

With the development of new technology such as machines that help with the manufacturing system, the first factories became more efficient because they brought workers and machines together in one place, it increased the production and time of production was smaller.
