Why did farmers in the 1780's struggle so much? (revolutionary war)

History
2 answers:
Zigmanuir [339]3 years ago

Explanation:

Trade routes to market were cut off by war, either water ways or roads. Farmers could not plant surpluses because they might not be able to sell the excess and it would just rot on their fields. Herds of cattle and horses were depleted either by the plundering of the British or as provisions for the Continental Army.

The farmers who fought in the Revolutionary War had received little compensation, and by the 1780s many were struggling to make ends meet.
Businesses in Boston and elsewhere demanded immediate payment for goods that farmers had previously bought on credit and often paid off through barter. There was no paper money in circulation and no gold or silver to be accessed by the farmers to settle these debts.
At the same time, Massachusetts residents were expected to pay higher taxes than they had ever paid to the British in order to assure that Governor James Bowdoin’s business associates would receive a good return on their investments.
With no means to move their crops and make money to pay off debts and taxes, Boston authorities began to arrest the farmers and foreclose on their farms.

His neighbor is out of town for nine days and he gets paid for these things every day so you would put the nine outside of the parentheses. You put seven plus two inside the parentheses because he is paid the sum of these numbers every day his neighbor is gone.

Do you think our language, culture, and day-to-day life might be different if the Spanish had overtaken the Jamestown colony and
timurjin [86]

Answer:

Yes, language and culture would be different, daily life not necessarily so.

Explanation:

If the Spanish had overtaken the Jamestown colony, and had expanded from there to other parts of North America, they would have sent settlers from Spain to promote their language and religion: Spanish and Christian Catholicism, respectively.

The U.S. would still be a Western Nation, but more similar to Latin America than it is right now.

Daily life would not necessarily be that different. The country would have likely industrialized, and then, become a service-based economy, meaning that most people would have more or less the same lifestyle and jobs that they have today.
