Since the Chinese where the only ones who could make and sell silk, they could get a high price for their special cloth. If they had simply given their secrets away, it would have been commonplace for everyone to make, and the Chinese would have lost their giant income from the silk buyers. It would also have put many people out of a job, like the silk merchants/traders!

The Chinese recently announced an end to their one-child policy. How would Thomas Malthus react to China’s one-child policy?
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

Malthus was very concerned about unchecked population growth.

Explanation:

As a matter of opinion, I think it would be safe to say that Thomas Malthus would be in favor of the one-child policy because it would be a limit to the exponential growth in population we have undergone since his time. He was worried about our rapid growth in population and not being able to sistaine resources. He famously proposed 2 ways to keep our population in check, by means of "moral restraint" which China's policy would fall under or by means of natural plagues, famine various disease and even warfare.

Why did some in the northwest and some antislavery forces call the agreement a "base betrayal by the South"
marin [14]

James Knox Polk, also called "Young Hickory" won the presidential election of 1844 with the combination of southern and western expansionism ideas. Dealing with a war with Mexico about the annexation of Texas and having to settle a treaty with the British empire over Oregon, they rapidly accepted what the UK had to offer. They submitter a drafty treaty extended the border between US and Canada along the 49th parallel. The treaty was ratified 3 days after.

As a result, a group of northwester expansionists, unsatisfied with the treaty, saying they cared more about annexing entire Texas but not entire Oregon, joined antislavery forces and condemned what they regarded a base betrayal by the South.
