I’m sorry? I think your question got cut off...
To explain the "no west" comment, in 1812 the American "west" only reached as far as the Mississippi River.
The northern states were heavily involved in international trade, having the ports and ship building yards. The men who sailed on those ships were likewise mostly from the north and were the ones being impressed into the British navy. The agrarian south's interests lay entirely in the production of tobacco, cotton, sugar, sorghum and a few other large cash crops. The commerce was mostly within America and they had little interest in shipping issues.
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Arthur Young states that there is a great difference between the “lower people” in England and France. Who does he blame for that difference?
He blamed the government of France. Why? Because it oppressed the French people and forced them to pay heavy taxation. That is why the woman had a sad wrinkled face that reflected pain and desperation.
The life of the woman Arthur Young met was of poverty, suffering, pain, and despair. She was a very poor woman like many French people from the Third State. In comparison, the lives of Louis XVI, Marie Antoinette, and other members of the First and Second Estates were full of unnecessary luxuries and flamboyant styles, when the people of France were starving. That is why the French Revolution started, for the many injustices and poverty, while the French crown lived a luxurious life.
