Why did slavery start in the colonies?

History
1 answer:
olga nikolaevna [1]3 years ago
5 0
The colonists required labor for agriculture and other tasks so they brought in slaves, which was the cheapest form of labor available.

The slaves were brought on boats from Africa, usually in terrible conditions which led to many of them dying during the journey before even making it to America.

The slaves in the South worked mainly on the farms and plantations as the South had a lot of cultivatable land and the region's economy depended on it. Meanwhile, slaves in the New England and Middle regions were usually just house servants, cleaning, cooking and carrying out other tasks around their owner's house.

The economy of the South depended heavily on the cultivation of crops, especially cotton. The introduction of slaves allowed land owners to cultivate larger lands and gain more profit since the labor they had required little to no input.

How did assimilation within the Jewish community impact <br> anti-Semitism?
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

In general the sociocultural process in which the sense and consciousness of association with one national and cultural group changes to identification with another such group, so that the merged individual or group may partially or totally lose its original national identity. Assimilation can occur and not only on the unconscious level in primitive societies. It has been shown that even these societies have sometimes developed specific mechanisms to facilitate assimilation, e.g., adoption; mobilization, and absorption into the tribal fighting force; exogamic marriage; the client relationship between the tribal protector and members of another tribe. In more developed societies, where a stronger sense of cultural and historical identification has evolved, the mechanisms, as well as the automatic media of assimilation, become more complicated. The reaction of the assimilator group to the penetration of the assimilated increasingly enters the picture.

Various factors may combine to advance or hinder the assimilation process. Those actively contributing include the position of economic strength held by a group; the political advantages to be gained from adhesion or separation; acknowledged cultural superiority; changes in religious outlook and customs; the disintegration of one group living within another more cohesive group; the development of an "open society" by either group. Added to these are external factors, such as changes in the demographic pattern (mainly migration) or those wrought by revolution and revolutionary attitudes. Sociologists have described the man in process of assimilation as "the marginal man," both attracted and repelled by the social and cultural spheres in which he lives in a state of transition.

(PLS HELP) How can opinion, or bias, cause the outcome of an experiment to be incorrect? Provide an example and a possible inacc
frutty [35]
Opinion or bias can cause the outcome of an experiment to be incorrect because it’s based off of a personal preference. That being said, any desirable outcome can be produced. One example of this would be human reproduction. Let’s say a person of Cuban race wants a mixed child. They would decide not to marry a Cuban spouse because it’s biased that the offspring will be only one race. Therefore, they would marry a person of a different race to provide a desirable outcome, which in this case, would be a biracial child. Bias leans a result toward one side, preferably the result desired. That’s how opinions and biases can cause the outcome of experiments to be incorrect.

How is the quartering act wrong in a opinion
Dennis_Churaev [7]
The quartering act is wrong because it forces people to pay for a standing army that they didn't want there to begin with.  The Quartering Act in the English colonies forced colonists to house a standing army that was there to keep the colonists from revolting.  They had to share their food and homes with people that they did not necessarily like.  The government did not give people the freedom to choose if they wanted to house guests.
