The colonies came to depend on enslaved Africans because they were focused on agriculture and needed manual labor.

During this time, in primarily the South, the main source of income was by using agriculture. Cash crops were planted, which were crops that sold for high amounts of money overseas. Some cash crops included things like indigo, tobacco, and later on, cotton.

Big farms, called plantations, were soon built. This meant that a lot of manual labor was needed. First, indentured servants were used. These were people who would work for years in order to pay off the debt they owed, which was normally passage to America. This did cost money though, so farmers turned to an even cheaper option, which was slaves.

Soon, people started using enslaved Africans to work on their farms. These were people who were bought over on the Middle Passage, a leg of the Triangular Trade.

Discuss the similarities and differences between George W. Bush and Al Gore
Arte-miy333 [17]

So, Bush believed that all military missions should be based on U.S. strategic interests and should have clear objectives and exit strategies. He does not want to over commit the armed forces and would like to see allies shoulder more responsibility in terms of regional conflicts. Bush believes that U.S. regional priorities consist of Europe, Latin America, the Middle East, and the Far East, and he strongly supports maintaining U.S. presence in NATO. He feels that the U.S. should be prepared for military intervention if necessary, but that a strong military will act as a deterrent to security threats.

Gore assailed Bush's proposal to withdraw U.S. forces from the Balkans saying it would be "a damaging blow to NATO" and would jeopardize other U.S. alliances. He has defined six criteria for deciding whether to deploy the military: (1) Is the mission in U.S. national interests? (2) Is military force the only way to solve the conflict? (3) Have all other options been exhausted? (4) Will force solve the problem? (5) Do we have the support of allies? (6) Is the cost of the operation proportionate to the objective? Gore's policy of "forward engagement" calls for early diplomatic intervention to prevent the need for future military deployment.

Energy can be created from renewable and nonrenewable resources. Using the table as a guide, research and evaluate two forms of
Svetllana [295]

Here's for one of them:

Type: Nuclear

Extraction: Uranium (the fuel for nuclear energy) is typically mined using open pit or sub-surface mining. Australia, Canada, Kazakhstan are where the world's largest deposits are.

Benefits: Low cost (if you don't count building the power plant), reliable (unlike wind & solar energy which comes and goes, nuclear is readily available), no carbon emissions, produce more energy than coal power plants (most popular energy source), no air pollutants emitted (all other nonrenewable sources, aka. coal, oil, and natural gas, release harmful air pollutants)

Risks to environment: Radioactive wastes require to be safely secured away for thousands of years before they can reach safe levels, nuclear accidents can happen, mining uranium cause land disturbance, thermal pollution in nearby bodies of water or wherever cooling water is released (this can lead to dissolved oxygen levels decreasing in that body of water which can suffocate aquatic life)

Other info: Nuclear energy makes up 10% of the world's energy consumption.
