Why was the plantation system so important to Southern agriculture?

History
1 answer:
aliya0001 [1]3 years ago
8 0

Southern agriculture was critical to the development of the Southern states, as it enabled them to use free and forced labor in order to see large profits. Lets take a look at each option:

A) The plantation system was efficient and profitable, leading to growth in Southern agriculture. (The plantation system was not super efficient, as relying on slave labor resulted in many issues)

B) Most South Carolinians could afford to run a large plantation, increasing production of agricultural goods. (Most people from South Carolina could not afford much, as only the top percent of the population was able to open and run plantations.)

C) The plantation system eliminated the need for slaves, allowing them to work on smaller farms. (NO! The plantation system CREATED the need for slaves)

D) The development of the plantation system allowed cotton to become a major export of the South. (YES! Cotton became a backbone of the Southern exports. Whenever we think of the south during and prior to the civil war, we think of cotton plantations, which were entirely dependent on slave labor.)

This means that the answer is D- The development of the plantation system allowed cotton to become a major export of the South.

I hope I've helped! :)

Answer:

Option: True

Explanation:

When the European (Spanish) reached the New World, they not only bring soldiers but diseases also. The Native Americans not being immune to European diseases like smallpox and measles, died which finished the entire native population along with their civilization.

Diseases were already spread in the Inca Empire before Francisco Pizarro defeated them. In 1528, due to contact with the European, the Inca Emperor Huayna Capac died from smallpox. It would be true to say that the diseases helped the Spanish conquistador and explorers to conquer the land in America.

Why did the British act alone during king Leopolds rule

Answer:

Mark as brainliest

Explanation:

symbolic presence in international legal accounts of the 19th century, but for historians of the era its importance has often been doubted. This article seeks to re-interpret the place of the Berlin General Act in late 19th-century history, suggesting that the divergence of views has arisen largely as a consequence of an inattentiveness to the place of systemic logics in legal regimes of this kind.

INTRODUCTION

The Berlin West Africa Conference of 1884-1885 has assumed a canonical place in historical accounts of late 19th-century imperialism 1 and this is no less true of the accounts provided by legal scholars seeking to trace the colonial origins of contemporary international law. 2 The overt purpose of the Conference was to ‘manage’ the ongoing process of colonisation in Africa (the ‘Scramble’ as it was dubbed by a Times columnist) so as to avoid the outbreak of armed conflict between rival colonial powers. Its outcome was the conclusion of a General Act 3 ratified by all major colonial powers including the US. 4 Among other things, the General Act set out the conditions under which territory might be acquired on the coast of Africa; it internationalised two rivers (the Congo and the Niger); it orchestrated a new campaign to abolish the overland trade in slaves; and it declared as ‘neutral’ a vast swathe of Central Africa delimited as the ‘conventional basin of the Congo’. A side event was the recognition given to King Leopold’s fledgling Congo Free State that had somewhat mysteriously emerged out of the scientific and philanthropic activities of the Association internationale du Congo . 5

If for lawyers and historians the facts of the Conference are taken as a common starting point, this has not prevented widely divergent interpretations of its significance from emerging. On one side, one may find an array of international lawyers, from John Westlake 6 in the 19th century to Tony Anghie 7 in the 21 st century, affirming the importance of the Conference and its General Act for having created a legal and political framework for the subsequent partition of Africa. 8 For Anghie, Berlin ‘transformed Africa into a conceptual terra nullius ’, silencing native resistance through the subordination of their claims to sovereignty, and providing, in the process, an effective ideology of colonial rule. It was a conference, he argues, ‘which determined in important ways the future of the continent and which continues to have a profound influence on the politics of contemporary Africa’. 9
