Answer:
1. Weekends as we know them wouldn’t exist: Union strikes in the early 20th century led to the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, which created federal worker protections like the 40-hour workweek.
2. Children would still be working in factories: For most of our history, there were no federal regulations on child labor. And during the Industrial Revolution, that meant instead of going to school, young boys and girls were often forced to work in factories for long hours—with heavy, dangerous machinery.
3. Wages would be lower: Unions are on the front lines fighting for rights like a minimum wage, paid sick leave, and overtime pay—and research shows the sheer presence of unions also leads to higher wages for Americans. This means that when unions negotiate higher wages, they aren’t just improving the quality of life for their membership—they’re setting a higher wage standard for nonunion workers as well.
Explanation:
The National Labor Union was created in 1866 to convince Congress to limit the workday for federal employees to eight hours, but the private sector was much harder for unions to penetrate. The continual flood of immigrants coming into the country further diluted the workforce, and the price of labor declined as a result.
Colonialism affected trading partners. Colonialism badly affected the pattern of trade in Brazil. Most of its exports went to just three main markets: Portugal, other European countries and the U.S. This prevented economic growth in Brazil.
Please take a better picture so we all can reply and hopefully get brainliest!
A is False. Sugar crops were just like any other crop that required hard
work from slaves. It was so hard that they often chose to get beaten
instead of working because they considered it to be worth it. That's why
sugar plantation owners started thinking of various ways to get slaves
to work that didn't involve physical abuse.
B is True. The sugar
produced came from sugar cane which grew easily in the climate where the
Portuguese land owners lived. They could grow a lot of it and export it
all around the world, from the Americas to Europe and back. That's why
they needed many slaves.
C is false. European people traded with
Africans as far back as the roman Empire. This was mostly in the north
of Africa but the kingdoms in the south like Mali were known worldwide.
When people started looking for India around the south of Africa, they
established tradings posts along the way.
D should be false.
Sugar had to be extremely secure when transported to Europe because it
is sugar and we all know how easily it melts in water. If anything
happened to it then entire earnings could be lost and this would be
detrimental for both consumers and producers.
E is true.
Everyone wanted sugar and wanted to control sugar productions. That's
why there were many incentives for even those who became free to start
their own colonies somewhere in order to produce sugar. Places in the
South America never seemed to produce enough.
F is false.
Portuguese laborers did not work on plantations. Plantations had workers
that were slaves and those who were indentured slaves from all around
the world. The workers worked elsewhere and found other jobs or they
found their own plantations.
