Colonial+America

Colonial America Yes they were right But I felt as if there was more information they could have added. For example the English weren't really afraid of the colonist becoming independent the English just didn't want to lose any of goods that they needed to other countries.
 * Ghita**: I would have changed the pictures to go along with what she was saying and also ending the video with a club penguin icon wasn't that great.

Notes on Southern Colonial Economy pg 80-81 CCQ: Why were plantations normally in a warm climate? Is it because the crops couldn't grow in any other climate? CCQ:Why couldn't they just hire workers instead of taking them against their will?
 * Main Idea - The main idea in this section is that the Southern Colonies economy was based upon crops because of this plantations and slavery started to become more and more common.
 * Growing Rice was difficult in the swampy water

Northern Colonies pg 78 I disagree because salutary neglect was made to keep the colonist obedient to the British. The British wouldn't interfere in then the colonists would support England in exchange. But then England started to take more control over the colonist.
 * In New England the weather was unpredictable farmers couldn't grow their crops but people ion the southern colonies could grow them all year.
 * The soil was thin an rocky so it was hard to grow so they needed crops to make money.
 * HW:I think that the Navigation Acts were ill-conceived because of salutary neglect. Do you agree or disagree...explain why...extra points for disagreeing!!!!! 9/21/10**

You would think I would have easy time answering my own question.Well no one wants to lose money so by not paying slaves they had more money. Also back then didn't consider slaves human beings so they didn't have rights. Slaves basically had no options and were considered cheap labor.
 * HW: Why didn't they just pay them?? in reference to the slaves 9/22/10**

media type="custom" key="6997909" width="110" height="110" I felt that the Colonist needed to Slavery because in a way the economic system of slavery kept slave owners just as chained as the slaves who were working. As shown in picture 1 slave owners were very limited when it came to finding work force for their plantations. Slaves live poorly they have no say about anything that happens to them they suffer and weren't even considered human beings. But Slaves weren't the only way to do jobs that no one wanted to do. They could have looked into researching new technologies that make some of the worst jobs easier. They could have made criminal who did horrendous crimes do these awful jobs to pay for their crimes.

It doesn't matter whether it's a lie or not because what he was just showing what he and what other people went through with slavery and I also heard other accounts of what he was saying. Well no but it looks really bad that an ex slave earned his freedom selling and buying slaves when he knows what the suffering they had to go through.

Equiano Wordle I think that he is a big contradiction. I think that because he who was once a slave who knew what it was like to referred to and treated no better than an object sold other slaves to earn his own freedom. I find that just a little too ironic for me. I'm torn about him I want to hate him but on the other hand he smart enough to be able to earn a life for himself.
