Document 1 shows how much the slaves, who were 90% of the island's population, would receive for the excruciating labor they were put through every day. Weekly, they would be given only the bare necessities to survive, not including their family members, as the document states only for slaves 18 years or older.

Since Russia was formed, it was always ruled over by a monarchy. Examples of this are Peter the Great, Catherine the Great and Alexander I ("Background Note: Russia").
