Harsh climate killed crops and some Loyalists too. Food was scarce. They found that they had to trust each other in order to survive. Many didn’t survive the first winter. The Loyalists cooperated with each other by helping build log houses and raising crops.
For example, there were no longer any engineers left who knew how to build or maintain aqueducts. This meant that when these structures broke they couldn’t be fixed, and so over time there was less provision for clean water. The local population used the stone from the bath houses and other structures to build their own homes as there was less emphasis on public health. The new rulers of Britain did not think it was as important as the Romans had. By 1350 there were some quite serious public health problems in towns, where the lack of fresh water and drainage was a problem which caused the water to be contaminated by other sources and was not healthy to drink.
To what extent was there a revolution in punishment and policing in the 19th century? At the beginning of the 19th century, 60% of Britain's population lived in the countryside, meaning there wasn't any need for a police force as people were living far apart from each other, and away from shops and key financial areas. Also, crime was relatively low, the majority being small crimes like petty thieving. However, by the time of the Industrial Revolution, people were moving into rapidly growing towns and cities. This resulted in overcrowding, and as a result the minimal police force couldn't cope with such a rapid influx of people in such a short time.
Although, Solon’s laws did not establish a democracy, they were a crucial step towards Athenian democracy. Within this, Solon also created a social hierarchy based on agriculture, this allowed each class to participate in the government but also have their own obligation for taxes, contributions and other benefits. The classes included: the Pentakosiomedimnoi (the most powerful landowning class), the Hippies (consists of government officials), then the Zeguital (the lower officials in the government) and lastly, Thetes (owned no land, had little or no influence within the government) (4). Solons’ laws allowed the citizens to have more rights with their government and to be able to stabilize within their social hierarchy’s. Solons contributions consisted of moderate rearrangement rather then an entire revolutionary transfer of political power.
Serfs who for centuries had worked the land for little or not pay, suddenly began to demand higher wages and, increasingly, revolted against a nobility that sought to work them for lower wages of the past. Social Effects - The greatest social impact of the plague was that the rigid feudal system, in place in Europe for a thousand years, was dismantled. Feudalism was based on the nobility controlling land and the peasants who worked it. With immense labor shortages, serfs were free to leave the lands of the lords to seek higher wages. Additionally, land that had traditionally been the primary source of wealth was now worthless.
One of the biggest roles that played a part in the growth was the expansion of agriculture. The towns were beginning to become too crowded for families to be able to grow their own crops. They relied on travelers to come into town on certain days of the week to set up shops to sell fruits, vegetables, and also some meat. There were a few shops that would stay open everyday, but most would only come and set up one or two days in a week. Most travelers were peasants who would grow extra crops on their
SEARS BUSINESS MODEL People involved: Before mid 20’s: mainly focused on farmers in countryside who were largely isolated from the urban markets. After Mid 20’s: focus shifted to urban population who acquired wealth and migrated from low income class to middle class; the farmers who were enabled with increased mobility due to automobiles. Motivation: Sears, Roebuck and company: an untapped segment of population with specific needs which were till then not addressed. Customers: 1) Farmers: • Convenience – wide range of quality products could be ordered and obtained from a customized catalogue at a lower price. • Cost effective- eliminated the cost of travelling to the city.
These workingmen holds a majority of the nation, yet, they do not have any say in the government or their own life. “Seven-tenths of the free population of the country were of just their class and degree: small “independent” farmers, artisans, etc. ; which is to say, they were the nation, the actual nation” (89). Hank understands that a nation is built upon its people; thus, it is important to have the people satisfied and pleased. The government or the church should not fool them, and manipulate them as salves.
They were referred to as serfs and most of them could not read or write. However, craftsmen were very important in the feudal system as they are the ones that built and created items, grew food for the Monarch, lords, nobles, bishops and the town. “Without their expertise in making goods, most of the medieval towns would not have survived because individual families could not have
Since they were always on the move, they would travel in small groups. They also had no type of permanent homes to live in because they didn’t stay in one place. People in the Paleolithic era didn’t own any type of property and they were all equal. In the Neolithic era, people somehow learned how to farm. They learned to plant and grow food and how to domesticate animals.
