Many of the people were farmers. If one did not choose to be a farmer, they often went into the business, trade with Britain, shop keeping, blacksmithing, or carpentry, slave trade, forestry. Massachusetts was a colony that also had a royal government. The men of this colony were mainly famers. The women would cook and
The Virginian colony was independent upon plantations and mass crop growing. They grew various crops such as indigo, tobacco and rice. .the settlers who planted beans and tobacco among other things, they quickly learned that tobacco needed to be rotated. So they rotated the crop every season or two, too different fields so that they could maintain growth. With the vast amount of crops that the Virginians would grow they constantly needed to expand their portions of land.
Why might food production be necessary for cities and states to develop? Sheyla T. Aquino 101 Introduction to Anthropology Dr. Ambenge Most people do not think highly of the farmer and of agriculture in general. After all, there is no "visible" connection between the rural and the urban life. As long as the food is on the table or in the market, agriculture is simply not important to most people. However, not that many people think that school, sports, movies, and society would not be possible without agriculture.
There are a lot of comparisons between Christianity and Islam. Both are large important religions in the world. Both are monotheistic religions. Both religions also have Abraham as an important leader in their religion. Christianity and Islam are two religions with a great amount of similarities, but are both still
However, they never lead to the considerable improvements he expected as they were somewhat incomplete and many were not satisfied with them. In 1861 Alexander II emancipated the serfs; they were freed from their feudal obligations and allotted land for their needs. They were given freedom from noble interference and control of their lives, as well as being freed from fear of being forced to do military service. The serfs were given very little land and that which they received was of poor quality. The system of land distribution was unfair and most peasants received 4% less land than they had rented before, many received much less.
As the development of the colonies continued, many differences and similarities were revealed between the New England colonies, Middle colonies, and South colonies. While the differences in the geography of the three regions stood out, many similarities materialized as well. Each of the colonies supported diverse religions, such as Puritan, Presbyterians, Lutherans, and others. The economic activities in the three colonies were influenced by agriculture and differed from one colony to another. Also, the nationality varied from colony to colony, leaving similarities in this category scarce.
The different crops and their distinctive patterns of labor organization gave rise to several other important distinctions as well. Tobacco was the first plantation crop in North America. English settlers in the Chesapeake region recognized tobacco's profitable potential in the early seventeenth century. They built their first plantations using the labor of British indentured servants rather than African slaves. But in the late 1600s the market for English servants dried up, and Virginia planters turned instead to slavery.
Over the years due to the high cost of farmland and available land to buy many have started their own businesses or work outside of the community as skilled laborers. Amish farms produce a variety of produce such as corn, hay, wheat, tobacco, soybeans, barley, potatoes, herbs, fruits, and vegetables (Howley, 2008). By growing what they eat, milking their own cows, and slaughtering their livestock the Amish diet is almost self-sufficient (Leo, 2007). The Amish share their food with family, neighbors, and the needy while the surplus produce and livestock are sold to purchase what they cannot grow like flour, sugar, and
Young Hausa boys and girls become engaged between the ages of 13 to 19 years old.12 The marriage ceremony usually last for several days. Hausa burial rite is usually carried out according to the Islamic burial ordinance.13The Hausa culture is also characterized by music, dance, local dramas, and storytelling.14 Economy The Hausa economy depends largely on agriculture and trade activity. According to Joshua Project, “Cocoa, peanuts, palm oil, cotton, and rubber are grown for sale or trade, while corn, rice, beans, and yams are grown for consumption. The farmers depend heavily on nearby cities for trade opportunities. Most of the villagers cannot survive solely as farmers or herdsmen, but must also hold factory jobs to adequately provide for their families.”15 The Hausa people
The middle colonies exchanged tobacco and the southern colonies added rice, indigo, and furs. The climate and geography of British North America influenced the economic development of the New England, Middle, and Southern Colonies. Many people in New England had very poor lifestyles because of their poor climate and geography. It was the least fertile, and they had short growing seasons, which also lead them to have bad farming. They couldn’t grow many crops because of the poor soil and they had to find some other way of finding crops and providing for their families.
