A. Eli Whitney--III. led to an increased demand for labor on cotton plantations.
B. James Watt--I. reduced the amount of coal needed to pump water out of mines.
C. Jethro Tull--II. reduced the number of workers needed to plant crops.
Eli Whitney invented the cotton gin. This machine could quickly pull seeds out of the cotton plant making the processing time for cotton quicker and then cheaper. This increased the demand for cotton and then planters wanted more labor to pick more cotton.
James Watt invented the steam engine which would allow for transportation and engine creation. Engines were used to move machines and creating pumping action in the case of mines.
Jethro Tull invented the seed drill. This agricultural invention allowed farmers to quickly create holes for seed and made planting quicker. Since it became quicker and easier to plant, less workers were needed to plant a field.
Jim Crow laws were laws passed in the Southern states in the US after the era of Reconstruction. These laws perpetuated racial discrimination because they resulted in segregated public facilities. For example, Jim Crow laws lead to separate schools, churches, parks, bus stops, restaurants, and movie theaters for black and white citizens.
These segregated facilities continued to promote racial discrimination, as the facilities for black American citizens were inferior to those for white citizens. This was especially true when it came to public schools.
Answer: A.) The new Fugitive Slave Act, passed in 1850, made the federal government responsible for apprehending fugitive slaves in the North, and sending them back to the South. This extended slavery and its enforcement beyond the South. However, the South found that the act wasn’t strong enough which caused a second Fugitive Slave Act to come out that same year. However, that law was so severe that its implementation was open to abuses that defeated its purpose. The Fugitive Slave Acts were used to prosecute blacks fleeing their masters in border states that were loyal to the Union.
Cotton cultivation meant that more cotton was being grown, which meant there was an increased demand for slaves. While it was true that the cotton gin reduced the labor of removing seeds, it did not reduce the need for slaves to grow and pick the cotton. In fact, the opposite occurred. Cotton growing became so profitable for the planters that it greatly increased their demand for both land and slave labor.
B.) Many slaves rebelled and sabotaged work. Some also tried to escape to other places, such as Canada. They also resisted in very subtle and peaceful ways. Mainly by refusing privately to use names given to them by slaveholders and maintaining their identity by keeping track of family members. Music, folk tales, and other African cultural forms also became weapons of resistance, considering that many were not educated.
