Please post in the forum for the day a short essay in response to this question:
Think about what made it possible to transport so many people against their will and then to keep them at hard labor, so hard that many died within a few years.
Look at the map on page 472 that shows the many places where slaves rebelled. Imagine being a slave and joining in such a rebellion. The slaves outnumber the masters, so imagine you have gotten together and caused the masters to flee. What do you do next?
Money is power. Can you summarize the economic theory of “mercantilism” as described on parge 462?
Consider the comments about “presentism” on page 460. Can you explain what that is?
