Why were sharecroppers specifically hard hit during the Great Depression?

Answers

Answer 1

Sharecropping is when the owner of certain land rents it out to people and in exchange will ask them for part of the crop they produce. This is beneficial for both the tenant and the renter, as they both are producing crops and ultimately earning money.

During the Great Depression, farmers were doing poorly. Since nobody had money to spare, a lot of crops were not selling. The prices had also dropped because there was an abundance of crops and nobody was buying them. Farmers were also starting to pay for items using installments, along with a lot of people during this time. This is where you pay for a product over a period of time. This caused some farmers to buy a lot of expensive and big products, like farm equipment, with installment plans. Then since they weren't selling crops, they couldn't pay for the items.

With the farmers struggling, they really did not need sharecroppers or helpers on their land anymore. The sharecroppers could not afford to stay there either, as the crops were not selling. A lot of sharecroppers had to leave and try to find work elsewhere.

Summarize the relationship between the boers and the British in South Africa.

Answers

Answer:

The Boers, also known as Afrikaners, were the descendants of the original Dutch settlers of southern Africa. Britain took possession of the Dutch Cape colony in 1806 during the Napoleonic wars, sparking resistance from the independence-minded Boers, who resented the Anglicization of South Africa and Britain’s anti-slavery policies. In 1833, the Boers began an exodus into African tribal territory, where they founded the republics of the Transvaal and the Orange Free State. The two new republics lived peaceably with their British neighbors until 1867 when the discovery of diamonds and gold in the region made the conflict between the Boer states and Britain inevitable.

how did Perestroika change the Russian government.

Answers

Answer:

Just six years after Mikhail Gorbachev came to power as General Secretary of the Communist Party and introduced reforms, the Soviet Union collapsed and newly formed independent nations arose from the ashes. What went wrong?

In 1985, even many of the most conservative hardliners realized that much needed to change. The Soviet economy was faltering and dissidents and internal and external critics were calling for an end to political repression and government secrecy.

Shortly after taking power, Gorbachev tried to tackle these challenges. Under a new policy of glasnost, or transparency and openness, new press freedoms shone a light on many of the most negative aspects of the Soviet Union, both past and present. And with perestroika, the Soviet Union would undergo a rapid political and economic restructuring that aimed to transform much of society.
