Answer 1

Between 1450 and 1750, chattel slavery was used in the Americas for cash crops, serfdom in Eastern Europe, indentured servitude in early American colonies, and guild labor in Western Europe.

Step-by-step explanation:

The period between 1450 and 1750 saw the utilization of various coerced labor systems across different regions. Chattel slavery was predominantly used in the American colonies, the Caribbean, and parts of South America to produce cash crops such as sugar, tobacco, and cotton, under brutal conditions. Serfdom was prevalent in parts of Eastern Europe and Russia, where peasants were bound to the land and under the control of landlords. Indentured servitude, a form of contract labor, was common in the Americas and the Caribbean, particularly in the early colonial period before chattel slavery became the dominant system. Lastly, guild labor was common in Western Europe, where skilled workers were organized into guilds that controlled the training and labor practices within specific crafts or trades.
