1) Describe why slave labor was needed in the Southern colonies.
➥ Because the economy of the South depended on the cultivation of crops, the need for agricultural labor led to the establishment of slavery.
2) What is the difference between cash crops and subsistence crops?
➥ The purpose of cash-crop farming is to generate a profit, subsistence farming is the practice of producing crops to feed a farmer's own family or livestock.
3) Compare an artisan slave with a slave who worked in the fields.
➥ Artisan slaves were too old to work in the fields. Artisan slaves were found in cities and not on plantations. Artisan slaves were skilled craftsmen and craftswomen.
4) Why did the colonies depend on Europe for trade?
➥ The colonies depended on Europe because most of the European countries would only allow their colonies to trade with them (and became a large manufacturer.) Therefore without any other colonies/countries to trade with, the dependence upon Europe began.
5) What is interdependence and What is specialization?
➥ When countries SPECIALIZE they put their resources to work to produce a few things instead of using their resources to produce a lot of things. “Specialization leads to INTERDEPENDENCE.” Interdependence means being dependent on other countries to produce what you don't.
