Unknown Story
Öykü Penceresi Metni
- My family and I are slave owners and we own many slaves in our massive plantation because we are at the top of the social classes.
- Social: social classes
- Why is my family so poor but you are so rich and wealthy?
- Why our we out here only farming rice, cotton, tobacco and sugar?
- Rice, cotton, tobacco and sugar are the cash crops of the south meaning they are very popular and sell for a lot.
- Economy: Cash crops
- Cultural: church songs
- Do you know any slave songs to sing while working?
- No, I have not been to church recently so I do not know any new psalms or hymns to sing.
- Why have there been many more slaves around lately? And why are all of us doing the exact same thing: picking cotton?
- Economy: the invention of the cotton gin.
- The invention of the cotton gin answers both of your questions. it takes out the seeds in the cotton quicker than any human could. This means that the owner needs more people picking cotton and can now afford more slaves.
- Political: anyone accused of being a runaway slave could be arrested by any special government official
- I am going to arrest you anyway just because I am suspicious of you.
- Are you a run away slave?
- No, I promise I am a free black man.
- Geography: rivers and cities
- All of these big cities are built around the rivers because the south is full of rivers that farmers use to transport their crops down to other places so that is where all the people go because farming is the most popular way to make a living
- Grandpa, why are all the big cities built near and around all of these water ways such as this river?
