Commerce, Agriculture, and Slavery: Crash Course European History #8

submitted by Huzzaz on 06/03/19 1

We've been talking a lot about kings, and queens, and wars, and religious upheaval for most of this series, but let's take a moment to zoom out, and look at the ways that individual's lives were changing in the time span we've covered so far. Some people's lives were improving, thanks to innovations in agriculture and commerce, and the technologies that drove those fields. Lots of people's lives were also getting worse during this time, thanks to the expansion of the Atlantic slave trade. And these two shift were definitely intertwined. Sources Fuentes, Marisa.
