How did slavery affect the social and economic development of the south?
  
Some people got rich and some got poor then the ones that got poor moved away. The people that got poor moved away to the big cities and looked for a job they would get paid for.And when the owner would fire the slaves they would run away from there because the owners would still be mean to them even if they weren't there slaves anymore.
              
                 How did industry, technology, and landscape affect human actions?
   

If they didn't have any slaves they wouldn't been able to make the buildings they would make. They wouldn't have been able to because the slaves were the ones that would do all the work. And they wouldn't have been able to build the mansion from charles drayton. Also Charles Drayton wouldn't have been rich just because no it was because of the slaves that would do work for him for free. It was easy for him because he lived by the river which made it easy to get water for the crops and the river worked for transportation which made it easy to go to places.

Communication

                                                               Communication
      There are better ways of communicating with friends and family then there was back then. Can you just imagine how it would be without Facebook, twitter and Instagram? It would be really boring without these social Medias. All of these social Medias are very helpful to communicate. Which social media do you think is the best way of communicating?
      One of my favorite ways of communicating is Facebook. The reason is because you can text people on Facebook. For example, I like texting on Facebook because you can see when people see your message and if there typing already. Also you can see when you sent the message and if they saw it and they just don’t want to text you back. Another example of why I like Facebook is because you can block people you don’t like texting.
       Another way I like communicating is by a phone call. One reason is because you can tell a person something without being shy or scared to tell them. Also because it’s much faster than texting someone and it is faster because when your texting you have to wait to get your message and it takes a while to receive it and with a phone call you can tell them anything without waiting on them.
       I know you might think the best way of communicating is with letters but I think Facebook is the best way. Letters are not the best way of communicating because when you send a letter to someone it could take days to get to them. Also because letters now in days cost money. That’s why I think the best way of communicating is with Facebook because it is free you don’t have to pay anything for it. Also because on Facebook once you send a message it immediately sends it you don’t have to wait for days to get to them.
      All in all, these are my favorite ways of communication. Also, I think the way of communication we have now is better than the one back then. I think it’s better because we can communicate way faster.
