Sugar Plantations In The 1800's

Improved Essays
Did you ever think how the plantation life was? Life on Hawaii’s sugar plantations in the 1800’s was very cruel and unfair! It had an unbalanced schedule, they got whipped, plantation owners or Lunas was racists towards the lower races.

The people had an unbalanced schedule because the workers had little time to sleep and do something while they were done with their work. The women also had a difficult time. They had to prepare the food for their husbands or child (if they have any.) So, they have to wake up early.
If you think that the schedule was balancing the people had no time women were suppose to wake up way earlier than men had. And that they do have to work so that adds more time for them to work it makes them more tired after work.

The people had gotten whipped because they as in the Luna were strict on how the plantation workers work, If they try to slack off for even a moment they have a chance to get in

They don’t receive the cruel punishment from the Lunas Jatsu_Dragneel because as they (races that was getting treated badly from the Lunas) endure the pain they are distrusting what the plantation is really like. Which will lead into some type of problems like riots, and more.

So, that is why Life on Hawaii’s sugar plantations in the 1800’s was very cruel and unfair due to the Lunas being and giving the workers unbalanced schedule, Lunas getting whipped, and Lunas being racist towards their own workers! I believe that the workers should deserve better in that time because they were treated badly and not nice in a way that the Lunas did by injuring them if they chose to violate the

    The evangelical development of the Second Great Awakening, and the progress of the Market revolution swept the nation during the first half of the nineteenth century. During the same decades, the role of women in America changed. The Market Revolution indicated the downturn of subsistence farming and the commercialization of the economic life of Americans. For the first time, factories arose, as textiles were progressively manufactured in mills like those in Lowell, Massachusetts. Although still treated lesser to men, women attained new opportunities in the working profession as teachers, nurses, and domestic service providers as a result of the Second Great Awakening, and the Market Revolution.…

    The Creation of the Atlantic Proletariat began way back when America was still the 13 colonies. Those thirteen colonies were Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Georgia, Connecticut, Massachusetts Bay, Maryland, South Carolina, New Hampshire, Virginia, New York, North Carolina, and Rhode Island and Providence Plantations. These colonies used a plantation system as well as a labor system consisting of black and white slaves. In the colonial times of the early 17th century, on the plantations, both black and white laborers have generally been indentured servants. Indeed, the first black Africans to touch the shores of North America in 1619 were indentured servants, who went on to obtain their freedom without their descendants tasting slavery instead of…

    The plantation system was an extremely barbaric institution, one that enhanced the cultural divide between whites and blacks and carved scars that could not be healed during Reconstruction. After centuries of receiving abuse and condescension from white men, blacks had a difficult time adjusting to life alongside them after the Civil War. Similarly, whites did not see African Americans as equals, despite what the law now said. In their time on plantations, white masters had exercised every form of physical and psychological abuse, making a point of their apparent superiority. They referred to blacks in demeaning tones, comparing them to animals, while forcing them to work for the benefit of whites.…

    Before industrialization occurred in different parts of the world, it was an agrarian based society; a society that depended only on farming and crops to survive.

    In the 1800’s slave owners manipulated the images of young women working in Industrial mills, making it out to be that they were taken away from their homes as “industrial slaves” to appropriate the cruel slavery that was really going on with African Americans and their families. Women were given long shifts with little breaks and were waking up at the crack of dawn to commence their work days as they had done so the day before. The wages given to them were little to nothing, but they worked because many would save after what was taken out of their checks for boarding to send to their families.
