Yesterday we learned about the market revolution and the difference between the north and south around the time of the civil war. We also learned about slavery and property owners. The plantation owners would use the slaves they "owened" to do their field work for them for free. They treated them as though they were property and saw them as items not as people.
I think that the market revolution was a good thing for economy but not such a good thing for workers and slaves. The market revolution was good because it helped improve our economy by making more factories. It was bad for the slaves and workers because slaves were forced against their will to do the work without pay and the workers they hired were mostly getting laid off because they could just have slaves to it for free or they had new factory machines to do their jobs for them.
