manufacturing, gender and social structures, and environmental
processes.]]> 2019-01-23 14:13:32 UTC https://padlet.com/klue/vuey5nhxmsd2/wish/323443069 aaddison1 https://padlet.com/klue/vuey5nhxmsd2/wish/323444273 The Earth cooled down, which created new weather patterns. The cooling of the Earth was caused by unusual solar activity and volcanic eruptions. The focus of agriculture decreased, as it made plants harder to grow. Many settlements moved further south, in pursuit of better weather.]]> 2019-01-23 14:15:28 UTC https://padlet.com/klue/vuey5nhxmsd2/wish/323444273 smehta5 https://padlet.com/klue/vuey5nhxmsd2/wish/323444354 Beginning in the 14th century, there was a decrease in mean temperatures, often referred to as the Little Ice Age, around the world that lasted until the 19th century, contributing to changes in agricultural practices and the contraction of settlement in parts of the Northern Hemisphere.]]> 2019-01-23 14:15:38 UTC https://padlet.com/klue/vuey5nhxmsd2/wish/323444354 aaddison1 https://padlet.com/klue/vuey5nhxmsd2/wish/323445920 Powerful states began to use peasant labor for political and economic tasks. The peasants were encouraged to move to Siberia to live a better life, as Siberia was very profitable in the fur trade. In the Mughal empire, peasants worked cotton fields and textile operations to keep up with the demands of joint-stock companies. Silk became the main component of the Chinese economy, with peasants being forced to grow mulberry plants and help with silk production to meet demands for export. ]]> 2019-01-23 14:18:24 UTC https://padlet.com/klue/vuey5nhxmsd2/wish/323445920 smehta5 https://padlet.com/klue/vuey5nhxmsd2/wish/323448182 Traditional peasant agriculture increased and changed, plantations
expanded, and demand for labor increased. These changes both fed
and responded to growing global demand for raw materials and finished products.
- Peasant and artisan labor
intensified in many regions.
- Slavery in Africa continued
both the traditional incorporation of mainly female slaves into households
and the export of slaves to the Mediterranean and the Indian Ocean.
- The growth of the plantation
economy increased the
demand for slaves in the
Americas.
- Colonial economies in the
Americas depended on a
range of coerced labor.]]> 2019-01-23 14:22:00 UTC https://padlet.com/klue/vuey5nhxmsd2/wish/323448182 smehta5 https://padlet.com/klue/vuey5nhxmsd2/wish/323448917 As social and political elites changed, they also restructured ethnic,
racial, and gender hierarchies.
- Both imperial conquests and
widening global economic
opportunities contributed to
the formation of new political
and economic elites.
- The power of existing
political and economic elites
fluctuated as they confronted
new challenges to their
ability to affect the policies
of the increasingly powerful
monarchs and leaders.
- Some notable gender
and family restructuring
occurred, including
demographic changes in
Africa that resulted from the
slave trades.

The trade of slaves over the Atlantic slave trade grew to the increasing number of plantations and the increasing need for labor. This was due to native labor dying out, meaning there was a need for another source of labor.]]> 2019-01-23 14:24:47 UTC https://padlet.com/klue/vuey5nhxmsd2/wish/323449974
