In 1832, Michael Sadler, a member of British Parliament, headed a commission to investigate working conditions in textile factories in Great Britain. The Sadler Report, as it came to be known, led to the passage of the 1833 Factory Act, which improved conditions for child workers. Read the following passage from an interview conducted during the Sadler Report. Then, answer the following questions. Evidence Given Before the Sadler Committee Joshua Drake, called in; and Examined. Question (Q): You say you would prefer moderate labor and lower wages; are you pretty comfortable upon your present wages? Joshua Drake (JD): I have no wages, but two days a week at present; but when I am working at some jobs we can make a little, and at others we do very poorly. Q: When a child gets 3 s. [shillings] a week, does that go much towards its subsistence? JD: No, it will not keep it as it should do. Q: Do you receive any parish assistance? JD: No. Q: Why do you allow your children to go to work at those places where they are ill-treated or over-worked? JD: Necessity compels a man that has children to let them work. Q: Then you would not allow your children to go to those factories under the present system, if it was not from necessity? JD: No. Q: Supposing there was a law passed to limit the hours of labor to eight hours a day, or something of that sort, of course you are aware that a manufacturer could not afford to pay them the same wages? JD: No, I do not suppose that they would, but at the same time I would rather have it, and I believe that it would bring me into employ; and if I lost 5d. [pennies] a day from my children's work, and I got half-a-crown myself, it would be better. Q: How would it get you into employ? JD: By finding more employment at the machines, and work being more regularly spread abroad, and divided amongst the people at large. One man is now regularly turned off into the street, whilst another man is running day and night. Q: You mean to say, that if the manufacturers were to limit the hours of labor, they would employ more people? JD: Yes. Part A Why does Joshua Drake allow his children to work in textile factories? List at least two pieces of evidence. Your answer should be in full sentences.

Plz me asap. upon arrival of european powers on american soil, a quick end came to many native populations. numbers were devastated the longer europeans were present. many empires such as the aztec and inca were taken by force. the natives’ weapons of arrows and rocks were no match for gunpowder, steel swords, and horses. yet even after hostile takeovers, the native americans continued to suffer in numerous ways. according to las casas, the harshness of the encomienda system took many native lives. examples of such harshness included beatings by colonists and exhaustion caused by never-ending labor. natives were forced into slave labor in order to process colonists’ crops such as sugar cane and tobacco. these crops were referred to as “cash crops”. cash crops are crops grown not for sustenance but because they are extremely profitable. the colonies would have natives tend to these crops and they would then be exported to other european nations for high prices in order to make manufactured or processed goods. native slaves were worked for long hours in extremely hot temperatures with very little food, water, or breaks. they suffered savage beatings for working too slow and some were killed for refusal to work due to their exhaustion. poor health is another struggle natives faced upon european colonization. many natives died from hunger once colonists started to take their land. colonists’ cattle trampled native crops such as corn and squash. but possibly the most devastating factor in declining native populations were the diseases brought by europeans and against which the native people had no immunity. these included smallpox, typhus, chicken pox, mumps, and measles. hundreds upon thousands of natives fell to such diseases. entire villages were wiped out in mere days of the first symptom. native cities throughout the americas became desolate from the fast spread of disease. native american empires such as the aztec and the inca fell to the spanish and portuguese in the 1500s. the aztec alone had between sixteen and eighteen million people under their rule before europeans landed on the continent. why were these empires unable to fight the inevitable take over of european powers? use evidence from the text to support your answer.
