The Uniform Commercial Code, section 4-406, addresses the responsibility of the bank verses the customers in a paper society. While commerce is evolving to a technological world, there are some foreseeable reasons to evaluate this section of the UCC because of the reliability of human interaction. The relationship between the customer and the bank was very relevant to conduct business in the banking system, as swift as laws and codes change to protect cyber banking, more of the responsibility or duty is placed on the customer. As we examine these two codes, with a focus on forgery, we will analysis the facts of a case in relationship of the codes. Then explore the current paperless society and the duty of banks, business and customers to
This first raises the question if these lower class white women had any role on the plantation whatsoever, other than the blockade between overseer-slave relations. Studies have shown that the work of these women exceeds the expectations of normal housework, expanding to include producing the goods that the family needs to survive. Despite doing the skills and good work acquired by these women, the planters and even sometimes the slaves would degrade these women. Often times, the owners of the plantations saw the overseers as troublesome lowlifes and their wives and children were just extra mouths to feed. There was a level of inequality between the plantation owners and the labor managers, despite the fact that both were white.
Taudenciah Oluoch History 1302-004 Mr. Terry D. Cowan 21 October 2015 In 1875 the United States got involved in Hawaii, when King Kalakaua signed a treaty with the United States permitting access to American Markets for Hawaiian sugarcane, which was the island 's largest agricultural product. The planters ' belief that a coup and annexation by the United States would remove the threat of a devastating tariff on their sugar also spurred them to action. In 1893 planters staged an uprising to overthrow the queen.
Records show that the men and boys would be the ones harvesting and reaping the fields, planting orchards, and tending to the livestock, while women would only participate in harvest times. Women more often exclusively worked within the household, where they tended to smaller animals and prepared meals throughout the day. The article describes that “Gender-based assignments of many farm chores centered on objective difference in body height and strength rather than on what was deemed culturally appropriate to one sex or the other”, this is where the article describes how some division in labor was stemmed from psychical capabilities. Like men and boy did the lumbering and such and then by association to this task they also did the sawmill, built buildings, shaved shingles and staves, etc. This developed off into the division of trades between men and women, where some simple tasks that young boys did weren’t performed by women.
• 1. HOW DID PATTERNS OF FAMILY LIFE AND ATTITUDES’ TOWARD WOMEN DIFFER IN THE NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN COLONIES? In the southern colonies, women were greatly degraded; men were superior. Women were not able to work in the fields, etc., all of what they could do was to be a wife and maintain the home.
Sally Hemings was a slave on the Monticello plantation in the late 18th century, and her experience helps us to understand that her gender aided the way she was treated versus if they went by the color of her skin (Dilkes Mullins). {Woman during this era were thought of as property, they were objectified, they were treated poorly and had no choice. Their husbands were liable for anything that they did} [Being a female during this era outweighed what one 's social status was. It did not matter what race you were, but if you were a woman, you were treated as such] (Dilkes Mullins). Ms. Hemings was a beautiful sixteen-year-old enslaved girl (Gordon-Reed, 102) who was more than just a slave on the Monticello plantation.
Colonial Women, North & South As the settlements in the North and South began to develop throughout the colonial period (seventeenth century), the experiences of northern women and southern women began to differentiate due to contrasting economic systems, survival imbalances, and dissimilar prominence of religion. Despite the differences between the North and South, some themes remained similar and consistent throughout the colonies, such as gender imbalance and the importance of marital status. One main factor that differentiated northern women’s lives from southern women’s lives was the significant differences between their northern and southern economic systems.
These foreigners brought diseases to which the Hawaiian people were not immune. The population of Hawaii decreased by thirteen percent from about 300,000 citizens in the 1770s to a mere 40,000 by 1893. As more Americans came to the islands, businessmen in the sugar industry began mass producing sugar and gradually increasing their control over the Hawaiian people and their land. To keep the sugarcane plantations running, planters needed workers. Since they had killed of most of the Hawaiians with their diseases the Americans brought in foreign workers from China, Japan, and the Philippines.
Hawaiians lost access to food locations, such as beaches, fertile soil, and forests. The locations were very important for the Hawaiians because their daily foods and resources were brought from there. Some of the important products they didn’t have were firewood, la’i, which is a type of leave, and timber (Hio). This was a major problem because Hawaiians were unable to build shelters, such as houses and ships. This meant less houses and more homeless people, and less people traveling on ships.
Early American social hierarchies differed markedly for women of color—whether free or enslaved—whose relationships to the white regimes of early America were manifold and complex. Throughout the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, women in the colonies of the English West Indies and Carolinas, particularly women of color, were seen as subordinate by white male slave owners because of race and shared oppression of the female gender. However, these women were a means of economic gain for white slave owners. Taken from Africa to the New World as slave laborers, white slave owners valued these women for their ability in domestic work and fieldwork where they performed primarily unskilled agricultural tasks, as well as their potential to bear children. White slave owners of the Early Americas, driven by greed and opportunism, used political laws, physical characteristics of women, and social constructs of gender roles to appropriate
The plantation workers and Kamehameha the third needed more workers that was ready for the hard work that would come with the plantation life. It was very hard for people to make a living off of plantation life. Plantation life in Hawaii in the 1800s was miserable. The living conditions were terrible, the working conditions were tiring, and both genders were very different and had different jobs.
The first colony was founded at Jamestown, Virginia, in 1607. Many of the people who settled in the New World came to escape religious persecution and various other reasons. In this paper we will explore the many roles both male and female colonists as well as Native Africans played. In the colonies gender played a large role in everyday life.
Women were to take care of the house hold duties while the men worked. White women were unable to remarry after divorce, while slaves were not given an option to marry at all. No matter your race, there were no voting rights for women. As African American women they were to raise the children and often did it alone, cook, clean as well as working and laboring hard in the fields. African American women were sexually assaulted by their white masters and often beat by the white women of the house for “allowing” them to do such.
Nowadays, people need to work 20 minutes or less to earn three dollars. When immigrants were working on plantations, they had to work an entire month to earn three dollars. Since there were not many Hawaiians to work on sugar plantations, owners had to bring in immigrants to work instead. From 1852 to 1946, about 385,000 immigrants were brought to Hawaii as laborers (1). Plantation life in Hawaii in the 1800s was not easy because of many reasons.
Enslaved women were given to white women as gifts for christmas and wedding gifts from their husbands. The women were outnumbered on the slave trade. For every two men there was one woman slave on the slave trade. But when it comes to the plantation the ratio of men and women were equal.
