question - how did GEOGRAPHICAL factors, TECHNOLOGY innovations, individual inventors, and ENVIRONMENTALISM contribute to the expansion of slavery?
ANSWER : Geographical factors, technology innovations, individual inventors, and environmentalism contributes to the expansion of slavery since the root of slavery, back to indentured servitude, was a result of a need for cheap labor. Slave owners did not want to pay for this labor, they would much prefer and wished to forcefully claim free workers through the system of chattel slavery. The citizens would save money throughout this system, which would go into investments for a successful and rich lifestyle that they may have been looking for. Slaves could be order to labor any command the owner tells them to. For example building or farming depends on the geographical factors. Advances and technology innovations in new machines only assisted slaves and introduced more ways that slaves could work quicker and get the job done earlier, which would put them at a high order.
