Why did the British colonists in what would become the United States choose racial slavery as a primary form of labor? The colonists did not arrive with race-based slavery in mind, but they would begin establishing it within a few decades. So then what other forms of labor did they use or attempt to use on a widespread basis, and why did slavery become so dominant?

Do not do outside research or use external sources for this assignmentAristotle and the ancient Greek virtue ethicists saw a connection between virtue and happiness.  According to Aristotle, at least, it was impossible for one to attain true happiness–eudaemonia, or a “good life”–without first cultivating moral virtue.  Another way of putting this is to say that evil people cannot be happy in this way.  Interestingly enough, contemporary psychological studies of happiness seem to show that he’s right.  People who do “good” are more likely to live satisfying lives than those who don’t.  But Aristotle is making a stronger claim.  He’s saying that it is a contradiction–a logical impossibility–to have a satisfying life without virtue.  That’s different from saying it’s more difficult to do (which is what psychology tells us).  What do you think?  Is it possible to have a satisfying life–to attain eudaemonia–without being a good (virtuous) person?  Can evil people be fully happy? Explain your reasoning.Each discussion post should be at least 250Do not do outside research or use external sources for this assignment

Attached below is sheet music for Debussy’s Reverie. Annotate the first two pages of the score as requested in the 1st bullet point and answer the questions in the 2nd bullet point:• On the score, please mark the harmonic rhythm (below the music) and the phrase rhythm (above the music) from the third measure through the 2nd-to-last measure of page 2. Use brackets.• Compare the harmonic rhythm and the phrase rhythm. Remember: the “phrase markings” do not necessarily line up with the phrases. Some suggestions: do they line up with each other? Is one faster than the other? Does that change? Does any of this determine the effect the music has, and if so, then how?
