Which of the following best describes serfs?

Serfs are often described as unfree. More accurately, because that term is usually misunderstood, they might best be called peasants who were bound to the land they lived on but did not own. The problem with the term unfree, is that most people think it means slave, which it was not. Serfs did not have a right to move away from the land they lived on, but unlike slaves they could not be bought or sold, and unlike slaves, they had a right to live and work on the land. They owed the lord rent, usually in the form of labor or a part of the crop, but they had a right to expect the lord to protect them. There is a link to an article on serfs below.


Which best describes how the east African slave trade changed after 1500?

After 1500, the East African slave trade underwent significant changes, largely due to the rise of European colonial powers and the demand for labor in the Americas. The trade expanded as European traders increasingly sought slaves to work on plantations, leading to a more organized and large-scale export of enslaved people from the region. Additionally, the involvement of Omani Arabs and other local traders intensified, facilitating the capture and sale of slaves. This shift marked a transition from primarily regional slavery to a broader, transcontinental system that linked East Africa to global markets.


Which statement best describes one way that Classical Greek sculpture influenced Roman sculptors?

Greek sculpture influenced the Romans from the 2nd century BC. Prominent 1st century BC and 1st century AD Romans such as Cicero and Pliny the Elder greatly admired the innovative work of classical Greek sculpture artists, such as Polykleitos. However, the Romans did not produce much sculpture based on the classical Greek model. Their sculpture was predominantly portraiture (see below) until , from the 1st century AD, the Romans adopted Hellenistic sculpture, which took sculpture to a different level, as a model for their own sculpture. Prior to the influence of Greek sculpture, Roman sculpture was portraiture sculpture (busts). Their portraiture sculpture is regarded as the best sculpture of this kind ever produced.
