    Would you rather be a murderer and bloody killer or a farmer who’s keeping people alive. In the 1400s and early 1500s, the Aztecs dominated the religion around modern day in Mexico city. There was 300 million people that lived there. “The Aztecs lived in a geological basin in central Mexico that is about the size of Rhode island. They were surrounded by high mountain peaks the basin extended 80 miles from north to south and 49 miles from east to west. In Aztec times the basin collected water that formed five interconnected shallow lakes. Which provided splendid irrigation for farming.”I got this from the background essay “ Should Historians emphasize Agriculture or Human Sacrifice.”.…

    From 1865-1900, America was going through a lot of agricultural changes due to the growth of industrialization. Farmers were the most influenced because they found themselves not making any profit from their crops. The new technologies, government policies, and economic conditions all impacted America’s agriculture. In response to these changes, farmers were being treated poorly and found themselves at a loss when it came to working with large corporate companies such as the railroads. During this time period, the shift from American farmers was beginning to surcome to industrialization.…

We have become a well fed society because of the agricultural changes in the past century. Can we go further?

    From the birth of the nation, farming has played a crucial role in the U.S. economy. Initially European agricultural practices were adopted while settlers from the area began to populate the Americas. Agriculture in Colonial America was important to society because it was the primary livelihood for 90% of the population, and most of the farms were specifically used to create food for family use. As settlers moved west, they took advantage of the cooler climate to grow wheat, leading to the “wheat frontier.” In the south, cotton and tobacco served as the regions cash crop. Industrialization and urbanization soon changed the agricultural industry into a lucrative market.…

    Agriculture is the world's most important industry. It provides us with all our food. It also supplies materials for two other basic needs, clothing and shelter. In addition, agriculture provides materials used in making many industrial products such as paints and medicines. About half the world's workers are employed in agriculture -far more than in any other industry. Agriculture is one of the world's oldest industries. It began to develop about 11,000 years ago in the Middle East. At that time, certain Middle Eastern tribes discovered how to grow plants from seeds and how to raise animals in captivity. By about 10,000 years ago, they had mastered these skills and begun to depend chiefly on farming food.…
