After the (middle ages, dark ages, treaty of verdun, fall of rome) , there was no central government or organization. people looked for protection from powerful (lords, priest, kings). this relationship led to the feudal system. the king held all the power, and it trickled down to nobles. the (serfs, kings, monks) were at the bottom of the social structure and relied on nobles to keep them safe.

Fall of Rome, Lords, Serfs.

Explanation:

When the Roman empire fell, there was no law enforcers anywhere, this meant that robbers became a usual thing and since the Serfs who were th ebottom of the social structure but also the greatests producers in agriculture and farms were being abused by the thiefs, they seeked protection from lords all over Europe, this meant that the Lord from certain place would offer protection and payed law enforces in exchange for grains, animals and crops. This is the start of the feudal system.

racism and segregation.

from the religious point of view, the conflicts began because of the enmity between catholic and protestants. in 1649, at the insistence of baltimore, the colonial assembly approved the act of religious tolerance, the first law in the colonies granting freedom of worship, though only for christians. in 1654, however, with the protestants of maryland in the majority, the act was revoked. the almost civil war broke out and order was not restored until 1658, when lord baltimore was returned to power.

on the issue of class conflict, the chesapeake region offered few economic opportunities to contract employees who had served their term of obligation. even with the small amount of capital needed to grow tobacco, former hired servants at best became subsistence farmers, a mature class for those called to rebellion, such as those proposed by nathaniel bacon. as the number of new hired workers declined because of limited chances of progress and reports of severe treatment, they were replaced by african slaves.

from the racial point of view, after 1660, the chesapeake colonies imposed laws that defined slavery as a lifelong and hereditary condition based on race. this made slaves profitable because planters could rely not only on their work but also on their children. the slave population, which numbered four thousand in virginia and maryland in 1675, grew significantly by the end of the century.
