when I look at this picture I see that trees have been cut down. I assume that the wood from the trees was used for trading, farming or part of the log cabin in the image. Clearing land was mainly for farming, but also for building houses(like the one in the picture). The textbook mentions it took years to raise a crop to be sold. which caused a lot of people to be in debt and mortgage next year’s crop.
In the image I see a mother and her son talking to a man in higher class clothes. The mother and her son are probably tenant farmers who a farm a part of land that is owned by the man in the suit. However, this is relevant because a lot of people were angered by the class system and wished to escape it. (A class system is a society in which those born into privileged groups had rights and advantages that others do not)
This picture shows soldiers wearing red uniforms, which is a symbol for their loyalty to Britain. The soldiers are on a boat and look like they are travelling to upper Canada.
this image show upper class people walking around. I think they might be walking to the church in the background because religion was very important to them.
The land is separated by the government, church and the citizens. Land problems were mainly the result attitudes in the British government. England was divided into large estates controlled by aristocrats. this wasn’t fair for the other citizens because they got a less land and it was because many principals of the British policy were discriminatory and anti-democratic.
