2. what did slave codes enforce? how is this different from other forms of slavery in the past?**
3. explain how slaves were acquired within the african states*

Explanation:

1. The Columbian Exchange brought new crops like potatoes to the Old World, which led to population growth. It also introduced new diseases to the New World that decimated the indigenous populations. For the Old World, another effect was the introduction of new animals such as turkeys. For the New World, the introduction of European livestock like horses changed the way of life and hunting - gathering patterns.
2. The Spanish mined silver in the Americas, particularly in places like Potosí in present - day Bolivia.
3. Some Asian crops grown in the Americas include sugarcane, rice, and bananas.
4. With the decreased Amerindian population, African slaves were brought in to work on plantations and mines.
5. Slave Codes enforced strict social and legal control over slaves, defining them as property and restricting their rights. This was different from past forms of slavery in that it was codified in law in a more systematic and rigid way in the context of the New World colonial economies.
6. Slaves were acquired within African states through various means such as warfare, where captives were taken as slaves, and through debt - bondage or as a result of criminal punishment.
