drag each tile to the correct box.
match the causes of increased english settlement in the americas to their effects.

causes: inheritance laws, tobacco plantations, wool industry

effects:
displaced farmers were left without fields to farm.
a labor - intensive crop led to labor shortages.
younger sons were left without any share in the family estate.

Explanation:

• The wool industry expanded in England, leading landowners to enclose farmland, which displaced peasant farmers who lost their fields to farm, pushing them to seek opportunities in the Americas.
• Tobacco plantations in the Americas were highly labor-intensive, creating labor shortages that encouraged more English people to migrate as indentured servants or settlers to fill the demand.
• English primogeniture inheritance laws meant only the eldest son inherited the family estate, leaving younger sons without a share, motivating them to migrate to the Americas to build their own livelihoods.

Answer:

• Displaced farmers were left without fields to farm. → wool industry
• A labor-intensive crop led to labor shortages. → tobacco plantations
• Younger sons were left without any share in the family estate. → inheritance laws
