THE ECONOMY OF BRAZIL
The economy of Brazil is pretty good but it doesn't grow very much. Most people think that it's not a very good country with a bad economy but it actually has a very good economy. Most people go there for the warm climate. Other people go there for the great culture or to just look for some fun. It has very cool places too. It has waterfalls and lots of awesome sites!

The Economy is actually very good in Brazil and the places are to die for! It's a very cool place and I think everyone should go there and go site see. I recommend it to like almost everybody it's a very awesome place. It has some good scenery too. Like this waterfall. (Right)

Brazil has the climate is always warm in Brazil because it is right on the equator. It's a great place to catch some sun and to meet great new people. If your looking to just relaxes and has some fun this is the place to go. The climate is very great if you like warm and live in a cold place. There's lot’s of hot beaches and cool places.

The culture is great and the cool places are even better! The hot spots there include waterfalls and cool places! The best place if you want to have a great experience in cool places is probably Iguassu Falls. It is a really cool place and I think it's a really awesome Hot Spot for all people. It is always a good spot for cool pictures and good proof that you have been to another country.

The Eighteenth Century Gold Rush
Settlers came to mine gold in the 18th Century Back then there was a gold rush! Most people were very poor. People heard about the "Gold Rush" and went straight to Brazil from all around the world! People became very rich in just a few days! It took some time though. You had to pan for hours on end without much time to have a break. It was very hard most of the time. For one thing you would have to pan for gold in the river or somewhere near the water. It was very hard work for a settler in the 18th century. It lasted till the 1750's then the gold mines' depleted.

Most people went to Brazil for jobs from around the world. There were many jobs open as miners in Brazil in that time. People would want to be a miner...Sort of. They could, if they had a good eye and could mine very well, get a chunk of gold for themselves! They would also have the dangers of being a miner too. If they wanted to be a miner.

Gold trade was a terrible and a great thing. More people could get jobs in shipping the gold. Also they could visit places they've never been before! They could go all over the world shipping gold and getting paid for it too if they wanted to be on a shipping crew. People would love to be on a shipping crew. Only because they could travel the world while getting paid and also doing they're job.

There was the problem of transportation to other countries though. If some people went by ship then the crew could have experienced storms and hurricanes. If they went by cart, they could run into some storms on land too or have an Indian raid! It also took more time if they went on land. They would rather go on ships then on land. The bad thing was they didn't have planes back then so they couldn't fly. Most people went on boats or ships.

They had big coffee plantations back then and they needed slaves to work the plantation. Slaves where people from different countries and people came and took them from they're home to wherever the plantation was. It was a very cruel thing, they would pack them into a ship that was very cramped and the beds were right next to each other so if the guy next to you threw up it would be all over you! (I know it's nasty) Most of the slaves got sick on the ride there. For showers they would just hose them down with buckets!

Slave trade was good for you and bad for the slaves. Slaves would be separated from they're families and friends to be taken to different plantations. Most people were very mean to slaves and didn't treat them right. They over worked them for no pay! They had to work day long with almost no breaks! Most people didn't care as long as the work would get done with good quality and could get it done fast. Almost all people used slaves back then. People worked in slave trade to get paid for __LOTS__ of money.

That is the general economy of Brazil. For more information on Brazil and it's economy and anything else on Brazil check your local library. Remember you can use this for homework, schoolwork, and jobs.
