A normal platelet count ranges from 150,000 to 450,000 platelets per microliter of blood. Having more than 450,000 platelets is a condition called thrombocytosis; having less than 150,000 is known as thrombocytopenia.
THE APPRENTICESHIP SYSTEM. The term 'emancipation' which was used to describe the Act of 1833 passed by the British Government to put an end to slavery in the British Empire, is ambiguous and misleading. Slaves were not freed in the sense that they were given unrestricted control over their freedom of movement.
Even with this new lease on life for slavery, a lot of the plantation owners were falling into debt by 1860, and the system was again becoming economically shaky. Slaves did provide free labor, but only in a sense; the owners did have to feed, clothe and shelter them, and that cost money.
