Please help me
I really need you guys to help me out!
Here we have a paragraph from an article.
"In Saxon England land was cleared from the forest and a large communal area was used for farming, this was divided in to strips called furrows. However by Medieval times the rich landlords had claimed a lot of land and planted hedges to mark their boundaries. This may have meant farming was easier, but for the poor it meant they were beggared and starving, as the loss of their land meant the loss of their livelihoods."
in the last sentence, shouldn't be there "so" instead of "as"?
If i am wrong, please explain why.
thank you
