Ang relihiyon ay isang kalipunan ng mga sistemang paniniwala, mga sistemang kultural at pananaw sa daigdig na nag-uugnay ng sangkatuhan sa espiritwalidad at minsan ay sa moralidad.[1] Ang maraming mga relihiyon ay may mga mitolohiya, mga simbolo, mga tradisyon at mga sagradong kasaysayan na nilalayon na magbigay kahulugan sa buhay o ipaliwanag ang pinagmulan ng buhay o sansinukob. Ang mga ito ay humahango ng mga moralidad, etika, mga batas relihiyoso o pamumuhay mula sa mga ideya nito ng kosmos at kalikasan ng tao. Tinatayang may mga 4,200 relihiyon sa mundo sa kasalukuyan.[2] Ang karamihan ng mga relihiyon ay may organisadong mga pag-aasal, pinuno (gaya ng kaparian at pastor) o tagapagtatag, isang depinisyon ng kung ano ang bumubuo sa pagiging kasapi o pagsunod dito, mga banal na lugar at mga kasulatang relihiyoso. Ang pagsasanay ng relihiyon ay kinabibilangan rin ng mga ritwal, mga sermon, mga pag-alaala o benerasyon ng isang diyos, mga diyos o mga diyosa, mga paghahandog, mga pista, mga transiya, mga inisiasyon, mga puneral, mga matrimonyo, meditasyon, panalangin, musika, sining, sayaw, o iba pang mga aspeto ng kultura ng tao.[3]
Ang salitang relihiyon ay minsang ginagamit upang ipalit sa pananampalataya. Gayunpaman, ayon kay Émile Durkheim, ang relihiyon ay iba sa pananamapalataya o paniniwalang pansarili o pribado dahil ang relihiyon ay isang panininiwala na natatanging pang panlipunan.[4]
During the American Revolution, the Patriots had boycotted British teas and other goods, accepted the Declaration of Independence, and created New York State. There are other reasons why the Hudson River was important in American history, but these are just a few.

Answer:
African resistance was reported in European sources only when it concerned attacks on slave ships and company barracoons, but acts of resistance also took place far from the coast and thus escaped the slavers’ attention. Africans used to defend themselves from and mount attacks against the slave trade. They ran away, established maroon communities, used sabotage, conspired, and rose against those who held them in captivity. Freed people petitioned the authorities, led information campaigns, and worked actively to abolish the slave trade and slavery.They too delivered speeches, provided information, wrote newspaper articles and books.When the first navigators reached the coast of Mauritania in 1441 and Senegal in 1444, they organized systematic abductions, and met with hostility and reprisals. Although they continued kidnapping, they also started to buy people. But that policy also met with opposition. Kane had succeeded in peopling his kingdom by retaking by force his people who had been kidnapped and by forbidding slave caravans from passing through his territory. Some relatives were even able to trace the whereabouts of kin deported to the Americas and tried - sometimes successfully - to buy their freedom.
