The British Isles have experienced a long history of migration from Europe. The ancient migrations have come via two routes: along the Atlantic coast and from Germany–Scandinavia. The first settlements came in the Palaeolithic and Mesolithic periods. The earliest evidence of human presence in Ireland is dated to 10,500 BC.[1][2][3]

Research into this prehistoric settlement is controversial, with differences of opinion in many academic disciplines. There have been disputes over the sizes of the migrations and whether they were peaceful. In the latter part of the second millennium, the finds of archaeology allowed a view of the settlement pattern to be inferred from changes in artefacts. Since the 1990s the use of DNA has allowed this view to be refined.

Answer:

Jim Crow laws were in effect after the Civil War, and African Americans were already treated horribly after new changes. Furthermore, it takes a lot of money and votes to elect Senators, particularly if you're a person of color at the time. This suggests that this nation was built on old white men who were ignorant and prejudiced against people of color. The majority of senators today are old white men. Finally, Jim Crow laws restricted African Americans from doing the same actions as white people, morphing American society into one that favors Caucasians.

salantis [7]

Spices were one of the most desired commodities in the 15th and 16th centuries, along with gold and other precious items. Their importance as flavor enhancer already existed before then. Salt and cinnamon were also used as food preservatives. However, that does not explain why their price was so high.

The reason is mainly consumer-demand.

At the time, spices were seen as something exotic from far away lands, lending an image of wealth, social status and prestige to their buyers. They were seen as "luxury goods". Much like designer brands today cost a lot more than regular brands simply because of their name, spices were famous and, therefore, expensive. The belief that spices had medical properties also contributed to their fame.
