Why was slavery a paradox in the United States? Why did most blacks not want to go to Africa during the colonization movement? W

Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer and Explanation:

Slavery in the United States was a paradox because it was stated in the constitution that all men are created equal, yet the same document contradicted it and there were laws such as the Virginia law passed in October 1705, stating that if a master was to kill a slave who was undergoing “correction,” it would not be considered a crime.

The Back-to-Africa Movement: also known as black Zionism or colonization movement was the the view that Americans of African ancestry should return to Africa. It failed woefully as most black Americans did not want to return to Africa. This is most likely because they didn't know the homelands of their ancestors and were not sure where to begin(afraid of starting afresh) or what the "strange land" of Africa held for them.

the Missouri compromise tried to achieve a balance of power between slave states and free states in Congress. It made Missouri a slave state and Maine a free state

The North was becoming more urban and industrial as there was the increase in population with new immigrants. The South started to lose its power in Congress.

John C. Calhoun was a South Carolina senator and was known to utilize the argument of states' rights to protect slavery in the Nullification Crisis of 1832-1833.

States' rights in American refers to the political powers that reserved only/exclusive to the U.S. state governments rather than the federal government as defined by the United States Constitution.

Secession: this is the act of withdrawing from a country or territory or state to form another government(country or territory). Advocates of secession are known as disunionists.

To avoid dissolution of the Union by appeasing both sides on the slavery issue. This is because the threat of dissolution was mainly founded on outstanding slavery issues and tension that would eventually bring about the civil war.

The tribe migrated across africa bringing iron technology with it

C. Bantu

Bantu-speaking peoples migrated from Western Africa (in the area of modern Nigeria) throughout southern parts of Africa starting around 1000 BC and continuing to the 1500s (or perhaps a bit later, by some accounts).

There is some debate among historians as to whether iron metallurgy arose independently in Africa or was learned or borrowed from the Middle East or Europe. But whether independently invented or borrowed, the fact remains the the spread of iron working in Africa and the spread of Bantu languages by Bantu migration across Africa were correlated events.

Explanation:

World War I, also called First World War or Great War, an international conflict that in 1914–18 embroiled most of the nations of Europe along with Russia, the United States, the Middle East, and other regions. The war pitted the Central Powers—mainly Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Turkey—against the Allies—mainly France, Great Britain, Russia, Italy, Japan, and, from 1917, the United States. It ended with the defeat of the Central Powers. The war was virtually unprecedented in the slaughter, carnage, and destruction it caused.

The outbreak of war

With Serbia already much aggrandized by the two Balkan Wars (1912–13, 1913), Serbian nationalists turned their attention back to the idea of “liberating” the South Slavs of Austria-Hungary. Colonel Dragutin Dimitrijević, head of Serbia’s military intelligence, was also, under the alias “Apis,” head of the secret society Union or Death, pledged to the pursuit of this pan-Serbian ambition. Believing that the Serbs’ cause would be served by the death of the Austrian archduke Franz Ferdinand, heir presumptive to the Austrian emperor Franz Joseph, and learning that the Archduke was about to visit Bosnia on a tour of military inspection, Apis plotted his assassination. Nikola Pašić, the Serbian prime minister and an enemy of Apis, heard of the plot and warned the Austrian government of it, but his message was too cautiously worded to be understood.

Austria-Hungary declared war against Russia on August 5; Serbia against Germany on August 6; Montenegro against Austria-Hungary on August 7 and against Germany on August 12; France and Great Britain against Austria-Hungary on August 10 and on August 12, respectively; Japan against Germany on August 23; Austria-Hungary against Japan on August 25 and against Belgium on August 28.
