Answer:

Explanation:

History notes records whaling industry activities as far back as 11th century initiated by the Basques and were later followed by the Dutch, British and Americans.  

However, in America, the native Indians  were also known to have been the first to venture into the industry.  Whaling which was considered a new haven for the jobless and unfranchised, was responsible for the supply of the escalating demand for oil in urban and industrialized America.

At the onset of the 17th century, the exponential demand for this product opened more job vacancies for Indians and free Blacks areas such as Long Island, Cape Cod, Nantucket and Martha´s Vineyard. This period coincided with the arrival of the Quakers abolitionist movement in Salem and around 1659, their activities Nantucket and  New Bedford Massachusetts,  attracted fleeing slaves from the South and provided job opportunities in whaling ships even as ship captains. It has been said that the first anti-slavery movements started in a whaling town.

Absalom Boston, born in Nantucket Massachusetts an African-American is known to have owned  and crewed an all-black  whaling ship which returned six months later with 70 barrels of whale oil with no lives lost.

Why did china and japan have such different experiences during the age of imperialism
mixas84 [53]

Despite being so close to each other, China and Japan differed immensely in every aspect. During the age of imperialism this was well seen. China was ruled by emperor of another ethnic group, as well as being very corrupted, not really caring about the Chinese people. Also, the Chinese were not united, and they had conflict between each other. The country was open to the world, which exposed its vast natural resources, but also weaknesses, so the imperial powers used this in their advantage. Japan, on the other hand, was closed to the world. It was developing behind closed doors. The nationalistic core was very strong, and the nation was united. Being closed to the world also meant that the imperial powers were not really aware of neither the Japanese military power, nor do they have any valuable natural resources, which led to avoiding it.
