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.

Explain why many world powers developed extractive economies during the 1800’s and why this was less important for the United St
AleksAgata [21]

Many economies from Europe and other areas  like Japan which were very powerful during the 1800s and 1900s. As a consequence of this, these nations  were competing to extend and dominate other regions around the world. Imperialism was growing very rapidly at that time.

Europeans nations in particular, were adding new colonies from Africa and Asia to the ones they already had established in the exploration age. Japan and the United States, were also contemplating the benefits of imperialism.

All these powerful countries could now  get all kinds of products and raw materials from the new acquired colonies, and that is why they were called extraction economies.

Contrary to these nations, the United States did not have a shortage of raw material, so it was not that important to them. In fact, the U.S. was producing a grater amount of goods than they could consume. There was not any need to get colonies for the sole purpose of extract their products and raw materials.

I can only really answer 1 thing, Describe Japan geographically, so here we go.

Japan, geographically, is one of the worst countries. It's like Italy, but worse, Mountains in the Middle with basically Tokyo and Osaka being the only mountain-free places, hence why they're so populated. That's all I can really say about Japan, so sorry if it's not the answer you're looking for, I can try to explain it in the way you want.
