Alexander was great indeed. He managed to unite the entire Greece under his rule, and not only that, but he also vastly increased the size of his empire, covering almost entirely what was then the known world. Another great part about him was that he was not merciless towards his enemies and never imposed his religion or laws to anyone, but rather allowed different cultures to remain as they were, as long as they behaved properly and paid taxes and what not.
The answers are A and D.
The transantlantic slave trade involved m<span>illions of Africans kidnapped into slavery over the course of 300 years, and this was primarily necessary to replace the rapidly declining population of native people.
B is incorrect because the Middle Passage was a forced journey across the Atlantic Ocean, from Africa to the Americas. C is incorrect because this had been happening for thousands of years before. One is example is the Jewish people being sold into slavery by various civilizations in ancient times, such as the Egyptians. </span>
In telling the history of the United States and also of the nations of the Western Hemisphere in general, historians have wrestled with the problem of what to call the hemisphere's first inhabitants. Under the mistaken impression he had reached the “Indies,” explorer Christopher Columbus called the people he met “Indians.” This was an error in identification that has persisted for more than five hundred years, for the inhabitants of North and South America had no collective name by which they called themselves.
Historians, anthropologists, and political activists have offered various names, none fully satisfactory. Anthropologists have used “aborigine,” but the term suggests a primitive level of existence inconsistent with the cultural level of many tribes. Another term, “Amerindian,” which combines Columbus's error with the name of another Italian explorer, Amerigo Vespucci (whose name was the source of “America”), lacks any historical context. Since the 1960s, “Native American” has come into popular favor, though some activists prefer “American Indian.” In the absence of a truly representative term, descriptive references such as “native peoples” or “indigenous peoples,” though vague, avoid European influence. In recent years, some argument has developed over whether to refer to tribes in the singular or plural—Apache or Apaches—with supporters on both sides demanding political correctness.
