Answer:
The US has a trade deficit with Mexico
Explanation:
Mexico, Canada, and the US have a free trade agreement which gives the US a trade deficit with both Mexico and Canada. This includes the trade of raw goods.
The United States Has a Deficit With Its NAFTA Partners
Canada, the United States, and Mexico are partners in the world's largest trade agreement, the North American Free Trade Agreement.
The second-largest U.S. trade deficit is with Mexico at $81 billion. Exports are $265 billion, mostly auto parts and petroleum products. Imports amount to $346 billion, with cars, trucks, and auto parts being the largest components.
The trade deficit with Canada is $20 billion. The United States exports $299 billion to Canada, more than it does to any other country. It imports $319 billion. The largest export by far is automobiles and parts. Other large categories include petroleum products and industrial machinery and equipment. The largest import is crude oil and gas from Canada's abundant shale oil fields.
One negative about the slave trade was that it tended to increase the amount of war that occurred in West Africa. The reason for this is that European (and American) slave traders did not simply go out into the African countryside and kidnap their own slaves. Instead, they bought slaves from the coastal kingdoms. Those kingdoms generally got slaves to sell through war and through raids against inland tribes. Because the slave traders wanted more slaves, the coastal kingdoms were encouraged to wage more wars and conduct more raids against their neighbors. In addition, those kingdoms were provided with things like guns in exchange for slaves. This helped those kingdoms have a greater capacity for waging war.
This brings us to the one (short-term) benefit of the slave trade: it initially helped the coastal kingdoms. Those kingdoms became richer and more powerful because they were able to get guns, money, and other things in exchange for the slaves.
However, even these kingdoms were hurt in the long term. This is because the slave trade hurt all of West Africa. First, the slave trade took away millions of Africans (men more than women) in the prime of their lives. This badly disrupted both the cultures and the economies of the African nations. Because they were disrupted, they were less able to progress. The link below argues that the slave trade made it harder for Africa to enjoy an agrarian revolution and, in turn, an industrial revolution. This is because the men and women who could have helped make these revolutions were being taken into slavery. Because the African nations did not develop economically and because their societies were weakened, they were unable to effectively resist the Europeans when the Europeans started to colonize Africa.
Thus, we can say that Africa was badly harmed by the slave trade. The trade made war more common, harmed the economies and societies of the nations from which the slaves came, and eventually made it easier for Africa to be colonized by the Europeans.
The correct answers to these open questions are the following.
When the first Europeans arrived, there were 17 different Indian peoples, tribes, and languages in North America?
Answer: false.
It is false that when the first Europeans arrived, there were 17 different Indian peoples, tribes, and languages in North America. When they arrived, historians say that many more Indian tribes and languages already existed in the North American region.
How did the first Americans get to North America?
Answer: They walked over a land bridge from Asia.
Indeed, nomads from Asia were following herds to hunt the animals and feed their families. They used the Bering Strait to cross from Asia)modern-day Russian territory) to Alaska(American territory). Some historians say that in those years, a portion of land was above the sea level and people crossed over it. Other theories say that the strait was frozen and people could cross it to get to what today is Alaska.
Historians are researchers of the past or people who understand the history of people. With this field, they must possess qualities such as being unbiased, patient, efficient reader, has a knack for logic and critical thinking and reasoning, disciplined, open-minded, resourceful, with good analytical ability, good reasoning skills and problem solving.
I guess people getting into disagreements and bullying and stuff.
