Causes of the Revolutionary War
The American people were strongly independent. They wanted to do things for themselves. Great Britain was a long way away. The American people didn't want people an ocean away telling them how to live their lives.
The British government decided to make the American colonies pay a large share of the war debt from the French and Indian War.
Through the Sugar Act, Stamp Act, and other taxes, the British tried to collect taxes that the American people considered harsh.
The American people also thought that they should be able to send their own people to Britain's Parliament or at least vote for Britain's lawmakers.
The combination of the harsh taxes and the lack of an American voice in Parliament gave rise to the famous phrase "taxation without representation."
Patrick Henry, Thomas Paine, and others called for an independent America, colonies free from British rule and interference.
Americans started stockpiling guns and ammunition in violation of British laws. Their defense of such a stockpile led to the shots fired at Lexington and Concord and the beginning of the Revolutionary War.
A contract is an agreement, usually written out on a legal document, in which it states terms and agreements, as well as rewards that would be given at the end when the terms are met.
For example, a contract for assassination may be posted out in the black market. An assassin would then agree to take on the requirement of the contract. If it is met, the payment would be given to the assassin. If not, then the contract becomes void. This makes contracts important because the terms and everything is written down, and can be looked on for future references.

According to Al Bakri, Kumbi Saleh (Ghana) consisted of two towns. In one town lived the arabs, it held twelve mosquets and numerous wells of sweet water. In this town lived learned men, as well as jurists and religious men. Six miles away laid the city where the king lived (Al Ghaba), in a palace surrounded by a defensive wall.
Only the king and his heir could wear sewn clothes and other accessories, signs of wealth, while the common people that followed his religion could only dress with simplicity, shaving their beards and hair. The king's way of living would exude power, wealth and magnificence, and his followers could only show humility by kneeling and sprinting their heads with dust. While the arabs would greet him by clapping.
As I understand it, the customs in arab lands were much more equal, there were not big social differences between its inhabitants. In the other part of the city, this was not the case, there would be big social differences between the king and its followers, that the author doesn't name bi its etniciti, nationality or religion. They were just the followers of the king.
Coolie was a pejorative word for Chinese indentured laborers, whose living conditions were similar to slavery.
Being a slave, who is unable to leave the duty they are performing for an enslaver and who is treated as the enslaver's property, is both the state and the condition of being an enslaved person. Typically, slavery entails the enslaved individual being forced to labor and having their location or place of residence determined by the enslaver.
Many historical instances of slavery took place as a result of criminal activity, debt, or military loss; other types of slavery were established along demographic lines, such as race. A person may be held in captivity for all of time or for a certain amount of time before being released.
