History

borishaifa [10]3 years ago

Since Slaves we're crammed into ships, they often died of disease, as diseases spread much more effectively when people are constantly in contact with each other, as they often were because so many slaves were fit onto each ship. Think about it: You're more likely to catch a cold if you get coughed on no matter what you do , because you are always close to the sick person.

How did various European counties become involved in and impact the outcome of the American Revolution?
Talja [164]

The American Revolution had an important alliance with France in 1778, after having their trust by winning the battle in Saratoga. The French not only recognized the new United States but also trade concessions and privileges.  One year later in 1779, Spain joined the war against the UK in the side of France. The French decision to join the infant United States in its fight for independence was by far the most important factor in America’s winning the Revolutionary War.

What was the subject of the great compromise? what did the delegates at the constitutional convention decide about slavery?
Dimas [21]
The subject of the great compromise was how the congress would deal with legislation. It was a debate whether the states should be equally represented, or should they be represented based on the size of the state, that is, on the size of the population. The decision was to have a compromise and have a bicameral government where both systems would be implemented in the best interest of all states with the senate having equal representation, and the house having population representation.

They decided that for now slavery would be legitimate and legal, but in the future the Congress would decide the future of slavery in the country. The 3/5ths compromise was important in this because of how slaves would account for during census when it comes to representation. In the future however we know what the congress did and how slavery was first forbidden in the North, and then later in the south as well.
