Statement first is true in this regard because the Spanish had a caste system that included free Africans and former slaves. Cristopher Columbus established the “first Spanish colony” in America, in what now is Haiti and The Dominic Republic.

Since the beginning, Spanish used slavery from Indigenous people in the Americas and they also brought black Africans. Spanish had “Castas”, the equivalent of racial and social hierarchies. Spanish considered slaves inferior beings.

It is true that some people of African descent were not slaves in Spain's American colonies. We know this because of the written records that have been left from that era. Although most African people in America were enslaved, some of them were able to achieve their freedom, particularly in the Spanish colonies. There were several pathways for this. Some slaves were emancipated. Other had such a small percentage of African heritage that they could be considered members of other races. Finally, some others were able to buy their freedom or achieve it through heroic and admirable deeds.

How did the Boxer Rebellion ultimately benefit the United States?

Tresset [83]

The Boxer Rebellion was an anti-foreign and anti-christian movement in China. This was the result of western missionaries arriving in China in the 1860's to convert the locals to christianism, in a country of a predominant taosim and confucionism population. This strong anti-foreign movement was created by a group called "The Boxers" and they seeked rebellion against western powers.

The Boxer Rebellion positively affected USA-Asian relations because of the U.S. suppression of the rebellion which resulted in the end of dynasties and the initiation of the Open Door policy in China, which stopped any country from imperializing China. This event helped to take a country that had been long resentful of foreigners and open it up, overall strengthening the relationship between them and the U.S.

What are the 3 reasons for the annexation of Texas to the U.S.?

marin [14]

Answer:

Here are 3 paragraphs qwq

Explanation:

Until 1836, Texas had been part of Mexico, but in that year a group of settlers from the United States who lived in Mexican Texas declared independence. They called their new country the Republic of Texas, which was an independent country for nine years.

Politics in the United States fractured over the issue of whether Texas should be admitted as a slave or free state. In the end, Texas was admitted to the United States a slave state.

The annexation of Texas contributed to the coming of the Mexican-American War (1846-1848). The conflict started, in part, over a disagreement about which river was Mexico’s true northern border: the Nueces or the Rio Grande.
