According to the annual report of the Bureau of American Ethnology, created by John Powell in 1886, there are 58 Indian linguistic families.  This research showed that different languages were spoken by pre- Columbian in the United Stated.  

The Bureau of American Ethnology was created in 1879 and its purpose was to collect ethnographic and linguistic information related to Indians in North America. In order to carry out this investigation, a very complex project was designed by John Powel, publishing partial results through annual reports and bulletins.

Explain ONE way in which slavery affected relations among African states in the period c. 1200-c. 1450.
maksim [4K]

Answer:

The slave trade brought about a negative impact on African societies and led to the long-term impoverishment of West Africa. This intensified effects that were already present amongst its rulers, kinships, kingdoms and in society.

Some societies preyed on others to obtain captives to exchange for firearms. They believed they had to acquire firearms in this way to protect themselves from attack and capture by rivals. Demand for African captives, particularly for the sugar plantations in the Americas, became so great that they could only be acquired by initiating raiding and warfare. Large areas of Africa were devastated and societies disintegrated.
