How did the discovery of the Americas affect the people of Africa

History

Well, once the Americas were discovered and the colonist found that the soil was agreeable to grow different crops such as tobacco and cotton the colonists realized that they needed people to pick the crops. Originally indentured servants did the hard labor but then when they found that they could get labor by trading goods with African tribal leaders they resorted to importing Africans to the Americas as labor. The tribes in Africa were constantly fighting and whichever side won the losers became the slaves of the winning tribe. However, as Europeans brought valuable things to the continent of Africa such as weapons, salt, gold, and other things the leaders of the winning tribe would give their slaves to the Europeans. There were cases when Blacks captured other Blacks in Africa for the sole purpose of giving them to the European traders. Hopefully this helps. If you haven't see the movie La Amistad, it will explain in more detail what I have written. I learned a lot from that movie. I must warn you the first 5 to 10 minutes are a bit gory. I had a hard time watching that part.

Which of the following best describes the Aztec
Allisa [31]

Answer:

B. Peaceful farmers

Explanation:

The Aztecs were skilled farmers and gardeners. In the marshland, the Aztecs had very little fertile land. But they appeared able to feed hundreds of thousands of residents of the capital, extracting maximum benefit from the environment in which they settled. In the suburbs of Mexico City, one can find quite unusual agricultural structures, known as floating gardens - chinampas. These buildings are so unusual that they are on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Chinampas is an agricultural structure consisting of canals and artificial islands. These floating gardens built around the city were able to feed a population of several hundred people. Their technology provided a very large crop.
