Hey there!
The term "slave" refers to a sense of possession and dehumanization.
A slave is different than a servant; the term slave implies that they are owned. It is also accepted that the word slave (at the time) justified the harsh treatment they were given. In the eyes of their owners, they were animals. That was the message spread during the time of slaves. Books like "The Heart of Darkness" exhibit this limited and negative view of Africans in general, not just slaves. This view was reflected in culture, in economics, and in religion. Slaves are not entitled to the same humane rights and have no more standing than a horse, oxen, or any other animal that was used to profit and make a living. It also sadly exemplifies how close-minded the world can be, it happens in all cultures all around the world. It reflects human nature.
I hope this helps!

Answer:
American historians used to try to excuse America's acquisitions of a territorial empire as something of an embarrassing mistake, but that's misleading because one of the primary causes of the phenomenon of American Imperialism was economics; we needed places to sell our amazing new products.
Explanation:
The correct answer is C) the communist takeover in Cuba in 1959.
The event that represented a threat to U.S. national security interests during the 1950s was the communist takeover in Cuba in 1959.
The Soviet Union presence in Cuba, supporting the leadership of Cuban leader Fidel Castro, represented a threat to U.S. national security interests in the region. Cuba is so close to the Florida peninsula, and the presence of the Soviet Union on the island of Cuba worried the US government so much. This was one of the tensest moments between the United States and the Soviet Union during the Cold War years.
