History

Answer:

Because Equiano knew how slavery worked in his own country, but he had no idea what slavery was like in the new world.

Explanation:

Equiano felt more comfortable and secure being a slave in his own country, because he knew how slavery worked in his homeland, he knew the language, the customs and the territory, and, in spite of being in a disadvantaged situation, in his country he was seen as a human being.  However, he had no idea what slavery was like in the new world, where he knew nothing, did not know the language, and was not seen as a human being. The stranger was frightening, and the white men put the slaves into a state of misery because they were seen as a filthy and inferior race.

Answer:

Explanation:

When Equiano boarded the slave ship and saw the condition of the other captives, he realized that his fate would be similar to theirs. He knew that he was being taken away to a faraway land, where there would be more misery and more uncertainty. He felt that, if given the opportunity, he would have preferred the life of a slave in his homeland, where he was familiar with the territory, people, and language. The fear of the unknown was overpowering for him.

How did shifting workforce demographics contribute to the dramatic changes that occurred in the US labor force and industry duri
oksian1 [2.3K]
Most of the people working before WW2 was males, with females doing all the house work, and told to "not get any outside jobs". However, during WW2, all the males were called to serve in the army, which left a lot of vacant space that needed to be filled. The women filled these positions, and took over producing war material. After WW2, some women returned to working at home, however many still wanted to work outside. This led to a shifting workforce of dominately males inside the workforce to more of a half-and-half.

postnew [5]
The correct option is D. During the last six months of the war, the United States of America, release atomic bombs on two different cities of Japan within a short space of interval. This move was not expected at all by the Japanese and it served as the final stroke that breaks the elephant's back. It leads to quick surrender by the Japanese.
