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.

The correct answer is Appeasement

The appeasement policy was a measure taken by European economic powers (England and France). It consisted of not stopping the advance and popularity of Nazifascisms, with the intention that Nazi Germany and fascist Italy would bar or even fight communism in the USSR. Since these countries, Germany and Italy were opposed to the communist idea.

This is the biggest and best explanation given as a reason why the economic powers have done nothing to stop Nazism and fascism.

Digiron [165]

Answer: Near the end of the 1800s, Americans viewed the industrialists as robber barons and did not hold trust in them.

There were two types of industrialists, Robber Barons were the untrusted, and then the ones who actually made a positive living and helped others were called, Captains of Industry.
