Explanation:
In Africa the climate is very harsh
To trade sometimes people have to go very far distances and cross many different climate zones
For example in the desert climate zone, temperatures in the day can get very hot. At night the temperatures can drop below zero.
The harsh climate can affect how fast it will take for traders to get from one place to another. The climate can also affect the amount of goods or kinds of goods the traders can bring or purchase.
Well colonial America had a lot less people and pretty much no government, so you would pretty much be able to do whatever you want, short of major offenses and get away with it.

I hope this helps, Have an amazing day!
Knights were indeed lower than vassals and held less prestige in medieval society. It's not true though, that knights didn't have enough prestige in medieval society. Vassals swore to the king or the ruler of a region, whereas knights often swore to vassals, so they still had people under them, but they were not at the top.
