The Presidential election of 2008 is considered historic because it was the first time that an African American candidate reached the presidency of the United States of America, as Democrat Barack Obama won against the Republican candidate John McCain.

It was also the first time that one of the two main political parties in the country supported the presidential candidacy of an African-American.

Analyze how european views of non-european peoples and cultures reflected the intellectual changes of the period from the 1760s
Arturiano [62]

Answer: The European views of non-European peoples and cultures reflected the intellectual changes of the time period from 1760-1910 as there is a remarkable shift in the perspective, before 1859. During this time period, the majority of Europeans see themselves as predominant. Prior to 1859, Europeans tended to romanticise the nature of less "developed" civilizations in their "natural form," while post-1859, Europeans believed they were culturally superior through the theory of Social Darwinism and must either teach those of other cultures European ways or allow them to perish.
