The Songhai Empire controlled the production and supply of Salt. This was a very important commodity which was known as white gold at the time.


At its peak the Songhai Empire was the largest and richest Empire in Africa and one of the most powerful in all of the Muslim world.


The cities of Timbuktu and Djenné became importing trading centers and remained one of the most important cities in Africa until the empire's demise.


Apart from salt, the empire grew rich due to its control over vast supplies of Gold, slaves, kola nuts, leather, and dates.



Eventually, the huge riches of the Empire attracted attention from other leaders of the region. In the last 20 years, the kings of Songhai were in constant feud with multinational armies which took a political and economic toll on the Empire.

Why was Garrisons time in Baltimore so important to his evolving views on slavery?
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

Through his newspaper, The Liberator, William Lloyd Garrison spoke out against slavery and for the rights of black Americans for 35 years. The tone of the paper was established in the first issue of the paper with Garrison's editorial entitled, "To the Public," in which he made the bold statement that he would "strenuously contend for the immediate enfranchisement of our slave population." In other words, not only would he crusade for the emancipation of slaves, he would also work to give freed slaves citizenship with the right to vote. And he would do so with determination. . .
