Answer:
Roger decided to build the deck himself
Explanation:
This example illustrates the need to work based on the laws of comparative advantage. Roger needed a deck, he could have paid someone to build it for him, but somehow he identified the need to build his deck himself as he believed it was more costly to employ or pay someone to build the deck for him.
The law of comparative advantage explains the opportunity cost advantage a person/country has over other countries in producing a good or rendering a service. The entity with a comparative advantage can produce for less cost than the others.
Ghana was the African nation that handled all the trades between the traders of the north and the traders of the south. The south traders brought with them the gold that was available in the south while the traders of the north brought with them the salt from the salt mines. Ghana taxed both type of traders in return for protecting the traders from the hand of the bandits. Ghana itselt did not have either the salt mines or the gold mines. Taxing the traders from the north helped Ghana gather the required salt. Ghana started the Brter system of 1 ounce gold for 1 ounce of salt.
Answer - Race as a categorizing term referring to human beings was first used in the English language in the late 16th century. Until the 18th century it had a generalized meaning similar to other classifying terms such as type, sort, or kind. Occasional literature of Shakespeare’s time referred to a “race of saints” or “a race of bishops.” By the 18th century, race was widely used for sorting and ranking the peoples in the English colonies—Europeans who saw themselves as free people, Amerindians who had been conquered, and Africans who were being brought in as slave labour—and this usage continues today.
The peoples conquered and enslaved were physically different from western and northern Europeans, but such differences were not the sole cause for the construction of racial categories. The English had a long history of separating themselves from others and treating foreigners, such as the Irish, as alien “others.” By the 17th century their policies and practices in Ireland had led to an image of the Irish as “savages” who were incapable of being civilized. Proposals to conquer the Irish, take over their lands, and use them as forced labour failed largely because of Irish resistance. It was then that many Englishmen turned to the idea of colonizing the New World. Their attitudes toward the Irish set precedents for how they were to treat the New World Indians and, later, Africans.
Major threats to pioneer life and limb came from accidents, exhaustion, and disease. Crossing rivers were probably the most dangerous thing pioneers did. Swollen rivers could tip over and drown both people and oxen. Such accidents could cause the loss of life and most or all of valuable supplies.
I don't believe so, they considered themselves Americans at that time
