About this: The Swahili Coast is a coastal area in Southeast Africa inhabited by the Swahili people. It mainly consists of littoral Kenya, Tanzania, and northern Mozambique. The term may also include some of the Indian Ocean islands, such as Zanzibar, Pate and Comoros, which lie off the Swahili Coast. The Swahili Coast has a distinct culture, demography, religion and geography, and as a result - along with other factors, including economic - has witnessed rising secessionism.
The correct answer is B) existed before other cultures were present in the region.
<em>The Swahili coast developed its own unique culture that existed before other cultures were present in the region. </em>
The Swahili inhabited the African Great Lakes territories and spoke Swahili. They originated from Bantu people, from Kenya and Mozambique. By the 8th century, they traded their products through the Indian Ocean, receiving the influence of cultures such as the Chinese and Arab. It is true that the Swahili coast developed its own unique culture that existed before other cultures were present in the region.
This comes from the Declaration of Independence. It really is a summary of the outcome of the Magna Carta, the document in which King John agreed (a bit unwillingly) to get the consent of the nobility before imposing questionable taxes needed because King John fought unnecessary wars in the opinion of the barons. They were the ones who were going to fight the wars AND collect the taxes. Jefferson was merely restating the rights of those governed. As it turned out, he moved the Magna Carta into the American Constitution.
The 15th Amendment , adopted in 1870, assured the right of African Americans to vote and intended to protect that right against discriminatory laws. This helped some African Americans to get elected to office in some states.
