How did the slave trade impact Africa? (5 points)

BartSMP [9]

The correct answer is C) Even though millions of Africans were enslaved, due to new crops that improved Africans’ health, the slave trade did not reduce the overall population of Africa.

The slave trade impacted Africa but even though millions of Africans were enslaved, due to new crops that improved Africans’ health, the slave trade did not reduce the overall population of Africa.

Since the 16th century, European monarchies such as the Spanish and Portuguese had been using African slaves. But then it came the Atlantic Slave Trade in the 18th century that worsened things in Africa. It affected families and societies in many African tribes. It also created an economy based on the slave trade for the few and impoverished the many.

What was causing economic booms in the north and south

just olya [345]

But shortly after arriving, he found that planters throughout the South—including his new employer—weren't doing too hot financially.

Tobacco, the cash crop that had sustained the Southern economy for over a century, had fallen sharply in value.

The South's other exports, like rice, corn, wheat, and indigo, weren't profitable enough to cover the steep costs of land, supplies, and slave labor.

Some plantations attempted to grow cotton, which Europe and the textile mills in the North were increasingly demanding. But besides a few isolated regions, only the green seed variety thrived, and cotton required a full day of manual labor to separate a handful of the soft lint from several pounds of tiny, coarse seeds. The price of slave labor far exceeded any money that could be made cultivating the troublesome product.

Being the Ivy League grad he was, Whitney studied the meticulous work of the few Savannah slaves who cleaned green seed cotton. Then he developed a mechanical device that could replicate the movement of their fingers.

His invention, the cotton gin, was a simple contraption featuring a series of rotating cylinders fitted with wires and brushes that rapidly captured the lint and discarded the seeds. In a single hour, Whitney's machine accomplished more than a team of laborers completed in a full day. Within just one decade the new device had revolutionized cotton production throughout the South.

Define the term "Renaissance," and explain why that period in Western history is referred to as such. Identify some of the major

Marina CMI [18]

"Renaissance" means rebirth. The term refers to how intellectuals, scientists and artists between the 14th and 16th centuries brought back classic Greece and Roman works and a rationalist thinking.

The term is used to remark the difference between the Renaissance times and its immediate previous period, the Middle Ages, which the users of the term Renaissance believe was dark and unfruitful for critical and scientifical thinking.

Three major figures of the Renaissance were:

Leonardo Da Vinci (1452-1519). He was a painter, scientist, architect, sculptor, botanist and much more. His many interests show why he is so representative of the Renaissance: he wanted to understand the world and the human being in all its possible dimensions, and he tried so by trying to go beyond the knowledge and methods utilized in his time. He left many works of art, like the Mona Lisa (c. 1503), and contributed scientific investigation.

Niccolo Machiavelli (1469-1527). He wrote <em>The Prince</em>, the book that founded political science. In this book, politics operate in a realm of its own, detached from moral and religion, something new by then. The prince served to the perception that politics was a field of human action, not of divine action.

Michelangelo (1475-1564). He was an architect, painter, and sculptor. He is most known for the ceiling of the St. Peter's Basilica (1546-1564), remembered by the famous painting where God involved in a form of the human brain touches the hand of Adam, and the sculpture <em>Pietá </em>(1499). He left a legacy of works that influence art until today.
