Indeed such were the horrors of my views and fears at the moment, that, if ten thousand worlds had been my own, I would have fre

ely parted with them all to have exchanged my condition with that of the meanest slave in my own country. When I looked round the ship too and saw a large furnace or copper boiling, and a multitude of black people of every description chained together, every one of their countenances expressing dejection and sorrow, I no longer doubted of my fate; and, quite overpowered with horror and anguish, I fell motionless on the deck and fainted.

When Equiano boarded the slave ship and saw the condition of the other captives, he realized that his fate would be similar to theirs. He knew that he was being taken away to a faraway land, where there would be more misery and more uncertainty. He felt that, if given the opportunity, he would have preferred the life of a slave in his homeland, where he was familiar with the territory, people, and language. The fear of the unknown was overpowering for him.

Slavery was different in the new world since they were not treated as people but as animals and in his home country he knew how slavery worked and how slaves were actually treated as people. He would be a slave at his own home gladly compared to this because he sees the horror around him and the way that the white people are intimidating and completely different from anything he had ever seen.

Why did the United States largely shy away from imperialism prior to 1890?
Galina-37 [17]
The main reason why the United States largely shied away from imperialism prior to 1890 was because it was still a relatively "fragile" nation with a host of its own issues to work out--such as the slavery issue that eventually led to the devastating Civil War.

List four powers of the government under the Articles of Confederation.​
sesenic [268]

Answer:Congress, or the central government, was made up of delegates chosen by the states and could conduct foreign affairs, make treaties, declare war, maintain an army and a navy, coin money, and establish post offices. However, measures passed by Congress had to be approved by nine of the 13 states.

Congress was limited in its powers. It could not raise money by collecting taxes and had no control over foreign commerce; it could pass laws but could not force the states to comply with them. The Government was dependent on the cooperation of the various states to carry out its measures.

The articles were nearly impossible to change, so problems could not be corrected.

Explain the berlin conference
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

Look below

Explanation:

The Berlin Conference is a rather controversial time in the imperialist era of the late 19th and 20th centuries. It was a meeting of the most influential European countries to split up the African continent based on the desires of the colonizers. This resulted in major problems that have lasted till this day due to these colonies and eventual countries being created with no regard to the existing cultural divides present in Africa already. As a result, the Berlin conference caused the fracturing of tribes and forced the union of enemies. Overall, the conference benefited the European colonies at the expense of the African people.

I hope this helps.
