Write a 2-3 paragraph essay using the following prompt. PROMPT:" White is a metaphor for power" James Baldwin

History

Paul [167]2 years ago
7 0

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

White is a metaphor for power." James Baldwin. Unfortunately so true in the history of the United States.

As we have witnessed the recent horrible events in different parts of the United States regarding race violence, we have to make a stop and truly reflect on the reasons for white supremacy in the country. Since colonial times, the race has been an issue. Even after the Civil War, the lesson was not learned and the nation was still divided. Too many things have happened over the years. But white dominance is still one of the US characteristics in society.

Some people thought that the arrival of Barak Obama to the US presidency would change things and that he could unite the nation but things got worse. The US continues to divide more. And with the new US President, the country is completely divided. So yes, white is still the dominant political and economical force in the United States.

How did methods of warfare in World War II differ from those in World War I?
Genrish500 [490]
World War II was fought out in the open with many new machines that had been developed. WWI was fought in trenches--long ditches that had been dug in the ground to be used for protection. During WWI, machine guns had also just been invented, so the war was mainly fought with machine guns and trenches. Hope this helps!

How did slavery impact West Africa?
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

The domestic and agricultural labor became more evidently primary in Western Africa due to slaves being regarded as these "political tools" of access and status. Slaves often had more wives than their owners, and this boosted the class of their owners. Slaves were not all used for the same purpose.

Explanation:

Slavery and the slave trades had a significant impact on the size of the population and the gender distribution throughout much of Africa.By providing firearms amongst the trade goods, Europeans increased warfare and political instability in West Africa. Some states, such as Asante and Dahomey, grew powerful and wealthy as a result. Other states were completely destroyed and their populations decimated as they were absorbed by rivals.

What do the phrases, "the die is cast" and "crossing the Rubicon" mean?
Vikki [24]
The die is cast means an event has happened or a decision has been taken that cannot be changed. It is also a variation of a Latin phrase attributed by Suetonius to Julius Caesar on January 10, 49 BC, as he led his army across the Rubicon river in Northern Italy.

Today, the phrase crossing the Rubicon is an idiom that means to pass a point of no return.
