Diano4ka-milaya [45]
The correct answer is <span>economic issues.

In earlier times in the United States, presidents didn't really do much about economic issues. They believed that the government should keep the market free and not get involved in any way. It was only somewhere near the end of the 19th century that the government started getting involved when progressives started introducing laws to prevent trusts and monopolies and similar things.</span>

What were the two groups of Europeans who explored Africa
Masja [62]

Answer:

Explanation:

The geography of North Africa has been reasonably well known among Europeans since classical antiquity in Greco-Roman geography. Northwest Africa (the Maghreb) was known as either Libya or Africa, while Egypt was considered part of Asia.

European exploration of Sub-Saharan Africa begins with the Age of Discovery in the 15th century, pioneered by Portugal under Henry the Navigator. The Cape of Good Hope was first reached by Bartolomeu Dias on 12 March 1488, opening the important sea route to India and the Far East, but European exploration of Africa itself remained very limited during the 16th and 17th centuries. The European powers were content to establish trading posts along the coast while they were actively exploring and colonizing the New World. Exploration of the interior of Africa was thus mostly left to the Arab slave traders, who in tandem with the Muslim conquest of Sudan established far-reaching networks and supported the economy of a number of Sahelian kingdoms during the 15th to 18th centuries.

At the beginning of the 19th century, European knowledge of the geography of the interior of Sub-Saharan Africa was still rather limited. Expeditions exploring Southern Africa were made during the 1830s and 1840s, so that around the midpoint of the 19th century and the beginning of the colonial Scramble for Africa, the unexplored parts were now limited to what would turn out to be the Congo Basin and the African Great Lakes. This "Heart of Africa" remained one of the last remaining "blank spots" on world maps of the later 19th century (alongside the Arctic, Antarctic and the interior of the Amazon basin). It was left for 19th-century European explorers, including those searching for the famed sources of the Nile, notably John Hanning Speke, Sir Richard Burton, David Livingstone and Henry Morton Stanley, to complete the exploration of Africa by the 1870s. After this, the general geography of Africa was known, but it was left to further expeditions during the 1880s onward, notably, those led by Oskar Lenz, to flesh more detail such as the continent's geological makeup

Native American religious ceremonies: had nothing to do with farming or hunting. were related to the Native American belief that
aev [14]

Answer:

were related to the Native American belief that sacred spirits could be found in living and inanimate things.

Explanation:

The mythologies of the natives of North America comprise many sets of traditional stories associated with religion from a mythological perspective. The indigenous belief systems of America include many sacred stories. Such spiritual stories are rooted in a connection with nature and have many symbols linked to the cycles of seasons, the biodiversity, and natural elements. Also, the idea of mother-earth, a connection with the Earth or the principle of the Great Spirit that encompasses everything, a form of universal and omniscient pantheism, are common. There are also several stories about creation, the link with animal spirits, animism, and the collective memory of common ancestors. Traditional worship practices are often part of tribal gatherings, which include dance, use of hallucinogenic plants, rhythm, songs and trance. For these reasons, Native American religious ceremonies were related to the idea that sacred spirits could be found in living and inanimate things, such as animals, plants, rocks, or rivers.
