Answer:

The poisoned substance was mixed with arsenic-free zinc and sulfuric acid, resulting in arsine gas.

The gas was later ignited and decomposed into pure metallic arsenic. This test was highly sensitive and could detect even one-fiftieth of a milligram of arsenic. It was a remarkable discovery, since before that, arsenic was widely used as poison in enormous amounts of murders, impossible to detect and trace.

In 150 to 200 words, use evidence to compare the ideas of the abolition of the slave trade and the abolition of slavery.
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

In 1783 in Britain, and most of the world, slavery was an accepted and legal practice.  

Sick slave being thrown overboardIn that year, a case was heard before the British courts.  The insurer of the slave ship Zong, which carried African slaves from Africa to the Americas, refused to pay a claim for “lost cargo”.  That lost cargo was more than 100 sick slaves that had been thrown overboard by the ship’s captain, so that their value could be claimed against the insurers.  If the slaves had died of natural causes (their sickness), no claim could be brought against the insurers.  The insurers won their case.  Efforts to bring murder charges against the ship owners failed.  The slaves were not human beings they were goods.

you're welcome and have a good day.
