What it meant to be an African American in the early nineteenth century??

1 answer:

5 0

Have you read any information on this? The 19th century was a time of slavery, especially in the south. While it is said there were "free" states in the north, many (if not most) African Americans were not educated. This was also a time when many were trying to search for freedom from poor labor conditions, daily beatings, and an overall sense of not being able to do anything but work for a white man. This was also a time where the Underground Railroad was going to help those slaves, yet if caught, they were immediately chained and sent back to the south. African Americans were often sold and traded, too.

Answer:

the difference in latitude is 91.22°

the difference in longitude is 147.95°

Explanation:

For Liverpool, London. The latitude is 53.41°, longitude is -2.99°

For Melbourne, Australia. The latitude is -37.81°, longitude is 144.96°

The negative or positive magnitude of their values shows their position on either sides of the origin of the latitude (equator) and the origin of the longitude (prime meridian).

The latitude measures the relative position of a point, north or south of the equator (latitude 0°). The longitude measures the relative position, east or west of the prime meridian (longitude 0°)

the difference in latitude is 53.41° - (-37.81°) = 53.41° + 37.81° = 91.22°

the difference in longitude = 144.96° - (-2.99°) = 144.96 + 2.99 = 147.95°

Since the words are not bolded, I'm guessing the words that are supposed to be in bold are: "You are such a bull in a china shop."

If that us true (if those are the bolded words) means:
a person who breaks things or who often makes mistakes or causes damage in situations that require careful thinking or behavior

Im not sure what type of metaphor it is but im guessing it is an idiom (I dont even know if that is a type of metaphor)
