In 1839, a group of Africans took control of a Spanish ship called La Amistad that was bound for a port in Cuba where the Africa

ns were to be sold as slaves. After seizing the ship, the Africans demanded to be taken back to their homeland, but were tricked by the ship's navigator who set a course that took them along the coast of North America. La Amistad was eventually captured by the United States Navy, and the Africans were held as pirates. Though they were almost taken to be sold in a U.S. slave market, a court case arose regarding whether they could actually be considered slaves. Abolitionists came to the aid of the Africans, and the case eventually reached the Supreme Court in 1841.
Which of the following best explains the result of the case above?
A.
The men were considered slaves because slavery was legal in the U.S. at that time.
B.
The men were considered slaves since they were thought to be the property of Spain.
C.
The men were considered free because U.S. did not have diplomatic relations with Cuba.
D.
The men were considered free since the Atlantic slave trade had been illegal since 1793.

What was one effect of the popularity of suburbia in the1950s
tester [92]
The suburbs became very popular during the 1950s because of post WWII economic prosperity as well as other factors. American cities were viewed as decaying, there were racial fears that led to a phenomenon called "white flight" of whites moving from cities to the suburbs because of racial fear, and also there was affordable housing to be found in the suburbs that provided more space and luxury for the average American family.
