The Act for the Abolition of the Slave Trade, or as it is known the Slave Trade Act 1807, was meant to end slave trade that got its slaves from Africa (D).

Since this was mainly the only place from which slaves were bought, Africa is directly named in the document as the means to end all slave trade.

However, contrary to these expectations, the act did not abolish slavery in English soil. It was thought that by abolishing slave trade, slavery would naturally end. That didn't happen until 1833 with the Slavery Abolition Act that directly abolished slavery in all English soil.

What was an argument against immigration?
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

B. Immigrants took jobs from Americans.

Explanation:

The arguments about immigration is typically not about legal immigrants, but rather, about illegal immigrants. Illegal immigrants are forced not to comply with the law, as, if they are found out, will be deported, forcing them to have to accept jobs that are paid less. However, workplaces who do not need a certain skill set may actively seek out illegal immigrants, as they can be paid for less then the minimum wage, as well as allowing work conditions to be more lenient (which typically means under the federal safe levels). This creates a market where jobs that are typically filled out by native born or legal immigrants are taken away, forcing those who are in the country legally to be jobless and have to heavily rely on the government just to survive. Also, illegal immigrants

There are arguments about legal immigrants as well, that go along the same line of taking jobs, though they are much more fewer then illegal immigrants. Also, Illegal immigrants is the second highest group that commit crime, over the legal immigrant group. A. is also an argument, though rarely used, as illegal immigrants tend to send money away from the US, causing a leakage in the ordinary cash flow, leading to less money in the US overall.

How did Samudra Gupta change policy within India?
Alex777 [14]

died 380 CE), regional emperor of India from about 330 to 380 CE. He generally is considered the epitome of an “ideal king” of the “golden age of Hindu history,” as the period of the imperial Guptas (320–510 CE) has often been called. The son of King Chandra Gupta I and the Licchavi princess Kumaradevi, he is pictured as a muscular warrior, a poet, and a musician who displayed “marks of hundreds of wounds received in battle.” In many ways he personified the Indian conception of the hero.


Samudra Gupta was chosen as emperor by his father over other contenders and apparently had to repress revolts in his first years of rule. On pacifying the kingdom, which probably then reached from what is now Allahabad (in present-day Uttar Pradesh state) to the borders of Bengal, he began a series of wars of expansion from his northern base near what is now Delhi. In the southern Pallava kingdom of Kanchipuram, he defeated King Vishnugopa, then restored him and other defeated southern kings to their thrones on payment of tribute. Several northern kings were uprooted, however, and their territories added to the Gupta empire. At the height of Samudra Gupta’s power, he controlled nearly all of the valley of the Ganges (Ganga) River and received homage from rulers of parts of east Bengal, Assam, Nepal, the eastern part of the Punjab, and various tribes of Rajasthan. He exterminated 9 monarchs and subjugated 12 others in his campaigns.


From inscriptions on gold coins and on the Ashoka pillar in the fort at Allahabad, Samudra Gupta is shown to have been especially devoted to the Hindu god Vishnu. He revived the ancient Vedic horse sacrifice, probably at the conclusion of his fighting days, and distributed large sums for charitable purposes during these ceremonies. A special gold coin that he issued commemorated this ceremony, while another showed him playing the harp; all were of high gold content and excellent workmanship.


The caste status of Samudra Gupta and his successors remains uncertain. It is reasonable to assume, however, that the Guptas supported caste distinctions, and they may have been responsible for the emergence of Brahmanism as a theological system as well as a code of social behaviour, which was carried into present Hindu society.
