Answer:

Because of the cultural heritage that music carries.

Explanation:

The African songs were brought by the slaves to the American countries, where new techniques were developed with new instruments, forming diverse musical genres that characterized the life of black Americans before the American civil war.

Music was used by Africans and African-Americans as a way of expressing desires and needs that were ignored due to adverse political and racial climates.

The songs used by enslaved Africans were not composed for commercial purposes. They were created to transcend and transform. Music was used as a tool to achieve something greater for the good of the community.

For this reason, African Americans believe that because of this cultural heritage, it is in music that they can draw strength and inspiration from the works and the incredible ingenuity, perseverance and creativity expressed in music. These songs are proof that a great light can emerge from the darkest moments of life.

How does examining perspective change the interpretation of the facts concerning the existence and tools of the Cold War
atroni [7]

Examining perspective is the process by which you take an event, a circumstance, or even a place and you evaluate them through examination of characteristics and even emotions and feelings generated in you. A perspective is precisely the way in which you interpret information around you depending on certain aspects like your culture, education, customs and traditions, among other things. In the case of the Cold War and what was used during it, as well as the events that took place, an examining perspective might affect the way that you perceive the events of this time period because it would lead you to understand in a different way what happened and the reasons behind it. So, for example, the circumstances of espionage that led to many confrontations during the Cold War between the U.S and Soviet Union. Culturally, and through education, we have been taught that espionage was wrong and brought many problems with it, not least of which might have been a nuclear confrontation. But through an examining perspective, you take much more than just what you can see, hear, touch and taste and you evaluate every aspect, and understand the when and the why of an event.

How does the map of modern Europe differ from the map of Europe in the 17th century? (5 points)
saul85 [17]
A is most likely right because a lot modern European countries get their borders from cultural and linguistic boundaries after old empires like Austria-Hungary, Russia, and Germany split up. Poland, Czechoslovakia, and Slovenia, just to name a few, were ethnic groups without countries before WW1.

B: isn't true, just look at eastern Europe in the 17th century, tons of ethnic groups living in one country. Even with more immigration to the Europe, most immigrants assimilate into European cultures.

C: Although geography can influence political borders to varying degrees, European nations don't strictly follow physical geographic features to my knowledge. There are a lot of borders based off of rivers you can see have stayed the same despite the rivers moving (Serbia and Croatia's border is a prime example)

D: I don't know what 'define' means in this context, but if it means religion and geography are the main reasons Europe get's their borders is just flat out wrong. We already talked about geography, but religion doesn't effect European borders since most European countries are christians and are secular. The only example I can think off the top of my head of religion affecting borders is in Ireland when they separated the protestant north from the rest of the island which was catholic.

Hope this helped you out :)

The transcendental movement developed between what two wars?
adoni [48]

Answer:

The Transcendental Movement developed between the War of 1812 and the Civil War.

Explanation:

Transcendentalism was an American philosophical, political and literary movement that flourished approximately between 1836 and 1860. It began as a reform movement within the Unitarian Church that sought to extend the application of William Ellery Channing's thought about the inner God and the significance of intuitive thought. For transcendentalists, the soul of each individual is identical to the soul of the world and contains what the world contains. The transcendentalists worked with the feeling that the advent of a new era was at hand. They were critical of their contemporary society for their thoughtless conformity, and urged that each individual seek, in Ralph Waldo Emerson's words, "an original relationship with the universe."
