How did local African towns get affected by the Slave Trade?

Social Studies
1 answer:
jeka944 years ago

Answer:

Local towns experienced a loss of economic development and resources that were re-allocated to the Slave Trade. There was also violence and social division.

Explanation:

The beginning of the Atlantic slave trade in the late 1400s disrupted African societal structure as Europeans infiltrated the West African coastline, and this drew people from the center of Africa to the West Coast to be sold into slavery.  It is estimated that a total of 12.5 million Africans were sent across the Atlantic and African slave sellers sold captives to European traders.  On the African side, the slave trade was generally the business of rulers or wealthy and powerful merchants.  At that time, identity was based on kinship and loyalty by means of membership to a specific kingdom. Although the number of African villagers actively involved in the slave trade was small, the villages that experienced raids removed young adults and laborers from the towns, constraining the economic development of African societies and re-allocating resources to the Slave Trade instead of other pursuits. It also encouraged ethnic and social division and a violent disregard for African lives that was based in racism.

Please answer the question correctly with factual information for brainliest.

Answer:

The Monroe Doctrine was to prevent further European colonization in the Western Hemisphere.

Explanation:

Monroe Doctrine, (December 2, 1823), cornerstone of U.S. foreign policy enunciated by Pres. James Monroe in his annual message to Congress. Declaring that the Old World and New World had different systems and must remain distinct spheres, Monroe made four basic points: (1) the United States would not interfere in the internal affairs of or the wars between European powers; (2) the United States recognized and would not interfere with existing colonies and dependencies in the Western Hemisphere; (3) the Western Hemisphere was closed to future colonization; and (4) any attempt by a European power to oppress or control any nation in the Western Hemisphere would be viewed as a hostile act against the United States.

In declaring separate spheres of influence and a policy of non-intervention in the foreign affairs of Europe, the Monroe Doctrine drew on past statements of American diplomatic ideals, including George Washington’s Farewell Address in 1796, and James Madison’s declaration of war with Britain in 1812.

A geologist finds some tilted sedimentary rock layers.
Sedbober [7]

Answer: They were tilted after they were deposited; they were originally deposited horizontally; the youngest layer was originally deposited as the bottom layer; their relative ages have not changed even though they are tilted.

Geologic tilting is the process by which the Earth's rock layers begin to slant irregularly. This can be caused by vertical or horizontal faults, <em>angular unconformity</em> and disturbances on the Earth's magnetic field.

A geologist cannot know the exact age of a rock layer just from looking at it. The information can only be obtained by other methods, to an approximation. He can, however, know that the youngest layer is the one that was originally at the bottom. He also knows that the relative age of the layers has not changed.

<em>Angular unconformity</em> occurs when a new layer of sedimentary rock is deposited  on layers that were already tilted, thus exacerbating it. By looking at the layer carefully, the geologist can find out whether the tilting happened while the sediments were being deposited, or afterwards. He can also know which way they were originally deposited by studying characteristics such as cracks and ripple marks.
