The correct answer is D. The uncovering of a land bridge that connected the two continents.
Explanation:
In general, scientific evidence and studies show the first people that settled in the American continent were Asian migrants. Moreover, the first migrations from other continents to America occurred around 14000 years ago through the Bering Strait, which is a natural land bridge that connects Asia to America.
Also, by the time the first migrations occurred this land bridge was exposed due to low-level oceans, which allowed people from Asia to migrate to the Americas by walking as they follow animal herds. According to this, the event that made possible the migration from Asia to America was the uncovering of the land bridge that connects the two continents (option D).
Something that I think is important to remember is what economic forces drove slavery. Early on, most slaves were used for mining or as part of the encomienda system (a kind of feudal tributary system with Spanish encomenderos ruling over Native Americans). These slaves were largely Native American because it was easiest to draw labor from near by and the available population largely met the labor demand. Also, the encomienda system fit nicely with the tribute systems already in place in many meso-american societies (although the Spanish drove these systems to an obscene conclusion). This system eventually failed for the reasons you point out.
I think there is a fourth reason for the decline of Native American enslavement. Tribute and mining were no longer seen to be as lucrative as they once were. The real money in colonization was seen as sugar. And this commodity, which required extensive labor, was the major force behind slavery. When you look at where slaves were sent, the biggest destinations were Brazil, Cuba, and other big sugar producers. But by the time the sugar industry picked up, Native American slaves could not meet the labor demands, while African slaves could be easily bought from West Africa for guns, steel, and other goods.
As you mention, many West African states were already players in the slave trade but it wasn't until sugar exploded that there was a European demand for these slaves. Initially, European traders were most interested in extracting gold (this may have been due in part to mercantilism and similar economic theories at the time). Take for example the Gold Coast, which was originally named for its gold mines and gold trade, but by the 1800s hosted one of the biggest slave castles at Elmina (the mine).
Explanation:
The Phrygians (Greek: Φρύγες, Phruges or Phryges; Turkish: Frigler or Frigyalılar) were an ancient Indo-European speaking people, initially dwelling in the southern Balkans – according to Herodotus – under the name of Bryges (Briges), changing it to Phryges after their final migration to Anatolia, via the Hellespont. However, the Balkan origins of the Phrygians are debated by modern scholars.[1][2]
Answer:
The correct answer would be D) all of these
Explanation:
According to Merriam-Webster, a culture is defined as "the customary beliefs, social forms, and material traits of a racial, religious, or social group". With this in mind, it can be understood that what a society creates, celebrates, or practices, is recognized to be a part of their culture.
