History

pishuonlain [190]4 years ago
7 0
"Although many of the Founding Fathers acknowledged that slavery violated the core American Revolutionary ideal of liberty, their simultaneous commitment to private property rights, principles of limited government, and intersectional harmony prevented them from making a bold move against slavery. In his initial draft of the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson condemned the injustice of the slave trade and, by implication, slavery, but he also blamed the presence of enslaved Africans in North America on avaricious British colonial policies. Jefferson thus acknowledged that slavery violated the natural rights of the enslaved, while at the same time he absolved Americans of any responsibility for owning slaves themselves."

What did France gain by helping the Americans win the Revolutionary War?
lisabon 2012 [21]

<u>Answer</u>:

The French got Senegal in Africa which helped it to gain monopoly over slave trade from Africa.

So, option D is the right answer.

<u>Explanation</u>:

The France had lost all its territories in North America, in the Seven Years wars (1756 - 1763) because of the British. So, it wanted to take revenge and weaken the British. France started helping the American Revolutionary war in 1775.

In 1776, Benjamin Franklin visited France seeking its support. In 1778, a treaty was signed between U.S and France by which France supplied money and arms to the United States. France help was so crucial for U.S because it lacked arms and allies and ultimately, it helped the U.S to gain independence from British. But France accumulated debt because of the costs incurred during its participation in the war.

During the war, France conquered several areas in the Caribbean islands but returned them all except the Tobago, which was a fertile area. After the war, France got Senegal in Africa, which was an important slave trading station, and hence France got a monopoly on the slave trade from Africa. Hence, option D is the correct answer.
