The life of a slave was often as unbearable as a life can be. They could not be sure they will not be killed at any instant, without a warning, or tortured, or even forced to torture others. 

Some slaves probably favoured death to their fate, and felt that even a slight chance at improvement was worth the risk. Perhaps they hoped they would be either killed or freed, and not tortured, and perhaps they would be tortured anyway by their cruel masters, In a way, for many escape was they only option that offered any sort of hope for a bearable life for them.

inessss [21]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Unfortunately, you forgot to include the map to answer your question.

However, we can comment on the following. Hope it is useful.

We did some research and found a map titled "The Viking Age, A.D. 800-1000." The map is included in a lesson to develop Geography skills such as interpreting symbols, lines, and labels.

If this is the correct map to your question, then the correct answer is the following.

The city on the map that is farthest from the Vikings' homeland is Rome, followed by Paris, and the closest city to Vikings homeland, that appear on the map is London.

The homeland of the Vikings was the modern-day Scandinavian territories of Sweden, Denmark, and Norway.

Which of the king’s actions prompted nobles to force the king to sign the Magna Carta
katrin2010 [14]

The king’s actions that prompted nobles to force the king to sign the Magna Carta was his demand of heavy taxes to fund his unsuccessful wars in France.

This action forced the barons to rebel against the king and the Magna carter was signed in order to limit the king's power.

<h3>What Was the Magna Carter?</h3>

   Magna Carta Libertatum,  which is shortened as the Magna Carta, is a royal charter of rights agreed to by King John of England at Runnymede, near Windsor, on 15 June 1215. This Charter of rights is referred to as the first known documentation of Human Rights.

    Prior to the signing of this charter, the king was viewed as the absolute power and could do as he willed.

  Some of his actions were detrimental to the Nobles and in order to preserve his throne from imminent take over, his subjects forced him to sign the Magna Carta.

Pani-rosa [81]
1. I choose the Emancipation proclamation.
The basis for a democratic country is the guarantee of human rights for all of its citizens and allowing all citizens the right to participate in the government.
Freeing other humans from slavery indicates his will to truly bring equality for all people int he nations, because he knew that slavery robbed the very essence of human rights from the people together with their dignity.

2. I compared it with Habeas Corpus
Habeas Corpus allow prisoners to report unlawful treatment when they're in their sentence. Indeed this represent Lincoln' willingness to preserve human rights, but the impact is nowhere near the Emancipation of Slavery that affect millions of human beings.

3. I belive Barrack Obama would be a good example.
Despite his blunder in adressing several economic issues in united states, General population believe that Obama always tried his best in perserving human rights and democracy. (could be seen by programs such as HAPA that give the right for children that born in united states by non-citizzens the right to be a legal citizen)

olga55 [171]
The careful planning of this document, with Lincoln releasing it at just the right moment in the war, ensured that it had a great positive impact on the Union efforts and redefined the purpose of the war. The Emancipation Proclamation continues to be a symbol of equality and social justice.
