The main idea of "The Negro Speaks of Rivers" is the long history of the black race. This theme can be identified when the speaker in the poem mentions that he has a connection or something that links him to some great rivers. He's trying to explain that, like the rivers that have seen many civilizations grow and flourish, he has also grown and flourish with the rivers.

The speaker mentions four rivers:

- The Euphrates

- The Congo

- The Nile

- The Mississippi

All of these rivers reference different civilizations, and the speaker tries to link the last river he mentions - the Mississippi- to the history of slavery.

So, we can definitely see how the history of the black race is the main idea in this poem, written to explain that, like rivers, the black race has existed as long as history goes, and it has seen civilizations thrive and expand just like rivers.

Why did workers criticise monopolies?<br><br> I will Give Brainliest if i have!!
daser333 [38]

A monopoly is an enterprise that is the only seller of a good or service. In the absence of government intervention, a monopoly is free to set any price it chooses and will usually set the price that yields the largest possible profit. Just being a monopoly need not make an enterprise more profitable than other enterprises that face competition: the market may be so small that it barely supports one enterprise. But if the monopoly is in fact more profitable than competitive enterprises, economists expect that other entrepreneurs will enter the business to capture some of the higher returns. If enough rivals enter, their competition will drive prices down and eliminate monopoly power.

Answer:

from October 1835 to April 1836 between Mexico and Texas colonists that resulted in Texas’s independence from Mexico and the founding of the Republic of Texas (1836–45). Although the Texas Revolution was bookended by the Battles of Gonzales and San Jacinto, armed conflict and political turmoil that pitted Texians (Anglo-American settlers of the Mexican state of Coahuila and Texas) and Tejanos (Texans of mixed Mexican and Indian descent) against the forces of the Mexican government had occurred intermittently since at least 1826.

Colonial Texas

Having won its independence from Spain in 1821, the fledgling Republic of Mexico sought to gain control of its northern reaches, which under the Spanish had functioned as an extensive and largely empty bulwark against encroachment by competing French and British empires to the north. That northern region, which became the state of Coahuila and Texas under the federal system created by the Mexican constitution of 1824, was thinly populated by Mexicans and dominated by the Apache and Comanche Native American peoples. Because most Mexicans were reluctant to relocate there, the Mexican government encouraged Americans and other foreigners to settle there (Spain had opened the region to Anglo-American settlement in 1820). Mexico also exempted the settlers from certain tariffs and taxes for seven years under the Imperial Colonization Law of January 1823. Moreover, though Mexico had banned slavery in 1829, it allowed American immigrant slaveholders to continue using the labour of enslaved people.

Among those who made the most of the opportunity to settle in Texas were Green Dewitt and Moses Austin, Americans bestowed with the title empresario by being granted large tracts of land on which to establish colonies of hundreds of families. Austin died before he could begin that undertaking, but his son, Stephen Austin, realized his father’s ambition and became arguably the most-influential Texian. In fact, in 1826, a militia led by Austin aided the Mexican military in suppressing the Freedonian Rebellion, an early attempt at securing independence from Mexico by settlers in the area around Nacogdoches that had resulted largely from a conflict between old settlers and those who had arrived as part of the grant to empresario Hayden Edwards.
