Answer:

The Strait of Malacca is a strategic geographical point. It was so 500 years ago and it´s so still today. Its control allowed decisive influence on the trade routes with India and China, as any merchant ships had to pass throught the strait. This was a neuralgic point of the highly valued spice trade.  Afonso de Albuquerque wanted to take control of the routes and establish militarized settlements along them to guarantee Portugal´s hegemony.

How many African American slaves lived on the Negro Fort? a. 500 c. 40 b. 1,000 d. 100
Artyom0805 [142]

Negro Fort was a fort built by the British in 1814, during the War of 1812, on the Apalachicola River, in a remote part of Spanish Florida. It is part of the Prospect Bluff Historic Sites, in the Apalachicola National Forest, Franklin County, Florida.


The fort was called Negro Fort only after the British left in 1815, its later residents and staff were primarily blacks (free Negroes or fugitive slaves), together with some Choctaws. There were a significant number of maroons already in the area before the fort was built[citation needed] and beginning in 1804 there was for several years a store (trading post) there. The blacks, having worked on plantations, knew how to plant and care for crops, and also to care for domesticated animals, mostly cattle.
