Answer:

The level of education and vast possession of knowledge. The scholars of Timbuktu were very learned that Kings at the time called them to settle disputes. A manuscript was recently found in Timbuktu. It was on algebra which was translated to French and taken to France for study. The result indicated that it would be a material that would be taught today in second level of University Education.

The people of Timbuktu were exceptionally educated even by today's standards. Though religious studies was a part of what they studied but they made sure to study everything they find.

Such a historic center of learning cannot be replaced.

What do the indicators used by economists reveal about the economy?
denis-greek [22]

Economic indicators used by economists can indicate the overall health of the economy. They can potentially be anything the investor chooses, but specific pieces of data released by government and non- profit organizations have become widely followed. They include:

1. Employment- perhaps the most important indicator of the health of the economy. It presumes that when people are out of work, they cannot make necessary purchases that drive corporate profits. If favorable,  it results in the biggest one-day movements in both bond and stock markets.

2. Inflation - higher inflation will correspond with high discount rates and subsequently lower project value.

3.Consumer activity -  what people buy and where they shop can provide valuable information about the economy.

4. Investor activity - e.g.  when foreign central banks are buying U.S. treasuries, interest rates often head lower, when rates are lower, stock prices tend to move higher. The reverse is true -  less buying, higher interest rates and,  depressed stock prices

luda_lava [24]
The South could produce all the food it needed, though transporting it to soldiers and civilians was a major problem. The South also had a great nucleus of trained officers. Seven of the eight military colleges in the country were in the South. The South also proved to be very resourceful.

What action started the Mexican American War in 1846?
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

The answer is:

D. US troops, following orders from President Polk, claimed an area of disputed land for the United States which caused an attack by Mexico in retaliation​

Explanation:

The major cause of the war was actually  the annexation of Texas by the US in 1845. Among tensions, skirmishes and a failed diplomatic mission, president Polk ordered American troops commanded by Gen. Zachary Taylor to occupy the disputed zone between Río Nueces and Río Grande (Río Bravo for Mexicans) in January 1846. Taylor´s men were attacked by Mexican troops in April killing or injuring 16 of them. Polk claimed Mexican soldiers had attacked US troops and "shed American blood upon American soil." He requested a declaration of war. Congress overwhelmingly voted to declare war on Mexico on May 13, 1846.
