Answer:

Africans were forced into brutal labor by Belgian rulers to collect rubber, leading to millions of deaths

Explanation:

Under the rule of Belgium, with King Leopold II as its head, the Congo Free State, roughly on the territory of modern day DR Congo, had suffered immensely. Initially, the colony was not barely sustainable, always being on the verge of bankruptcy, but that all changed with the sudden big demand fro rubber. The Congo Basin had loads of it, and the Belgians intended to use that to make profit. The native population was quickly mobilized and was forced to brutal labor force, being constantly tortured, mutilated, beaten up, given only so much food so that they can barely survive to work the next day. This, combined with other factors, led to lot of deaths, the numbers vary anywhere from one to fifteen million deaths. Understandably, the native people rebelled against this, and it turned out to be a long and bloody conflict, where the end result was just more deaths.

What caused problems for Native Americans after the Civil War?
nadezda [96]
Their land was taken over, as was their food source, making it hard for them to survive. They did not have the same rights as Americans either until 1924. They were forced to live on reservations.

How did the debate over the Bill of Rights influence the rights that were finally included in these ten amendments? Give your re
SOVA2 [1]

The Bill of Rights is the name of the first ten amendments to the United States Constitution.

The bill was mostly written to address the objections of Anti-Federalists who were worried about the shortcomings of the Constitution. These amendments have added significant guarantees of personal freedom, limits to state power and other important rights that were not included in the Constitution originally.

The Bill was a result of several other documents that were also influential on the Constitution, such as the Virginia Declaration of Rights (1776), the English Bill of Rights (1689) and the Magna Carta (1215). Madison was particularly significant in the passing of these amendments, as he carefully studied the deficiencies of the Constitution.
