Answer: Throughout the 17th and 18th centuries people were kidnapped from the continent of Africa, forced into slavery in the American colonies and exploited to work as indentured servants and labor in the production of crops such as tobacco and cotton. The Middle Passage was the stage of the triangular trade in which millions of Africans were forcibly transported to the New World as part of the Atlantic slave trade.

Was Thomas Jefferson a hero or a hypocrite?
Gemiola [76]
"Was _______ a hero or hypocrite?" could be asked about almost any figure in history.  Human beings are complicated creatures who live amid conflicting situations.  Rarely do you find anyone who is totally consistent in every point of view they hold and every action that they take.

In the case of Thomas Jefferson, the "hero or hypocrite" question tends to focus on his ideals, as expressed in the Declaration of Independence (which he authored), that all people "<span>are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness" -- as contrasted with the fact that Jefferson owned hundreds of slaves and fathered several children by Sally Hemings, one of his slaves.

Jefferson indeed was heroic as one of America's founding fathers to set this nation on a course of liberty and justice for all.  But slavery was deeply embedded in the colonies and not something easily or quickly undone.  Jefferson's slaves were those which he had inherited from his father or acquired by marriage to his wife, Martha (whose family also owned slaves).  Jefferson had criticized the British for sponsoring the slave trade.  He also led the effort to have the state of Virginia ban the importing of slaves in 1778.  Jefferson did have plans for the emancipating of slaves, seen in a bill he proposed as governor of Virginia in 1779, but recommended emancipation as a gradual process due to the complexities of the situation.  

So, "hero or hypocrite"?  The answer to that is not quick or easy.  Jefferson had ideas and plans to address the slavery situation, but recognized the need to proceed gradually in order to make such a transition without great turmoil affecting the new country.</span>

Which of the following was a result of the British Enclosure Movement?
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Result of the British Enclosure Movement was Small farmers moved to cities

Answer: Option D

<u>Explanation:</u>

The Agricultural Revolution held in Britain was the British Enclosure Movement. In 1700 the British government started taking the communal land and making it privatized. At first the communal land was common to the public where everyone used for grazing.

But during British enclosure the pieces of lands from poor farmers were taken and cultivation on rotation basis was done in the large accumulated land. The wealthy farmers hence had a dramatized increase in food production. They also started industries and mines which later led to the industrial revolution. The small farmers were forced to move to cities.

Elenna [48]

The correct answer is C.

City Commission Government is a form of local government in the United States. The voters select a small commission, typically of five or seven members, who constitute the legislative and executive body of the city. This body enacts local ordinances and administer them.

<em>The commissioners are responsible to the voters</em>. In order to be elected, a commissioner has to present a plan or a vision of goals to be achieved if elected. A candidate may present city planning strategies which appeal to a large number of people. In that case, the commissioner would probably get elected and his city planning initiatives would reflect the ideas of people who voted for him.
