1 answer:

5 0

At the beginning of 1801, Napoleon wanted to occupy Louisiana militarily. The newly appointed President Jefferson knew he could lose that region, because of the French or the British. Since there were no roads at that time, control of the Mississippi River was vital for the transport of all kinds of products, as well as troops, so Tomas Jefferson hastened the exploration of the same and the west. Surprisingly, the following year France agreed to sell the Louisiana Territory to the USA, which secured control of the Mississippi River and New Orleans. For 15 million dollars, Jefferson increased the size of the USA and gained control of the river, driving the French away from the country.

Help me write a sumary of Thanks Giving history. It doesn't have to be long just a paragraph or so will do

melisa1 [442]

The colonizers came and wiped out the native people Thanksgiving celebrates the genocide of Native American peoples and the holiday belittles their traditions and customs that can no longer be celebrated in today’s world. The Wampanoag Indians lives and society were forever damaged when the English arrived in Plymouth. I still celebrate it as a day to come together with my family and be grateful but it’s important to remember the dark untold history behind this day.

How did the way in which euro- pean colonialists carved up africa in the 1800s lead to civil strife in many new african nations?

Liula [17]

The Europeans did not think about what religions were practiced where or where different tribes were located. So when they divided Africa up tribes were separated and forced to be with other tribes that they might not have gotten along with and religious groups were forced to have to live together, causing a lot of strife to be made known.
