Why were West Africans very willing to trade gold from their mines for salt?

History

Because, salt was needed to flavor food, preserve meat, used for medical purposes, and to keep the body healthy. But in West Africa, salt was rare. So, West Africans traded their gold for salt. Salt was so valuable, it was worth its weight in gold. 1 pound of salt = 1 pound of gold. How amazing.

Hope it helped

Who is really “ in charge” of the government in the U.S? Who controls it?
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

well for starters no one is really in charge of the government in the us for now.

Explanation:

First of all because the US overment does not run off of dictatorship and instead runs of a Triparite system based off of branches including the senate, the executive branch, and the Legeslative branch. this derives from both the ancient roman Replublic system and from the ancient Greeks. so even if someone tried to take charge of the us government there would have to be a massive debate between the Triparite system and the us citizens.
