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

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

The correct answer is:

B. The United States became more respected; Americans were proud of their country.

The War of 1812 was a fight between the United States, the United Kingdom, and their respective allies from June 1812 to February 1815. The United States didn't have great relations with the other European countries because of the wars among them. By winning a war with the UK, the United States got much more respect from the other countries. Americans were proud of their country and were able to leave aside the existing differences since England seized the original colonies from the Netherlands in 1659.
