Answer:

During the Atlantic slave trade, Latin America was the main destination of millions of African people transported from Africa to French, Portuguese, and Spanish colonies. Slavery was a cornerstone of the Spanish Casta system, and its legacy is the presence of large Afro-Latino populations.

In addition to the nearly 50 percent of the total number of enslaved Africans in the United States from these two regions, a considerable number of slaves had their origins on the so-called “Slave Coast,” which is now the West African nation of Ghana, as well as neighboring parts of the Windward Coast, now Ivory Coast.

The events that took place are matched to their causes rooted in the Articles of Confederation as follows:

<u>Shays' Rebellion:</u> Could not maintain an army in peacetime
<u>Mount Vernon Conference:</u> Could not regulate interstate trade.
<u>Philadelphia Mutiny:</u> No power to raise money.

<h3>What are the Articles of Confederation?</h3>

The Articles of Confederation are the first written documents that were regarded as the Constitution of the United States of America, which was agreed upon by the thirteen (13) original states.

Under the Articles of Confederation, the federal government was unable to raise money due to the following reasons:

The federal government was not given the power to regulate trade.
The federal government needed approval of the states to collect taxes.
The state and national currencies competed with each other.

In conclusion, the lack of enforcement powers under the Articles of Confederation also affected the ability of the confederate Congress to make decision because it made it very difficult, as they required nine (9) of the thirteen (13) original states to agree before they could take any action on a subject matter in accordance with Article VII.
