The Stamp Act was a tax on all of the following EXCEPT

2 answers:

7 0

I believe it is A. American colonists were required to pay a tax on every piece of printed paper including playing cards, legal documents, newspapers and other publications. The reason it is called the Stamp Act is because all of these papers had to be physically stamped to prove that they had paid the tax. So it has nothing to do with taxing postage stamps, so the answer should be A.

Which steps did Martin Luther King Jr. outline for a nonviolent campaign in his "Letter from Birmingham Jail"?

olganol [36]

The steps were:

collection of facts to determine if there are injustices
negotiation
self-purification
and direct action

Here is the excerpt from the letter where these steps are:

<em>"In any peaceful campaign, there are four basic steps: collecting facts to determine if there are injustices; negotiation; self-purification; and direct action. We've done all these steps in Birmingham. There can be no gain in stating the fact that racial injustice engulfs this community. Birmingham is probably the most completely segregated city in the United States. His ugly history of brutality is widely known. Black people have experienced grossly unfair treatment in the courts. There have been more unsolved shelling of houses and black churches in Birmingham than in any other city in the country. These are the hard and brutal facts of the case. Based on these conditions, the black leaders tried to negotiate with the city authorities. But the latter consistently refused to take part in bona fide negotiations." </em>

White raven [17]

Answer:

The correct answers are:

C) Building projects such as those to build mosques became a major economic support system for Mali.

D) Not only did Mansa Musa impact the spreading of Islamic education, advancements in architecture were also seen.

Explanation:

Mansa Musa came to power in 1312 and his reign would be marked by a major growth for the region; economic, social and religious, as Mansa Musa was a devout Muslim who promoted this faith in his Empire and spread mosques, madrasas (schools) as well as major urbanization throughout his territory.

Mansa Musa promoted the economic and knowledge flowering in the city of Timbuktu. In it, the Sankore University, which exists to this day, is especially noteworthy.

Mansa Musa promoted the economic and knowledge flowering in the city of Timbuktu. In it, the Sankore University, which exists until today, stands out especially.

The journey of the Mansa is recorded in the year 1325 and it would take a full year to reach its destination and return to its city. Many things have been written about this trip, because in different oral and written sources, impressive details were recorded that seem to exceed reality. It is said that Mansa Musa traveled with a large entourage that was made up of civilians, soldiers and slaves. The number of the procession is disputed, but sources indicate that there were about 60,000 men and 12,000 women.

It should be emphasized that the descriptions of the Mansa's entourage come from oral sources and from different sides, which is why the accuracy of the data in this case is not possible.

It is said that during the trip, Mansa Musa built a mosque every Friday and gave generous gifts to the poor of coins and gold dust. By the way, this fact is pointed out as the cause of the devaluation of this metal and an economic destabilization that impacted even a decade later.
