What was the greatest danger that the escaped slaves faced?

History

Blababa [14]3 years ago
5 0

The danger and difficulty in escaping from slavery are hard to imagine. Most slaves were illiterate and had no money and few, if any, possessions. The colour of their skin made them easy targets during the daylight for those who would hunt them down—often with the help of bloodhounds—and return them to their owners.

What was the strategic use of Hawaii (Militarily)?
fomenos

Answer:

By the time the United States got serious about looking beyond its own borders to conquer new lands, much of the world had already been claimed. Only a few distant territories in Africa and Asia and remote islands in the Pacific remained free from imperial grasp. Hawaii was one such plum. Led by a hereditary monarch, the inhabitants of the kingdom prevailed as an independent state. American expansionists looked with greed on the strategically located islands and waited patiently to plan their move.

Foothold in Hawaii

Interest in HAWAII began in America as early as the 1820s, when New England missionaries tried in earnest to spread their faith. Since the 1840s, keeping European powers out of Hawaii became a principal foreign policy goal. Americans acquired a true foothold in Hawaii as a result of the SUGAR TRADE. The United States government provided generous terms to Hawaiian sugar growers, and after the Civil War, profits began to swell. A turning point in U.S.-Hawaiian relations occurred in 1890, when Congress approved the MCKINLEY TARIFF, which raised import rates on foreign sugar. Hawaiian sugar planters were now being undersold in the American market, and as a result, a depression swept the islands. The sugar growers, mostly white Americans, knew that if Hawaii were to be ANNEXED by the United States, the tariff problem would naturally disappear. At the same time, the Hawaiian throne was passed to QUEEN LILIUOKALANI, who determined that the root of Hawaii's problems was foreign interference. A great showdown was about to unfold.

Annexing Hawaii

In January 1893, the planters staged an uprising to overthrow the Queen. At the same time, they appealed to the United States armed forces for protection. Without Presidential approval, marines stormed the islands, and the American minister to the islands raised the stars and stripes in HONOLULU. The Queen was forced to abdicate, and the matter was left for Washington politicians to settle. By this time, Grover Cleveland had been inaugurated President. Cleveland was an outspoken anti-imperialist and thought Americans had acted shamefully in Hawaii. He withdrew the annexation treaty from the Senate and ordered an investigation into potential wrongdoings. Cleveland aimed to restore Liliuokalani to her throne, but American public sentiment strongly favored annexation.

The matter was prolonged until after Cleveland left office. When war broke out with Spain in 1898, the military significance of Hawaiian naval bases as a way station to the SPANISH PHILIPPINES outweighed all other considerations. President William McKinley signed a joint resolution annexing the islands, much like the manner in which Texas joined the Union in 1845. Hawaii remained a territory until granted statehood as the fiftieth state in 1959.

Hey can anyone write a poem about early Muslim culture!!<br> In ur own words pls!
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

(The life of a Muslim woman:

I walk with pride in myself instead of doubt, I tell the truth every time I open my mouth. It is hard that is true but I do it for all of you. While others lie because they think it saves this doesn't help pave a good relationship it only damages it.

There may not be many like me, so be kind to me. Many with lie and feel doubt. That is why they shouldn't open their mouth. They should only walk if they do so with pride. And they should never speak if it is going to be a lie.

I have respectful relationships, no yelling or fighting. I don't envy others because I respect me. I don't allow myself to become depressed I pursue many issues that need to be pressed. If I let my self be down life will keep me pressed to the ground. I need to be strong and fight with all of my might.

I can speak just like you so don't treat me poorly too. I learn as I go and walk a long road. Soon in the near future I will have a new home with many things that I own. But this isn't easy to get I need to earn every cent.) -Raymond :3
