Answer:

I do not agree.

Explanation:

The arrival of the British in sub-Saharan Africa is part of European Colonialism, widespread in various parts of the world, with the aim of exploring and dominating a region and all the resources available in it.

It is common to hear that colonization was a blessing for the life of the colonies because it took culture, religion and modenity to a region considered "wild" and "inadequate". However, we can say that colonization was not a blessing anywhere, since in these regions the adoption of European culture and religion was imposed in very violent and authoritarian ways.

All colonies, including sub-Saharan Africa, already had a population established and organized according to their customs and religion. This population was different from what Europeans considered "civilized", but we cannot deny, that the natives had their own type of civilization that functioned efficiently between their citizens and their territory.

However, Europeans considered themselves the owners of the truth, and the only ones endowed with knowledge and education. They totally ignored native civilizations and their cultures, considering them wild and impure, which needed European society to put them in what was right. They used this concept to justify all the violent exploitation and acculturation that the natives went through, because they believed that God had given them the mission to "fix" the peoples and end the civilization that was established in the place, without any consideration.

How did reformers in the 1800's get public support
kicyunya [14]
I’m not sure which reformers you’re referring. However, most reformers during the stated time period gained support through the press or by word of mouth. Ambient bars and beer halls were a good place for politics to be discussed during the time period. They could have printed their information, or done speeches and events in the public square. (Public square referring to bars, halls, gatherings, or even public protests) at the time boss napping was actually a form of protest in France and other European countries on a smaller scale.

According to the document, why are American women oppressed?
julia-pushkina [17]
There isn't a document but i'm guessing it's a document from a while back so i don't agree with the first person that men hated women cuz nowhere in history does it say that it just gives the general idea that men thought women weren't as capable or worthy so all they were "born" to do was cook clean etc so i would say the answer is that women lacked the right to vote and participate in government
