How do travel routes of today differ from the trade routes of classical era civilization

1 answer:

4 0

During the Classical Era, long-distance trade routes (Greece to China) were predominately land-based while some short-distance ones took place around Mediterranean and other seas (Egypt to Greece). Today's travel routes are very different as we have begun to use flight to get from point A to point B. Additionally, while the goal in the past was to connect Europe to Asia, today we seem more focused on connecting the Eastern Hemisphere with the Western Hemisphere and thus we look across the large oceans more so than was done in the Classical Era.

What were the issues in the election of 1800, and what were the reactions of the losers and the victors?

sammy [17]

The US presidential election of 1800 is most remembered because of the controversy it went through. This election was mostly based on domestic affairs and foreign affairs played a negligible or no part at all. The two presidential candidates, Jefferson and Aaron Burr were tied with 73 ballots in their favour. John Adams the Federalist got 65 Electoral votes in his favor. Later during the 36th ballot in the House of Representatives Jefferson won and became president. Aaron was chosen the Vice President. So both the winner and loser were satisfied.

How does Hannah-Jones expand on this quote from sociologist Glenn Bracey: ‘‘Out of the ashes of white denigration, we gave birth

Tomtit [17]

This question refers to the essay "The Idea of America" by Hannah-Jones. In this essay, Jones talks about the way Black people experienced, and impacted, the Revolutionary War in the United States. She tells us that:

"...as the sociologist Glenn Bracey wrote, ‘‘Out of the ashes of white denigration, we gave birth to ourselves.’’ For as much as white people tried to pretend, black people were not chattel. And so the process of seasoning, instead of erasing identity, served an opposite purpose: In the void, we forged a new culture all our own."

The explanation the author gives in this text expands on the quote by describing how Black people were able to develop their own selves. We learn that Black people were considered "chattel" and that they were denigrated, minimized and ignored constantly. However, this did not lead to the erasure of their culture. Instead, out of these harsh experiences, Black people were able to create their own identity in a way that continues to our day.

Explain the events that led to France giving up its territory west of the Mississippi River.

sattari [20]

Answer:

France claimed the Mississippi River and all the lands drained by it. However, after land disputes led to the French and Indian War, France was worried that it was going to lose its hold on its land to the British. During the war, France hoped that allying with the Spanish would provide an advantage in the war. The two countries signed the Treaty of Fountainebleau in 1762. Spain agreed to fight with France, and the French gave up all the land they possessed west of the Mississippi River.
