Why was it important to have strong people in communities in the slave trade

Vlada [557]

Answer:

Africans organized their societies around the family unit, and gold supply often dictated which society held the most power—until the start of the Atlantic slave trade.

The beginning of the Atlantic slave trade in the late 1400s disrupted African societal structure as Europeans infiltrated the West African coastline, drawing people from the center of the continent to be sold into slavery.

New sugar and tobacco plantations in the Americas and Caribbean heightened the demand for enslaved people, ultimately forcing a total of 12.5 million Africans across the Atlantic and into slavery.

Why was the airplane invented the time it did? Why not 10 years later?

Rufina [12.5K]

While many believe that the airplane was invented by the Wright brothers in Kitty Hawk, N.C., the first man to fly was New Zealander Richard Pearse in 1902, eight months before the Wright brothers first flew. Pearse, according to witnesses, flew a length of 50 to 400 yards in a heavier-than-air machine. Pearse's aircraft was the first to use proper ailerons, which allowed the wings to warp and turn the aircraft. Though many credit the invention of airplanes to the Wright brothers, Richard Pearse never reported his inventions because he didn't know there was any interest in flying.

Though the Wright brothers tested many gliders in the early 1900s, none of them counted as an actual aircraft, and the brothers didn't achieve flight until late 1903 with their first plane, the Flyer I. The craft weighed over 600 pounds, and Orville Wright was the first pilot. The craft remained airborne for 12 seconds and traveled a little over 120 feet.

How did king george's feelings toward the colonies change after the Boston assacre

Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

The "Tea Party" happened in 1770. The Americans threw about $1 million dollars worth of tea into the harbor over the tax placed on the tea. They (Samuel Adams in particular) wanted to send the message "taxation without representation is intolerable."

King George was not particularly happy with his Massachusetts colony prior to the dumping of the tea, but afterward his anger was almost unbridled.

In retribution King George ordered all governors be replaced by English Governor Generals. He also ordered the court system, particularly the maritime courts, be presided over by English judges. And although these acts were meant to apply to all 13 colonies, nowhere were they more obvious than Massachusetts which the King considered the root of all disharmony. He was probably right on that point.
