Godric was a wealthy merchant who devoted his life to serving God. He showed that a man could serve God better by use of the fortunes he acquired to do Gods work. He later became Saint Godric. Mercantilism stated that the power of a nation was based on wealth which required accumulation of valuable commodities and a balance of trade.
Ibn Khaldun was a great Muslim historian who in 1375 wrote that all civilizations rise, grow then fall and also studied the effect on geography and climate on people.

What was the main concern with excluding slave from American revolutionary was effort?
const2013 [10]

Answer:

The main concern with excluding slave from the American revolution was their agitation for freedom.

Explanation:

At the time of the American Revolution, slaves made up at least 25 percent of the population of North Carolina. In actual numbers, blacks totaled perhaps seventy thousand but no more than 5 percent of them were free. Most blacks, whether slave or free, lived in the countryside and worked the land, planting, harvesting, and preparing crops for market.

Those who lived in North Carolina’s few towns worked at trades or were servants to slaveholders. A few of them were “hired out” by their owners to work for others who needed their labor. All of their earnings, except perhaps for a small allowance, went to the slaves’ owners.

Skilled slaves worked as carpenters, coopers (making barrels), blacksmiths (making iron into tools and shoeing horses), wheelwrights (making and repairing wheels), and in many other skilled occupations. In coastal towns, such as Wilmington and New Bern, they worked in trades that were important to the shipping business. Also in these towns, they may have controlled parts of the local economy, for example, selling almost all the food staples, fish, and fowl (birds).

Just as whites were divided by the conflict between the colonies and England, so blacks faced difficult choices. African-Americans fought for both sides, providing manpower to both the British and the revolutionaries. Their actions during the war were often decided by what they believed would best help them throw off the shackles of slavery. Most believed that victory by the British would lead to the end of slavery.
