Answer:
The British Army during the American Revolutionary War served for eight years in campaigns fought around the globe. Defeat at the Siege of Yorktown to a combined Franco-US force ultimately led to the loss of the Thirteen Colonies in eastern North America, and the concluding Treaty of Paris deprived Britain of many of the gains achieved in the Seven Years' War. However several victories elsewhere meant that much of the British Empire remained intact.[1]
In 1775 the British Army was a volunteer force. The army had suffered from lack of peacetime spending and ineffective recruitment in the decade since the Seven Years' War, circumstances which had left it in a dilapidated state at the outbreak of war in North America.[2] To offset this the British government quickly hired contingents of German auxiliaries alongside the regular army units in campaigns from 1776. Limited army impressment was also introduced in England and Scotland to bolster recruitment in 1778, however the practice proved too unpopular and was proscribed again in 1780.

Answer:
A. Changed the makeup of the population of Africa and America
B. Lowered the population of Africa significantly.
C. Caused cultural changes in the Americas.
Explanation:
Even before, <em>slave trades</em>, were already common in Africa. However, a drastic changed occurred with the "Atlantic Slave Trade." This lowered the population of Africa (mainly, <u>Central and West area</u>s) significantly because many of the slaves were transported to America.
The African Kings also took part in the trading. They traded the Africans for different goods, such as guns and ammunition. So, this significantly changed the makeup of the population of Africa and America.<em> </em>
<em>America became the home of many Africans who were enslaved and transported into the country. </em>This then caused a cultural change in America. Many of the enslaved Africans were used by the Americans as helpers in their businesses. They assisted in the <em>sugar and cotton plantations, mining, harvesting in the rice fields</em> and also provided <em>domestic service. </em>Many of the European settlers became immediate landowners, thus they were searching for more workers in their lands.
Answer:
After the Civil War, 4 million former slaves were looking for social equality and economic opportunity. It wasn't clear initially whether they would enjoy full-fledged citizenship or would be subjugated by the white population.
In the 1860s, it was the Republican Party in Washington — the home of former abolitionists — that sought to grant legal rights and social equality to African-Americans in the South. The Republicans — then dubbed radical Republicans — managed to enact a series of constitutional amendments and reconstruction acts granting legal equality to former slaves — and giving them access to federal courts if their rights were violated.
The 13th Amendment, which was ratified in 1865, abolished slavery. Three years later, the 14th Amendment provided blacks with citizenship and equal protection under the law. And in 1870, the 15th Amendment gave black American males the right to vote.
Five years later, Congress passed the Civil Rights Act of 1875, a groundbreaking federal law proposed by Republican Sen. Charles Sumner of Massachusetts, which guaranteed that everyone in the United States was "entitled to the full and equal enjoyment" of public accommodations and facilities regardless of race or skin color.
"What the radical Republicans wanted, led by Charles Sumner in the Senate and Thaddeus Stevens in the House, was probably the largest experiment in social engineering ever taken," says constitutional scholar Lawrence Goldstone. "They wanted the federal government to take these four million newly freed slaves and integrate them fully into society virtually immediately."
