During the fifteenth century, West Africa experienced development and cultural changes that were majorly influenced <u>by the trade across the region. </u>Muslim traders were able to ship goods from North Africa using camels and large caravans. In this period, the region experienced <u>the introduction of Islam that spread throughout the trade routes. </u>A <u>slave culture started to develop in the region because traders from the North of Africa such as Arabs and Berber wanted servants, soldiers and concubines</u>. There was <u>development of trade cities and sea port cities along the coast of North Africa including Cairo and Marrakesh.</u>

It is during this period that the<u> Islamic law was adopted to help lower crime rates and spread a common language of Arabic</u> that encouraged trade in the region. In addition to that, this region is still famous for <u>the earliest African Civilization, were the individuals in this area smelt iron to make tools that were used to boost agriculture. </u>At the same time,<u> Kingdoms started to develop in the region, for example the ancient Ghana.</u>

What was the main cause of the Panic of 1893?
GaryK [48]
<span>The Panic was the worst economic crisis to hit the nation in its history to that point. Economic historians are not certain what caused it but point to several possible factors. First, too many people attempted to redeem silver notes for gold; ultimately the statutory limit for the minimum amount of gold in federal reserves was reached and U.S. Notes could no longer be successfully redeemed for gold. Next, the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad went bankrupt. Then, the National Cordage Company (the most actively traded stock at the time) went into receivership as a result of its bankers calling their loans in response to rumors regarding the NCC's financial distress. A series of bank failures followed, and the price of silver fell. The Northern Pacific Railway, the Union Pacific Railroad and the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad all failed. This was followed by the bankruptcy of many other companies; in total over 15,000 companies and 500 banks failed (many in the west). About 12%-18% of the workforce was unemployed at the Panic's peak.
