Both countries claimed the Ohio River Valley. During the 1740s and 1750s, British colonists began moving into the area because of problems with overcrowding in the 13 colonies. However, the territory was also populated by French fur traders. Hope this helps you!
The main idea of "The Negro Speaks of Rivers" is the long history of the black race. This theme can be identified when the speaker in the poem mentions that he has a connection or something that links him to some great rivers. He's trying to explain that, like the rivers that have seen many civilizations grow and flourish, he has also grown and flourish with the rivers.
The speaker mentions four rivers:
- The Euphrates
- The Congo
- The Nile
- The Mississippi
All of these rivers reference different civilizations, and the speaker tries to link the last river he mentions - the Mississippi- to the history of slavery.
So, we can definitely see how the history of the black race is the main idea in this poem, written to explain that, like rivers, the black race has existed as long as history goes, and it has seen civilizations thrive and expand just like rivers.

The correct answers are France - Fur trade, New Orleans, alliances with American Indias; Spain - Encomienda, Sout America, sugar plantations
Explanation:
French colonization in America began with explorations led by the king Francis I. Additionally, during the 16th century and subsequent centuries French settlements were created in modern Canadian territory as well as in the U.S. territory, this included the creation of New Orleans in the Southeast that even today preserves many cultural French elements.
Besides this, French colonizers relied on trade, one of the most famous products during the time was furs, because these were considered exotic in Europe and led to profit. Additionally, French colonizers established mainly positive relationships with natives as they formed alliances to obtain furs and for defense as it occurred in the French and Indian war that involved French colonizers and Indians fighting against British colonizers.
On the other hand, Spanish colonization began with the arrival of Christopher Columbus and implied the colonization of most South America, Central America, and some regions in North America. Additionally, the Spanish colonizers differ from French because they used agriculture and the labor of Indians to obtain profit, this was possible through a system called encomienda that implied natives forcibly work for colonizers.
Moreover, the economy in the Spanish colonies relied on the exploitation of natural sources such as gold and agriculture. In the case of agriculture, this was based on the labor or Indians and later slaves from Africa and involved crops such as corn and sugar plantations. Indeed, sugar plantations were the main crop in many Spanish colonies.
The correct answer is D - In 1902 Britain wins the South African War and takes over the Transvaal.
The word imperialism means <em>“a policy of extending a country’s power and influence through colonization, use of military force and other means”</em>. This is exactly what happened at the South African War.
The Boer South African Republic (Transvaal) wanted independence - maintain their cultural style, religious beliefs, own language and their way of life - but Britain had interests in that area - especially the gold mines. This is all classic imperialism traits.
