Malcolm X argues that they are not Americans because I'm guessing that...

1. African Americans were not treated like Americans (whites) on the basis of their skin color, so why call them Americans when they aren't treated like so?

2. African history doesn't just start at slavery. It began years before, therefore their roots are deeper than the country they were born in, it goes back to their ancestors in Africa and their culture derives from that, not the U.S culture.

3. The only factor that made the slaves American was due to slave trade; they were not born in the U.S, just brought there to help profit the whites' and produce mass amounts of cotton. But by the time he was born, most slaves had American-born children so I may have contradicted myself. I hope I helped.

Prior to the arrival of Europeans, what did the natives of North America have in common? (5 points) They had elaborate trade net

olga_2 [115]

The correct answer is A. They had elaborate trade networks.

Explanation

Trade networks are a form of the economic relationship between human communities in which products or services are exchanged for other goods or services or exchange currency. With the arrival of the Europeans in America, it was discovered that the native communities had a very elaborate network of commercial relations that allowed them to exchange their products with the other tribes in different parts of the wide American territory, from where they could obtain different products such as sea fish, river fish, the meat of domesticated animals, fruits, and other products of agriculture. So, the correct answer is A. They had elaborate trade networks.
