Answer:

Because it showed that he was introduced as a child to the violent situations to which slaves were subjected.

Explanation:

At the beginning of his autobiography, Frederick Douglass relates the traumatic experience he had as a child, involving his aunt and his "master". He describes that his aunt, after disobeying the orders of the owner of the property, was tied up and beaten inhumanly until the owner of the property was tired.

Douglass claims he visualized the blood dripping from his aunt's back, while she screamed and agonized at constant lashes. He had never witnessed a situation like this and it scared him deeply.

In what ways did Bartolome de Las Casa take responsibility for the treatment of American Indians? Use evidence from the text.

MAVERICK [17]

Answer: Bartolome de Las Casas characterized the natives in a positive light. Even though he did consider them savages, he believed that the Spanish treated these natives brutally and did not give them enough respect/fair treatment. He wrote about this several times, including his most famous work The Destruction of the Indies.

In this types of writings, he talked about how the natives have already set up a system of government and were very capable people. Just because they did not structure their society like the Spanish, it did not mean they were unfit. Due to this reputation, Casas became known as the "Indian protector."

The natives would have responded pretty favorably to his description, besides the part where he calls them savages. They would probably appreciate his insight on the social structures they established and the system of government they had in place before Spanish colonization.

What must the continuous neutral-current rating be for an autotransformer used to create a three-phase, 4-wire distribution syst

o-na [289]

The continuous neutral-current rating be for an autotransformer used to create a three-phase, it must be sufficient to handle the maximum possible neutral unbalanced load. 450.5.

<h3 /><h3>What is meant by autotransformer?</h3>

A grounding autotransformer is used to create a three-phase, 4-wire distribution system from a three-phase, 3-wire ungrounded system.

A three-phase autotransformer is a special type in which common winding is shared by the high voltage and low voltage. Three-phase AC is supplied at primary and output is collected at secondary. Three phase autotransformer is used for such applications where a small voltage is used in the distribution system.

Autotransformers are frequently used in power applications to interconnect systems operating at different voltage classes, for example, 132 kV to 66 kV for transmission. Another application in industry is to adapt machinery built (for example) for 480 V supplies to operate on a 600 V supply.
