History

Answer:

Most people associate slavery with the American South. However, slaves were utilized in the Caribbean, as well as in all parts of the original colonies and territories that later became the United States. From the time Christopher Columbus (1451–1506) arrived in the Caribbean in 1492, Caribbean Indians were enslaved to work in mines and on plantations. Later, the Spanish began importing African slaves to work the sugar plantations. Because sugar crops required quick processing to avoid spoilage, Caribbean slave life was much harsher than that of slaves in North America. Nineteen-hour days and harsh working conditions led to disease and high death rates. Rather than improve conditions, plantation owners simply increased the number of slaves they imported.

How did Liberia differ from most other African countries in its experience
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

Liberia successfully resisted colonization because of an alliance with the United States.

Explanation:

The Republic of Liberia is an West African state that declared its independence in 1847. It was founded by free blacks and freed black slaves who emigrated from the United States, feeling that by returning to their African homeland they would fare better than in the US, where slavery and racism were still common and widespread. Still, it remained closely linked to the US and was modelled after it. Liberia was unique amongst African nations as it was a settler colony created by blacks from outside Africa. <u>Because of its unique origin and close alliance to the US, it was able resist colonization by the European</u>s, although Liberia still lost several territories to the UK and France that it claimed as its own. Nevertheless, by the turn of the 20th century, Liberia and Ethiopia were the only independent African countries, while the rest of the continent had been divided amongst the European imperialist powers.
