Verdich [7]

Answer:

Tunka Manin - Increased trade of salt and brought economical success

Mansa Musa - Showed of wealth, emphasized education and knowledge.

Askia Muhammad - developed a bureaucratic government and brought about expansion and consolidation

Explanation:

Tunka Manin was a ruler of the Ghana Empire from 1062 to 1076

Manin is known for his involvement with the local communities. He brought economical success to the Ghana Empire. He increased trade, especially that of salt within the empire. Manin was an inspiring figure using an air of divinity and magic, which he used to motivate his people to protect him well. Manin was known to display his wealth by wearing the finest jewels and ivory.

Mansa Musa made a pilgrimage to Mecca which was regarded as his most significant accomplishment. This made a clear sing of wealth to the rest of the world and the enormity of Mali Empire. Musa also quickly established Timbuktu as a place of education and knowledge. People from Africa and the Middle East would come for education purposes.

Askia Muhammad brought about expansion and consolidation which extended the empire to the borders of Yatenga in the South; and from Air in the Northeast to Futa Djallon in Guinea. Instead of staying in the line of Islam, he improved on the traditional model by instituting a system of bureaucratic government which was unparalleled in Western Africa.

How many slaves were relocated to Liberia
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

American Colonization Society (ACS), originally known as the The Society for the Colonization of Free People of Color of America, was founded in 1816 by Robert Finley to encourage and support the migration of free African Americans to the continent of Africa. There were several factors that led to the establishment of the American Colonization Society. The number of free people of color grew steadily following the American Revolutionary War, from 60,000 in 1790 to 300,000 by 1830. Consequently, slaveowners grew increasingly concerned that free blacks might encourage or help their slaves to escape or rebel. In addition, most white Americans saw African Americans as "racially" inferior and felt that "amalgamation," or integration, of African Americans with white American culture was impossible and undesirable. This reinforced the notion that African Americans should be relocated to somewhere they could live free of prejudice, where they could be citizens. The African-American community and abolitionist movement overwhelmingly opposed the project. In most cases, African Americans' families had lived in the United States for generations, and their prevailing sentiment was that they were no more African than white Americans were European. Contrary to stated claims that emigration was voluntary, many African Americans, both free and enslaved, were pressured into emigrating. Indeed, enslavers sometimes manumitted their slaves on condition that the freedmen leave the country immediately. According to historian Marc Leepson, "Colonization proved to be a giant failure, doing nothing to stem the forces that brought the nation to Civil War." Between 1821 and 1847, only a few thousand African Americans, out of the then millions in the US, emigrated to what would become Liberia. Close to half of them died from tropical diseases. In addition, the transportation of the emigrants to the African continent, including the provisioning of requisite tools and supplies, proved very expensive.

After the Franco-Prussian War, why did Germany form alliances and start to build up its military?
Degger [83]

The end of the Franco Prussian War resulted in the defeat of <em>France and subsequent loss of its territories of Alsace and Lorraine to the Germans</em>. This ended the balance of power that had existed in Europe since the Congress of Vienna in 1915.

<em>France was determined to regain its lost territories</em>. This caused Germany to form alliances with the Austro Hungarian Empire and reinforce its military. This period was the prelude to the First World War in 1914.

Arada [10]

The correct answer is C) Resolution.

Based on these words, Paine and Benjamin Franklin share an appreciation for the virtue of resolution.

This was an inspirational quote from Thomas Pain about resolution, the capacity of the colonists to stand tall and act to support the American Revolutionary War of Independence against the British monarchy.

He uses ethos, the appeal to emotions to try to convince his audience.

It refers to the challenges in life and how we respond to confront them and overcome them.

Thomas Pain was the creator of "Common Sense," a pamphlet in colonial times that invited the American colonists to support independence from Britain.
