Hi, I'm pretty sure that is because for many slaves, Canada represented a dream of freedom where slave catchers and lynch mobs couldn’t hurt them. Slaves on the Underground Railroad endured months, and even years, of living like fugitives while bounty hunters and racist government policies were always trying to impede their flight to freedom.
Most slaves started out their journey on the Underground Railroad (which wasn’t an actual railroad but more of a resistance and escape route that was heavily organized by concerned American citizens) by running away from their plantation in the middle of the night. Often the runaway slave was alone, but on many occasions whole families would escape together.
Hope it helps you.
The correct answer is B. After the Second World War, governments made a great effort to encourage international peace and prevent conflict among countries. That is why in 1948, representatives of 58 nations came together to create a list of all human rights that would be fare for everybody around the world.
This group of 58 nations representatives was called the League of Nations, but at the moment the UDHR (Universal Declaration of Human Rights) were established, it was already called United Nations.
Nowadays the UN (United Nations) includes 193 member countries and its main foal is to maintain peace and security for all of its member’s countries.
Answer: Cattle - Europe / Corn - America / Deadly Diseases - Europe / Tomatoes - America / Gold and Silver - Europe.
Explanation:
- Indigenous tribes did not know the livestock that had been domesticated by Europeans in the ancient world. Most of these animals have been a source of nutrition for Europeans for centuries, and for example, the horse has played multiple roles in war, commerce, land cultivation, etc. Bears and moose, on the other hand, were not part of the European table anyway. Of the more significant animals that became part of the European table and came from America is turkey.
- The corn is native to America. Even if Europeans domesticated several plant species, corn was unknown to the conquerors. Shortly after the discovery of the new continent, this variety will become more intensively exported to Europe and become part of the diet of both humans and animals. Many of the varieties that came from America to Europe seemed ridiculous to European nations, as was the case with corn.
- Deadly diseases were brought to America on colonial ships. Europe was much more populated than America during that period. Also, urbanization has taken a lot of momentum in Europe, so big cities are emerging. However, poor sewage systems and generally, poor hygiene have led to various diseases. These deadly diseases will also spread to the Native American population. Many tribes will decimate it.
- Tomato is a plant originating in South America. In Europe, like some other species, until the discovery of America, it was unknown. Tomatoes are mostly grown in warm places. Arriving in Europe, this plant has gained considerable popularity.
- Mining has come from Europe to America. Indigenous tribes did not thus exploit natural resources. On the other hand, European man has always known the value of precious metals since ancient times. With the discovery of a new continent, America was found to be extremely rich in these metals, so more intensive exploration of minerals and the enrichment of colonizers began at the expense of America.
The printing press helped and encourage the European exploration in the XV century in various ways.
The main consequence is that it was possible to spread the knowledge about this discovery quicker than in the past, making people aware of the progress made and giving to more people the benefits derived from explorations.
As the information travel across Europe and more people knew about the possible advantage of the new discoveries, more people wanted to start their own expeditions.
Moreover, the printing press made possible for explorers to share their difficulties, so they can help future explorations and explorers.
Ultimately, it was the power of the knowledge that the printing press made accessible to more people that powered the Europian exploration of the XV century.
