Answer:

General Sani Abacha rose to power in Nigeria through the use of military force, overturning the country’s elections, and taking power after a period of governmental corruption and instability. Abacha maintained his rule with force backed up by militia, stealing over 3$ billion by the time he died in 1998, returning the country to civilian rule.

In Cambodia, and underground communist movement amassed power before launching an armed rebellion against Cambodia’s current government. After a civil war, the Khmer Rouge and its leader Saloth Sar, who adopted the pseudonym Pol Pot, marched into the nation’s capital, declaring their power. The Khmer Rouge maintained their power by executing intellectuals, teachers, merchants, and anyone in opposition to them. Money, private property, and religion were also abolished to form a communist agrarian society in which many more starved. This movement ended in 1998 with the death of Pol Pot.

Haiti's first dictator, François Duvalier, was able to rise to power after becoming minister of public health and being endeared by the country's people. After being elected prime minister, "Papa Doc," a name given to him by the peasant population, became a ruthless dictator. Duvalier maintained his power by suppressing the current Haitian military and forming his own parliamentary forces which terrorized the population. Before his death in 1971, Duvalier declared himself to be president for life and named his son to be his successor.

The New England colonies obviously have a much colder climate, and they were highly focused on trade, fishing, and all of that sort. They also believed in religious freedom. They had farm land, but there wasn't a ton like there was in the middle and southern colonies. There were little to no slaves in these colonies.

The Middle colonies kind of have the middle of the deal. They had fertile farm lands, and are also focused on religious freedom. They had a ton of diversity, and were mainly focused on practices such as representative government. Along with this, they had some slaves, but not nearly as much as the southern colonies.

The Southern colonies are the ones that are a bit more strict on beliefs and protocols and whatnot. They had a ton of fertile farmland, and have a ton of slaves that farm it. They also did have religious freedom. The main businesses in this region were farming, literally everything the Southern colonies did was revolving around farming..

In resolution, the colonies were all different and similar in their own ways. Colonial America was a well run system from what I read, it was divided and each particular region flourished. Each region had different strengths and weaknesses, which each colony endured. Therefore, it was beneficial to combine all of those skills later on when the colonies combined to form the United States.
