7 0

Answer:

B. They wish to expand their economies.

Explanation:

In the 19th century, Africa became a patchwork of European colonies. Although colonies like Liberia and Sierra Leone were founded by American and British abolitionists as homelands for freed slaves, colonies were mainly set up to exploit the natural resources of the African continent. The primary reason for European colonization of Africa was capitalism. European nations saw opportunity for new trade routes and potential wealth in some of Africa's natural resources.

What solution did the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 offer to the problem of savery? What were the consequences of that solution?
alexandr402 [8]
The solution the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 offered to the problem of slavery was to allow both states to determine their slave or free state status via popular vote. However, both states were widely uninhabited at the time of their admittance and thus a huge number of settlers from free and slave states swarmed upon the states to sway the vote in their favor. This resulted in tragedy in the form of attacks where free and slave supporters clashed in violent and oftentimes deadly confrontation.
