Answer and Explanation:

Slavery in the United States was a paradox because it was stated in the constitution that all men are created equal, yet the same document contradicted it and there were laws such as the Virginia law passed in October 1705, stating that if a master was to kill a slave who was undergoing “correction,” it would not be considered a crime.

The Back-to-Africa Movement: also known as black Zionism or colonization movement was the the view that Americans of African ancestry should return to Africa. It failed woefully as most black Americans did not want to return to Africa. This is most likely because they didn't know the homelands of their ancestors and were not sure where to begin(afraid of starting afresh) or what the "strange land" of Africa held for them.

the Missouri compromise tried to achieve a balance of power between slave states and free states in Congress. It made Missouri a slave state and Maine a free state

The North was becoming more urban and industrial as there was the increase in population with new immigrants. The South started to lose its power in Congress.

John C. Calhoun was a South Carolina senator and was known to utilize the argument of states' rights to protect slavery in the Nullification Crisis of 1832-1833.

States' rights in American refers to the political powers that reserved only/exclusive to the U.S. state governments rather than the federal government as defined by the United States Constitution.

Secession: this is the act of withdrawing from a country or territory or state to form another government(country or territory). Advocates of secession are known as disunionists.

To avoid dissolution of the Union by appeasing both sides on the slavery issue. This is because the threat of dissolution was mainly founded on outstanding slavery issues and tension that would eventually bring about the civil war.

In 1850 when was the slave trade banned

mars1129 [50]

Hello there!

Your answer would be <u>September 20, 1850.</u>

On that day, Congress signed to abolish the slavery trade that was in the District of Columbia in a legislative package called the Compromise of 1850. Even though the slave trade has discontinued, the ownership of slaves continued since this law did not apply to slave ownership. Especially people that live in southern parts of the United States were not happy for things like this to happen, and they wouldn't like slavery to be abolished for good.

Original:

The Middle colonies is the greatest place for wheat production. They have a great soil and hard-working people to harvest the wheat grain and oats. Middle colonies is the only source of wheat, so they also have a great chance to trade with others.

Reworded:

Wheat production is at its peak in the Middle Colonies. They have great soil and hard-working people to harvest the wheat grain and oats. Since the Middle Colonies are the sole provider of wheat, they have a great chance to exchange their goods with others.

List at least three ways in which the Khalifa Foundation can help the poor and needy to meet their basic needs

Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

The programmes it launched last year brought comfort, ease and relief to those affected by natural and man-made catastrophes and calamities across the world.

The Foundation carried out a raft of humanitarian programmes in diverse sectors as health and education within the UAE and beyond, therefore earning itself a prominent place in the world map of humanitarian work. Allied with other stakeholder relief agencies, the Foundation has played a vital role to promote the UAE as a key world donor and provider of humanitarian and relief assistance.

Shaikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Chairman of the Foundation, said humanitarian assistance provided by the UAE to needy population in different parts of the world is in implementation of Shaikh Khalifa’s humanitarian vision and demonstrates the UAE’s commitment to the spirit of tolerance and openness to other nations in a way that serves mutual interests and consolidates international security and peace.

The Foundation’s humanitarian and relief assistance and programmes reached out to poor and needy segments in more than 70 sisterly and friendly countries. Towards that noble end, the Foundation built strategic partnerships and bridges of cooperation with international peer organisations to coordinate relief operations to those in need.

One of the 2012 milestone in the Foundation’s proven record of success, was its cooperation and partnership agreement with the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN) to finance GAIN’s efforts to reduce deaths and disabilities associated with nutritional deficiencies in Afghanistan, particularly among women and children.

GAIN will use the grant from the foundation to ensure increased consumption of fortified foods (wheat flour, vegetable oil and ghee, and salt), and fortified complementary foods for children aged between six and 24 months. The goal of the four-year project is to increase the amount of vitamins and minerals in people’s daily diets and to reduce disabilities related to insufficient nutrients by 30 per cent. The project will benefit 15 million people.

Locally, the Foundation undertook important initiatives : subsidised food items to UAE citizens, cash assistance to students, healthcare programme, Ramadan fast-breaking programme (1.7 million hot meals delivered through 109 sites), and Khalifa bin Zayed Village for Social Care in Umm Al Qaiwain.
