History
1 answer:
emmasim [6.3K]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The Atlantic slave trade had a negative impact on African societies and the long-term impoverishment of West Africa. For some it intensified effects already present among its rulers and kingdoms.

Explanation:

The use of African slave labour was not new. The Spanish and Portuguese had been using African slaves since the 16th century. However, the Atlantic slave trade of the 18th century was a new kind of slavery and was on a scale much greater than ever before.

The implications of the slave trade included:

Effects of the trade on African societies in West Africa

The slave sellers and European ‘factories’ on the West African coast

The development of slave-based states and economies

The destruction of societies

The development of foreign colonies

Leaders of African societies took roles in continuing the trade

Magazines that thrived prior to 1794 were widely read because they were given a generous postal rate to reduce distribution cost
Vesna [10]

Answer:

The answer to the question: Magazines that thrived prior to 1794 were widely read because they were given a generous postal rate to reduce distribution costs, is: True.

Explanation:

The distribution of newspapers, magazines and other such periodicals, has always been under some sort of subsidy from the U.S government. One such help was that initially, the U.S postal service would not charge for postage to the senders, and it only attempted to collect that fee from the receipients of the periodicals, or magazines. People would not necessarily pay the money the U.S.P.S would charge them, but still the periodicals were distributed in great numbers given the subsidies. In 1792, additional help was given to magazines, periodicals and newspapers, as the cost of postage was set even lower than when someone wanted to send a letter. So this further increased the availability of these media. However, it became a problem for the postal service, as they started to see a default problem for them: the senders either did not have to pay for postage, or the rate was very low, and then, receipients would not pay for the postage that was charged to them  for receiving the media. This changed in 1874, when Congress passed legislation for publishers to prepay postage, but at a really low rate. This is why the answer is true.

How does the senator compare the struggle for women’s suffrage to the fight for American independence
mars1129 [50]

In year 1910 Senator Robert Owen passionately fought for the right of women to vote. In his struggle, he famously compared it to the fight for American Independence.

In his opinion, women made up half of all humanity and were equally involved in the development of a modern society, either by being a home marker or even working on the fields.

However, she received little recognition and did not fare well financially. According to him, the American Independence doctrine was ''all governments derive their just powers from the consent of  the governed'' but how can the United States be just, when it denies powers to half of all people living in the country.

According to him, for America to be just and a true democracy, it was evident that women should have an equal vote.

Choose any of the bill of rights (amendment 1 -10 of the US constitution). Provide THREE (3) specific arguments IN FAVOR why thi
Serggg [28]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

I am going to choose the First Amendment to the United States Constitution.

The three specific arguments in favor of why this Amendment is necessary in a democratic society are the following.

1.- One of the most important characteristics of modern democratic societies is that citizens are free. Without freedom, there is no democracy.

2.- People have their own set of belief systems and they will always have them. It is intrinsic to human nature. No matter what religion people profess, it is their right.

3.- The right to assemble in a peaceful way to exchange ideas, no matter what kind of ideas, it's part of any democratic government and society in the world.

The two arguments against why this Amendment may no longer be necessary in today's America.

1.- It is so implicit that citizens have rights that will come a day in which this value of liberty would have no need to be part of a Bill of Rights.

2.- Science and the use of logic could be a substitute for the ingraining belief that people need religion to have something to believe in. When science could be able to explain it all through the use of reason, maybe there won't be the necessity to include freedom of religion as part of the Bill of Rights.

Most of the South’s postwar industrial growth came from a. cotton mills. b. the manufacture of finished products. c. canal build
SpyIntel [72]

The correct answer is:

a. Cotton Mills

During the Reconstruction Era, Cotton became a protagonist in the industrial growth of the Southern States. Southern capitalists sank Money into cotton rather than factories or land. More precisely, they invested in slaves; the average slave owner held almost two-thirds of his wealth in slaves in 1860, much less than he held in land.
