How does the Indian Ocean differ from the Mediterranean Sea or South China Sea as a trading zone?
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

The Indian Ocean Trade began with small trading settlements around 800 A.D., and declined in the 1500’s when Portugal invaded and tried to run the trade for its own profit.

As trade intensified between Africa and Asia, prosperous city-states flourished along the eastern coast of Africa.  These included Kilwa, Sofala, Mombasa, Malindi, and others.  The city-states traded with inland kingdoms like Great Zimbabwe to obtain gold, ivory, and iron.  These materials were then sold to places like India, Southeast Asia, and China.  These were Africa’s exports in the Indian Ocean Trade.  These items could be sold at a profit because they were scarce in Asian countries.

At the same time, the East African city-states were buying items from Asia.  Many residents of the city-states were willing to pay high prices for cotton, silk, and porcelain objects.  These items were expensive because they were not available in Africa at the time.  These were Africa’s imports in the Indian Ocean Trade.

The city-states along the eastern coast of Africa made ideal centers of trade.  An important attraction was the gold obtained from inland kingdoms.  The gold was needed mainly for coins, although it was also used for works of art, ornamentation on buildings, and jewelry.  Also, the city-states were easy to reach from Asia by ship because of the favorable wind and ocean currents.  Ships had no trouble docking at the excellent ports and harbors located on the coasts of the city-states, making it easy to unload and load cargo.  Merchants, tired after their long overseas journey, enjoyed the lodging and entertainment offered

schepotkina [342]

The correct answer is:  

B.The Tammany Hall bosses tried to bribe him and threatened his life.

Thomas Nast rose to fame in the late 1860s when his satirical comics led directly to the arrest of Boss Tweed, for the corrupted “Tweed Ring” he ran in New York City bribing city officials, rigging elections, and corrupting the judiciary.

Tweed attempted to bribe Nast offering him up to $500,000 to study art in Europe. Failing to bribe Nast, Tweed threatened to have the Board of Elections boycott Harper’s books, where Nast worked, but the magazine´s board chose to support the cartoonist depicting Tweed as a thief.

How did southern states react tolthe news of Abraham Lincoln winning the Election of
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

For the most part, states in the South reacted with anger to Lincoln's victory in the election of 1860.  

The major issue of the 1860 presidential election was slavery.  For Southerners, expanding slavery was the critical issue.  Slavery was so pressing that the Democratic party put forth two candidates.  One of them represented the Northern Democrats and the other candidate was for the interests of the Southern Democrats.  Southerners knew that Lincoln and the newly formed Republican party were not going to be friendly to the expansion of slavery in the nation.  

The high voter turnout reflected the voting public's passionate intensity regarding slavery.  Lincoln did not win any electoral votes in the South, but carried the electoral votes in the Northern states.  This helped to enhance the sectionalist feel to the election. Sectionalist feelings became more pronounced with Lincoln's election. Southerners openly embraced secession, or separating from the nation.  South Carolina was the first state to secede upon Lincoln's election, proclaiming "that the Union now subsisting between South Carolina and other states under the name of the 'United States of America' is hereby dissolved" with Lincoln's election in the Presidential Election of 1860.  

There were many reasons as to why Southern states separated from the nation.  Talk of secession was becoming more evident as the partisanship for and against slavery became more entrenched.  For Southern states, the election of Lincoln, though, became seen as a "last straw" and something that showed that compromise on slavery between North and South was impossible to achieve.
