They traded cloth, iron, and copper in raw and worked form, and cowry shells used by the local populations as currency.
In exchange for their wares, Europeans returned textiles, carvings, spices, ivory, gum, and African slaves.
Are you referring to the arm wrestiling cartoon. This was a very popular political cartoon of the 1950's. One symbol would be the form fitting flags on tthe arm wrestlers. The artist is trying convey that the leaders are fit and want their countries to be active and healthy. The 2nd symbol are the beedy eyes under Reagan's and Gorbechov's TV faces. The artist is trying to convey that there is a shadow government in each country that actually controls their actions.
The 3rd Symbol would be the smiling faces on the screens. The artist is trying to say that the leaders are trying to be friendly even with everything else going on.
I hope that helps and you like my answer so I can get addition points on the site.
Lincoln was firm politically in proposing that slavery is morally wrong but he was not an abolitionist himself.
Explanation:
His views regarding the racial equality were always tending to be controversial and complicated. There had been a situation wherein Lincoln admitted that constitution mandated certain clauses for abolition but he did not know what exactly need to be done to abolish slavery from the current political system.
Lincoln seemed to be working with abolitionists but did not count himself to be totally responsible to abolish slavery. Only with the emancipation he could win over the black’s votes.

Hello, sorry if this wasn't what you were looking for
For my groups that have faced discrimination in American history, I have chosen African Americans and Women. First, let's start off with African Americans!
For the African Americans, they didn't have much rights as other people. They were treated bad just because of their skin color, and because of that, people made them into slaves. They also had to follow the jim crow laws. In 1954 the war of civil rights started, where everyone was fighting for their rights. Then the civil rights have ended it was 1968. They always had hope, because they always passed down the name Martin Luther and how he changed point of views. They will always remember the speech, "I have a dream".
The next group is Women. Women had very little legal rights. They were housewives, they cannot vote nor hold office. They were treated badly just because they were a different gender. They had to put up with the law if they did something bad, and if they did something bad, they would be put in jail. In 1848 they had a Seneca Falls Convention, where all the woman that want rights will go on strike until they get what they want. They were proud and happy. Then in 1869, a National Woman Suffrage Association was held by Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady. This was a woman organization to fight for women's suffrage. They pushed and pushed until they got what they wanted!in 1920 the 19th Amendment for Women gain the right to vote.
For the African Americans and woman, even though they were challenged by the government, they kept going because of love and for the future! They were discriminated and hated on, just because of what they were different in. These groups have gone a far way just to make a change in the future! That's why we have holidays to remind of what they did for us!
There are much more American heroes that I could have picked but I choose African Americans and women because they made a big impact for the future and that could mean a lot for some people. As we continue to go forward we will break the boundaries and limits until we can get full rights!
