I believe it was to honor their gods because they wanted to show the gods that they are worthy of such games and to give the gods something to watch and to entertain them.
Last one and because African Americans were performing the same duties
First off lets start off in the 19th century
America is quite small and everyone there wanted a big shining state that can take on the world (which it is now) First off they wanted a huge army. They also wanted to expand and gain new markets. Lastly they though of cultural superiority Aka Manifest destiny which was them invading Mexico and natives for land and fun fact USA cased the war so its not Mexico's fault for the Alamo TLDR: Wanting a bigger military more and bigger markets. And thinking their cultural is better than others
As g o o g l e this I the correct answer
