Answer:

false

Explanation:

The tradition of “pardoning” White House turkeys has been traced to President Abraham Lincoln's 1863 clemency to a turkey recorded in an 1865 dispatch by White House reporter Noah Brooks, who noted, “a live turkey had been brought home for the Christmas dinner, but [Lincoln’s son Tad] interceded in behalf of its life. . . . [Tad’s] plea was admitted and the turkey’s life spared.”

Recently White House mythmakers have claimed that President Harry S. Truman began this amusing holiday tradition. However, Truman, when he received the turkeys, and subsequent presidents did not “pardon” their birds. The formalities of pardoning a turkey gelled by 1989, when President George H.W. Bush remarked, “Reprieve,” “keep him going,” or “pardon”: it’s all the same for the turkey, as long as he doesn’t end up on the president’s holiday table.

How did the Atlantic slave trade lead to the stagnation of Africa's culture and economy?
allsm [11]
Africans lost many of their ancient cultures because they were inculcated to the European environment through the slave route. Aside from this, many forms of developments in their own agriculture and other sectors were hampered because many of their populations were sent to European countries.

What 3 factors led to Rome's decline? Give an example of each.
anastassius [24]

1. Internal fight for power

2. Constant attacks

3. Decline in gold and silver resources

Explanation:

The Roman Empire is one of the most famous empire from the antiquity and right so, being an empire that dominated much of Europe and at one point all of the Mediterranean coastline. The empire was built gradually on military power, wise policies, and wealth. This didn't last forever though and eventually the empire crumbled.

The internal fight for power was one major reason. The local powerful houses wanted to become even more wealthy and more powerful. They created their own military forces and disobeyed the central power.

The constant attacks were the major cause of the military weakening of the Roman Empire. Constant attacks from the Huns, Goths, Vandals and others resulted in gradual weakening of the army and loss of territory, eventually becoming to weak to defend the empire.

The wealth in the empire was declining too. The resources of silver and gold run dry, and having no technology to be able to easily discovered new ones the empire started to suffer economically, which of course made huge problems with poverty.
