Read the passage from a speech President Jimmy Carter gave in 1979 describing the national mood, followed by a response by Ronal

d Reagan.
The symptoms of this crisis of the American spirit are all around us. For the first time in the history of our country a majority of our people believe that the next five years will be worse than the past five years. Two-thirds of our people do not even vote.

–Jimmy Carter,
1979

Much of this talk has come from leaders who claim that our problems are too difficult to handle. We are supposed to meekly accept their failures as the most which humanly can be done. They tell us we must learn to live with less, and teach our children that their lives will be less full and prosperous than ours have been; that the America of the coming years will be a place where—because of our past excesses—it will be impossible to dream and make those dreams come true. I don’t believe that. And, I don’t believe you do either.

–Ronald Reagan,
1979

How were Carter’s and Reagan’s views in the two passages reflected in the results of the 1980 presidential election?

Most voters agreed that people should learn to live with less.
A majority of voters favored Carter’s view of the nation’s future.
The electorate decided it would never again choose a Democrat as president.
A majority of voters favored Reagan’s view of the nation’s future.

Answer:

A onetime movie star and president of the Screen Actor’s Guild (1947–1952), Reagan was originally a Democrat but turned to the Republican Party and was elected to the first of two terms as governor of California in 1966. He tried unsuccessfully for the Republican presidential nomination in 1968 and 1976, and by the time of the 1980 election he had been stumping in one forum or another for that election for nearly four years. By late 1979 the list of Republican hopefuls had swelled to include Senators Howard Baker (Tennessee), Bob Dole (Kansas), and Lowell Weicker (Connecticut); Representatives John Anderson and Philip Crane (both of Illinois); former Treasury secretary and Texas governor John Connally; and former representative and Central Intelligence Agency director George Bush.

What do you notice about the location where captives were imprisoned and sold?
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer: Out of the roughly 20 million who were taken from their homes and sold into slavery, half didn't complete the journey to the African coast, most of those dying along the way. And the worst was yet to come. The captives were about to embark on the infamous Middle Passage, so called because it was the middle leg of a three-part voyage -- a voyage that began and ended in Europe. The first leg of the voyage carried a cargo that often included iron, cloth, brandy, firearms, and gunpowder. Upon landing on Africa's "slave coast," the cargo was exchanged for Africans. Fully loaded with its human cargo, the ship set sail for the Americas, where the slaves were exchanged for sugar, tobacco, or some other product. The final leg brought the ship back to Europe. The African slave boarding the ship had no idea what lay ahead. Africans who had made the Middle Passage to the plantations of the New World did not return to their homeland to tell what happened to those people who suddenly disappeared. Sometimes the captured Africans were told by the white men on the ships that they were to work in the fields. But this was difficult to believe, since, from the African experience, tending crops took so little time and didn't require many hands. So what were they to believe? More than a few thought that the Europeans were cannibals. Olaudah Equiano, an African captured as a boy who later wrote an autobiography, recalled
