Historian Mia Bay says that "part of where the idea of race comes from [is] in the tendency for people to see existing power rel

ationships as having some sort of natural quality to them." What does she mean? Why would people of European descent in the late 1600s begin to believe that people of African descent were naturally or biologically inferior to them? What role might economics have played in encouraging this belief? What role might have been played by the insecurity some felt about their social status?

Answer:

African descent

Explanation:

European descent in the late 1600s believed the Africans as inferior based on their race and colour. Europe saw them as fit to do manual work for Europeans. African descent was physically different from Europeans. Africans had a strong body structure which allowed them to work in fields for long hours.

The beginning of the plantation in America changed the structure of the trade and expansion. The Sugar plantation changed colonial societies as the economy based on slaves came into existence. Slavery increased overall elasticity in labour. It was also more productive and made labour a capital asset.

The insecurity some felt about their social status when slaves were put in the lowest class and were forced to work as labour. They were considered as the property of their masters.

Eduardwww [97]

The correct answer is A) Abolished slavery in the Confederacy.

The Emancipation Proclamation abolished slavery in the Confederacy. During the tough times of conflict and confrontation during the American Civil War, United States President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863. This was a very important moment in the history of the United States in that a US President proclaimed that all the slaves in the Confederate states were free.

The proclamation only was valid in the Confederated states that had seceded from the Union, and of course, it was not taken into consideration until many years after the war had ended.

Eva8 [605]

Answer:

Obstacles:

1.The sea, america would normally be hard to access for non-mexican immigrants due to the wide ocean blocking their way. They often take this dangerous journey across as they have no other choice.

Pull factors:

1.For most non-americans (like me), the country would probably be fantasized and thought to be a great modern country full of amazing opportunities. This may make them wish to immigrate to America.
