Why celebrate ground hogs day

Social Studies
1 answer:
Elena-2011 [213]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

That may explain the origin of Groundhog Day in general, but it offers few clues on how groundhogs got involved. For that, we can thank 19th-century German immigrants and a creative city editor at the Punxsutawney Spirit newspaper.

Germans who settled in Pennsylvania in the 1800s brought many customs from home, including an old practice of predicting the end of winter based on bears' and badgers' hibernation habits. Some Germans may have switched to groundhogs when they arrived in America, but the new tradition didn't really take off until the late 1880s, when a group of local groundhog hunters caught the attention of Punxsutawney Spirit city editor Clymer H. Freas.

Freas reported on the men's groundhog hunts and barbecues, touting them as members of "the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club." He became so enthralled by local groundhog folklore that he went on to promote Punxsutawney as home to a weather-predicting groundhog, a story he then continued to repeat and embellish year after year. Other newspapers began reporting it, too, and Punxsutawney soon became ground zero for groundhog meteorology, as well as the hometown of world-renowned forecaster "Punxsutawney Phil."

Sladkaya [172]

The name of the event happened when Middle eastern muslins contacted the bantu villages for trade is called: arab slave trades.

Muslims made contact with the Bantu to negotiate slaves, at a time when many countries in Europe, and other countries including the Kingdom of Arabia, used slave labor. The African natives who were adherents of Islam could not be enslaved by the Muslims, as this would go against the principle that free Muslims could not be enslaved.

The colony of Pennsylvania was established by William Penn as a 'Holy Experiment'. It was given to him by the king in 1681, in payment of a debt he had to Penn's father. Amongst the other English colonies, Penn was the first leader of his colony that established peace with the natives. Then Penn made a peace treaty with the Leni lenape indians, and bought land from them. He hadn't needed to, but did anyways, and it was this act, as well as other kind acts towards the natives that formed peace between them. This also ensured a prosperous beginning for the new settlers of Pennsylvania, as the natives helped them with their crops, learning the way of the land and many such other useful things. Neither did they have wars that hurt the population
