Answer:

Find the explanation below.

Explanation:

1. The primary source which is a telegram from Senator Joseph McCarthy to President Henry S. Truman was meant to raise suspicions of personnel's within the United States government whom he referred to as Communists. This happened at a time when the citizens of the United States were apprehensive about communists because of possible links to the Soviet Union.

2. The author intended that the President take his claims seriously by fishing out the names of those within the State Department whom he claimed were communists, prosecuting them, and possibly relieve them of their services.

3. The Senator was trying to be controversial. He wanted to gain cheap political points and also curry favor with the people so that he can be seen as a Senator that worked hard to prevent threats to the American nation. Then, he would be re-elected by the people in his second term.

4. This telegram helps us to see how certain political leaders can promote policies for their selfish interests and not necessarily for the people. It also shows how tense the relationship between the United States and the Soviet Union was after World War II.

How did Mansa Musa work to spread Islam in west Africa
lubasha [3.4K]
Islam entered West Africa, becoming an integral part of the culture, through relatively subtle means, over a period from 690 to 1493. Conquest did not play a major role in the spread of the religion into the region. Islamic culture moved southward from Egypt into the Mediterranean coast. From there, the religion incubated among the Arabs and their Berber subjects until Ghana, Mali and Songhai, the Great Kingdoms of West Africa, provided the social stability for its continued influx. Islam penetrated into West Africa primarily through trade, conversion of elites and syncretism.

Nostrana [21]

Answer:

An empresario [em.pɾe.ˈsaɾ.jo] was a person who had been granted the right to settle on land in exchange for recruiting and taking responsibility for settling the eastern areas of Coahuila y Tejas in the early nineteenth century

Explanation:

Since empresarios attracted immigrants mostly from the Southern United States, they encouraged the spread of slavery into Texas. Although Mexico banned slavery in 1829, the settlers in Texas revolted in 1835 and continued to develop the economy, dominated by slavery, in the eastern part of the territory
