They had to endure criticism and hatred for being monotheistic during a time of paganism. it was seen as mutiny to the Roman Republic which had to keep its constituents "in line"
The Italian Renaissance was a time of cultural differentiation;
With various types of cultures - which had distinct religions - changing the life of those who were Italian, the Italian race or you could say, power prevailed greatly. With more cultures colliding towards one another during the Italian Renaissance, there was, of course, a lot of wars or hostile behaviour against one another.
In the future, this lead to many successes during the Italian Renaissance such as technology levels rising and the race of all Italians began to expand worldwide.
Hope this helped! :)
- D) "It was the site of a failed slave rebellion in October of 1859."
The skepticism about the empire of Ghana and the accounts for it is nothing weird because the majority of what is written about it is from two people from the same place, that had totally different views and interpretations on the things, and came from different culture.
Very often in the historical text, the people that wrote something have been very subjective, not objective. Thus the writings of these two Arab geographers can be very misleading, as they described what they saw with their own eyes, but also with using their own perception. That has proven numerous times to give very inaccurate depictions of a society and culture, like the depictions of the Romans for the Celts, or of the Greeks for the Scythian female warriors that they named Amazons.
There's only one point of view unfortunately, and it is always much more reliable when multiple writings are available from people from multiple different backgrounds, or the best scenario if it is writings from the people in question.
