Answer:

:

It caused mass African migration, African populations to grow, African empires to topple, and racism against slaves to emerge.

Explanation:

The Columbian Exchange caused many things including new crops and raw resources to spread to Europe. This also caused them to find new fertile and sunny lands near the equator since most of the land in Europe sucked since Europe was pretty far north of the equator.

Because of this, the Europeans uses Native Americans mostly in Latin America to work their plantations in order to get rich due to the newer concept of capitalism. However, to diseases from Europeans to Natives since Europeans lived in cramped areas with dirty animals, the Native American slave population began dying off.

The Europeans then turned to Africa to buy slaves due to their large slave export industry especially in kingdoms like Mali. So then a large amount of slaves were bought from these African kingdoms. However, so many were bought that the kingdoms were beginning to run out of slaves or were beginning to question the morality of this mass deportation.

So then the European merchants mainly consisting of the Portuguese began to sell a lot of guns and materials to small tribes so that they could catch a few slaves. Then the gun wielding Africans easily defeated and enslaved many other villages without guns. They also toppled large kingdoms- especially the Swahili coastal states. So many Africans were forced into slavery and sold to the Europeans. Then they were forced to migrate to the Americas where they worked in plantations for the rest of their lives.

This looks like the population will decline, right? Wrong. Although slave export was extremely high, what was higher was the birth rate and life expectancy of an African due to new American crops introduced by the Colombian exchange that were part of the exchange for slaves. Because of this, the African population jumped by the millions, but without a centralized government and only tribes.

Now moving onto the Americas. Having a dark skin color was easier to identify as a slave since all Africans had really dark skin and most were slaves. Because of this, the concept of skin color and slavery began to merge into the concept of racism. This was supported by the theory of social Darwinism, where the most "fit" socially will naturally dominate the more primitive.

Answer:

Economically, the population decrease brought by the Columbian Exchange indirectly caused a drastic labor shortage throughout the Americas, which eventually contributed to the establishment of African slavery on a vast scale in the Americas.

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

Mali is founded by Sundiata in 1235, after the decline and the collapse of Ghana. West Africa remained under Mali control for centuries. Then the Songhai rose to power.

Songhai is founded by Sunni Ali and defeated the Malis, but later got conquered by Moroccans who had guns against the African bows.

Muhammad Askia is the one who made Songhai a state rather than just a tribal kingdom.

Both empires took advantage and prospered through the gold-salt trade.

What was the political impact of the Nullification Crisis?
vovikov84 [41]

A. The Nullification Crisis led to the promotion of federal power over states' rights.


It was actually outlined in the constitution that states could nullify laws, etc., they deemed that were wrong. However, when South Carolina decided to nullify a law, Andrew Jackson put a stop to it, causing the crisis and almost starting the war then and there. When, prior to the event, states still had a substantial amount of power, President Jackson's response caused states' rights to diminish under the authority of the federal government.
