How did economic sanctions affect apartheid in Africa?

Delvig [45]

When the Afrikaner-backed National Party Came to power in South Africa in 1948, it implemented its campaign promises in the form of high apartheid. This contrasted with the segregationist policies of the pre-war government. While much of that legislation was designed to restructure the organization of economic opportunity in South Africa, apartheid legislation lacked the trademark of systematic exploitation of native Africans (Butler 19). The English speaking whites who had held power before the war were sidelined as the white constituency was consolidated under the National Party, a Afrikaner dominated political group. This allowed the National Party to enact such legislation as the Population Registration Act, which enforced classification into four racial categories: white, Co loured, Asiatic, or native. The next high apartheid landmark was the Group Areas Act of 1950. This act enforced the separate areas of residence by race across the country. It would be this act that eventually led to Promotion of Bantu Self-Government Act of 1959 that transferred Africans’ political rights to these quasi-states, which allowed the South African government to treat natives as foreigners and allow them no political representation in the South African government.

To what extent would you call the signers of the Declaration of Independence courageous? Why?

Norma-Jean [14]

Benjamin Franklin said it best: “We must, indeed, all hang together or, most assuredly, we shall all hang separately.”

The signers were indeed facing treason if the fledging US lost the war.

Congress ordered the Declaration to be delivered to a printer named John Dunlap after it was approved on July 4, 1776. The Dunlap Broadside, which had John Hancock's signature at the bottom, was produced in around 200 copies and circulated across the colonies. Today, 26 copies remain.

Only John Hancock and Charles Thomson, the president and secretary of the Continental Congress, were included on the copy of the Declaration that the signers delivered to King George III. Why? They didn't want the identities of all the treasonous individuals to be known to the British! Keep in mind these names. The copy that was sent to the King is here.

Declaration. (A1)

One signer endured brutal punishment and starvation until he changed his mind. The only signer of the Declaration of Independence to later retract his support for the revolution was Princeton, New Jersey, attorney Richard Stockton. The unfortunate delegate was taken prisoner by the British on November 30, 1776. Stockton renounced his signature on the Declaration of Independence and pledged allegiance to King George III after months of severe torture and few nourishment. In December 1777, having become a shattered man after regaining his release, he took a fresh pledge of allegiance to the state of New Jersey.

Therefore, each person who joined was exposed to personal and financial dangers. Today, it is quite simple to minimize the risks because we are aware of the outcomes. No, they didn't. They had a young nation that was ill-prepared to finance and wage war. They shown bravery by signing their names.

Thanks,
