Galloway’s Plan of Union was suggested in 1774, by Joseph Galloway, a Pennsylvanian delegate whose idea was to unit Great Britain with its North American colonies.
It means that America would have a separate colonial parliament and act together with the British parliament. His objective was to create a unified government for the colonies, but while keeping the British Empire united. The plan would be realized by choosing a President-General, a representative appointed by the British. The King would have final authority but with a possibility of veto each other's laws.
His plan was rejected in the First Continental Congress in Pennsylvania.
South Africa is known for its diversity of cultures, languages and religious beliefs, which is why it is known as the rainbow nation. Eleven languages are recognized as official by the Constitution of South Africa. Two of the eleven languages are of European origin: Afrikaans, a language that comes directly from Dutch and is spoken by the majority of the white and mestizo population, and English. Although English plays an important role in public and commercial life, it is, however, the fifth language by native speakers. South Africa is an ethnically diverse country. 79.5% of the South African population is black, which is divided into different ethnic groups that speak different Bantu languages, nine of which are official. It also has the largest communities of inhabitants of European and Indian origin, as well as multiracial communities on the continent.
West Africa is one of the first regions of the planet where the native cultivation of certain plants began, so the beginning of Neolithic cultures in the region is around 5000 BC. C. (almost two millennia after the estimated date for the Nile Valley). Nok culture is one of the main prehistoric cultures of West Africa. What happened later during the protohistoric period in West Africa would have a decisive influence on the demographic, historical and cultural configuration of sub-Saharan Africa, since the Bantu expansion that occurred in most of Africa originated from the historical developments of Africa Western. During the European Middle Ages in West Africa there were several centralized states and empires, some of which maintained active commercial relations especially with the Muslim world. Among the most notable states of this period in West Africa are the Empire of Ghana (s. VIII-XI), the Empire of Mali (s. XIII-XVII), the Jolof Empire (s. XIV-XVI) and the Songhay Empire (s. XIV-XVI).
