On a map of "Big island" of Hawaii , trace the route taken by placing each number
Irina-Kira [14]

are where you live, however there are a few things you need to be aware of to make your Big Island vacation safer and more enjoyable.




•The maximum speed limit is 55 mph. (You’re supposed to be on vacation. What’s the hurry?) If the scenery has you dawdling along at a slower speed, pull over to let those behind you pass. The people zipping past you are either locals who are late for work or vacationers who are about to miss their flight.




•There are no marked police cars on the island; police officers drive personal vehicles. And instead of red lights, they use blue lights to get your attention. If you see a car or SUV behind you with a blue light on its roof remember the first driving tip.




•Unless otherwise marked, it is OK to turn right after stopping at a red light. Also, unless it is an emergency, avoid using your car’s horn. Aloha spirit is alive on the island and drivers are usually courteous towards each other.




•Gasoline prices are somewhere between “Ouch” and “Oh, My God!” Locals fill up at the Costco near the airport in Kailua Kona. If you are a Costco member, remember this tip when you are returning your rental car at the end of your vacation.




•Rental contracts may restrict the use of your rental vehicle. Read your contract before driving on the Saddle Road (Route 200) or the road to South Point.




•The weather on the Saddle Road is unpredictable, with rain, snow (yes, it does snow in Hawaii), sleet, and fog likely as you leave or approach Hilo. If you decide to drive that route: be sure you have at least a half tank of gas (there are no service stations along the route), “go” before you go (the only bathroom on the route is at the Mauna Kea State Recreation Area and it may be closed for repairs), don’t carry pork in your car and be sure to stop and pick up any old hags or beautiful women dressed in white who are hitchhiking. Read our History and Culture page for an explanation.




•Because of road construction, the traffic between the Kona airport and Captain Cook may be moving slowly (sometimes glacially). Budget a little more time to complete the drive, and please drive carefully while the infrastructure catches up with the population.




•When you ask for directions you may hear “Go” as in, “Go Hilo” (in the direction of Hilo) or, “Go Kona” (in the direction of Kona or perhaps even the west side of the island). You may also hear the words mauka (MAOW-ka) and makai (mah-KAI) . Since this is an island with gigantic mountains in the center, locals may tell you that what you are looking for is on the mauka (towards the mountain) or makai (towards the sea) side of a road.




•It takes nearly 6 hours of non-stop driving to completely circle the Big Island. Your passengers will like the trip better if you circle the island in a clockwise direction. Often there are steep cliffs on the ocean (makai) side of the road. Circling the island in a clockwise direction will place you on the mountain (mauka) side of the road.





Free maps of the island can be found in tourist booklets (click here to view a sample) at the airport and shopping centers. Click here to download a printable map from the Big Island Visitor’s Bureau. Map books that detail all the roads on either the east or west side of the island are available for purchase in most gift shops and grocery stores.



•Your car rental company may provide emergency road service as part of your contract. Inquire when renting a vehicle. Although the only AAA office in Hawaii is on the island of Oahu, AAA emergency roadside service for members is available islandwide. Contact your AAA office for more information. The phone number for AAA emergency road service is 1-800-AAA-help.

Describe the atlantic slave trade. what were some political and social effects of the slave trade?
Nina [5.8K]

The Transatlantic slave trade radically impaired Africa's potential to develop economically and maintain its social and political stability. The arrival of Europeans on the West African Coast and their establishment of slave ports in various parts of the continent triggered a continuous process of exploitation of Africa's human resources, labor, and commodities. This exploitative commerce influenced the African political and religious aristocracies, the warrior classes and the biracial elite, who made small gains from the slave trade, to participate in the oppression of their own people. The Europeans, on the other hand, greatly benefited from the Atlantic trade, since it allowed them to amass the raw materials that fed the Industrial Revolution to the detriment of African societies whose capacity to transform their modes of production into a viable entrepreneurial economy was severely halted.

8. Explain McClellan's plan and its failure.<br><br> Battle of Antietam
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

On the eve of Antietam, McClellan would tell Washington he faced a gigantic Rebel army “amounting to not less than 120,000 men,” outnumbering his own army “by at least twenty-five per cent.” So it was that George McClellan imagined three Rebel soldiers for every one he faced on the Antietam battlefield.
