Prompt
Use the passage below to answer parts A, B, and C of the question that follows.

"My thesis is that the religion of Africa disappeared from the consciousness of the American slave; that the slave himself, by contact with a new environment, became a decidedly different person, having a new religion, a primitive Christianity, with the central emphasis, not upon this world, but upon heaven.

My task is to show that the religion of the Negro slave between 1619 and the Civil War did not originate in Africa, but was something totally different . . . and that this distinctive element in the religion of the slave grew out of his contact with Christianity in America. In taking this position I have tried to give due weight to those considerations which tend to support a contrary position, such as the inertia of African habits and traditions in the life of the American slave, and the hostile tendency of his social surroundings to religious development. On the other hand, I have considered the disintegrating effects of the American slave system upon black groups that originated in Africa, together with the American slave's new social contacts, which produced in him the religious attitude found, and out of which arose the early slave-preacher and church.”

G. R. Wilson, "The Religion of the Negro Slave: His Attitude toward Life and Death,” The Journal of Negro History, 1923

a) Identify ONE specific example of the relationship between the transatlantic slave trade and cultural exchange in the New World that would tend to support Wilson’s argument.

b) Identify ONE specific example of the effect of the plantation economy on enslaved people’s culture in the Americas that would tend to support Wilson’s argument.

c) Identify ONE specific example of how religious syncretism emerged as a consequence of exposure to new religious values and cultures that would NOT tend to support Wilson’s thesis.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a. Wilson's argument could be supported by the fact that many slaves grew out of their original environment and culture, being indoctrinated and created within European culture and their religious concepts, this being the only culture that these slaves actually had access to. This was how the exchange of slaves through the transatlantic trade in pits stimulated the adoption of Christianity among Africans, since this was the only reality they knew or could live with.

b. Slave labor generated an admirable economy for European colonies and, consequently, for European crowns, as labor costs were nil. This stimulated the sense of dominance among Europeans over slaves and the dominance would only be complete with the suppression of African religion and culture and the adoption of European culture and religion.

c. One example suffers from the effect of religious syncretism that does not support the thesis whether Wilson is the existence, to this day, of the African religion, such as candoblém, for example, in American countries, where slavery was strong. While Wilson claims that syncretism suppressed African religion, the existence of that religion proves the opposite.

What was the civic issue during the seven year war and what effort did they put to solve that issue?

Answers

The Seven Years’ War (1756-1763) was a global conflict that spanned five continents, though it was known in America as the “French and Indian War.” After years of skirmishes between England and France in North America, England officially declared war on France in 1756, setting off what Winston Churchill later called “the first world war.” While the French, British, and Spanish battled over colonies in the New World, Frederick the Great of Prussia faced off against Austria, France, Russia and Sweden. The Seven Year’s War ended with two treaties. The Treaty of Hubertusburg granted Silesia to Prussia and enhanced Frederick the Great’s Power. The Treaty of Paris between France, Spain and Great Britain drew colonial lines largely in favor of the British, an outcome that would later influence the French to intervene in the war for American Independence.

Help me in this is for tonight
This is the article
PRESIDENT CLINTON: My fellow Americans, today our armed forces joined our NATO allies in airstrikes against Serbian forces responsible for the brutality in Kosovo. We have acted with resolve for several reasons.
We act to protect thousands of innocent people in Kosovo from a mounting military offensive.
We act to prevent a wider war, to defuse a powder keg at the heart of Europe, that has exploded twice before in this century with catastrophic results.
We act to stand united with our allies for peace. By acting now, we are upholding our values, protecting our interests, and advancing the cause of peace.
Tonight I want to speak with you about the tragedy in Kosovo and why it matters to America that we work with our allies to end it.
First, let me explain what it is that we are responding to. Kosovo is a province of Serbia, in the middle of south eastern Europe and about 160 miles east of Italy. That's less than the distance between Washington and New York, and only about 70 miles north of Greece.
Its people are mostly ethnic Albanian and mostly Muslim.
In 1989 Serbia's leader Slobodan Milosevic, the same leader who started the wars in Bosnia and Croatia, and moved against Slovenia in the last decade, stripped Kosovo of the constitutional autonomy it's people enjoyed, thus denying them their right to speak their language, run their schools, shape their daily lives. For years, Kosovar's struggled peacefully to get their rights back. When President Milosevic sent his troops and police to crush them, the struggle grew violent.
Last fall, our diplomacy, backed by the threat of force from our NATO alliance, stopped the fighting for awhile, and rescued tens of thousands of people from freezing and starvation in the hills where they had fled to save their lives. And last month, with our allies and Russia, we proposed a peace agreement to end the fighting for good. The Kosovar leaders signed that agreement last week.
Even though it does not give them all they want, even though their people were still being savaged, they saw that a just peace is better than a long and unwinable war.
The Serbian leaders, on the other hand, refused even to discuss key elements of the peace agreement. As the Kosovars were saying yes to peace, Serbia stationed 40,000 troops in and around Kosovo in preparation for a major offensive and in clear violation of the commitments they had made.

Britain gave Florida to the United States.


The United States fell into major debt.


The United States gained international respect.

Answers

Answer:

The United States gained international respect

Explanation:

The given quote by Treasury Albert reflects a revised sense of American nationalism that was fading after the Declaration of Independence in the previous decade. America and Britain had a strained relationship since then and were continuously fighting for the dominance of the continent.

The war of 1812 impacted a great loss on the side of America including economic fallout, deaths, burning of Capitol and many other public buildings. However, America could resist the colonizers at Atlantic coast and eventually signing of a peace treaty.  

America was united for the first time against a foreign power as both the Republicans and Federalists joined to defend national interests gaining International respect.

what was the role of the catholic church during the renaissance

Answers

Answer:

The Ninety-five Theses led to the Reformation, a break with the Roman Catholic Church that previously claimed hegemony in Western Europe. Humanism and the Renaissance therefore played a direct role in sparking the Reformation, as well as in many other contemporaneous religious debates and conflicts.

During the middle ages, or renaissance, the church was a major part of everyday life. The church served to give people spiritual guidance and it served as their government as well. Now, in the 20th century, the church’s role has diminished(for most at least).

Read selections from the Declaration of Independence and the Articles of Confederation and briefly summarize them in your own words in the spaces that follow. This section is worth 5 points.


1. The Declaration of Independence:

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.—That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, —That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.1


Summary (2 points)

Answers

Answer:

Abstract:

A government that does not guarantee freedom, equality, happiness and respect for the rights of all citizens must be overthrown by the people, who must raise another government that guarantees all these elements given by God to men.

Explanation:

A summary should include the main ideas of the original text, but in a shorter and faster narrative, using a few words, but always highlighting the main theme of the original text.

Based on this, the summary above was made from the paragraph of the declaration of independence shown in the question above, where it reinforces the government's obligation to guarantee the security, freedom, equality and happiness of its people, and may be removed from power if that responsibility is neglected.

-Both empires sought to project power as a means of expanding their territories.
-Elites in the Songhay Empire had more political power than elites in the Mughal Empire.
-Mughal rulers were more focused on wealth extraction and less interested in territorial expansion than the Songhay rulers.

Answers

Answer:

B). Both empires sought to project power as a mean of expanding their territories.

Explanation:

The second statement regarding both the Mughal and Songhay Empires aptly compares them as it details how they both looked around for power as the source of inflating/expanding their empires. The first option is incorrect as the passage has no detail about the internal rebelllion while the third option is wrong as there is no description of the Songhay elites' superiority over Mughal in terms of political power. The last option is incorrect as the passage involves no details regarding the extraction of wealth as means to expand the empire. Thus, option B is the correct answer.

Answer: It’s B

Explanation: Most empires wanted to expand their territory and it was seen as powerful. The larger the empire, the more power you had. You were able to rule so many people, so you must be powerful right? Not exactly. But that’s what people thought.
