Answer:
African elites engaged their armies in warfare with neighboring peoples. While this kind of thing happened in other parts of the world, the European demand for slave labor significantly increased warfare within Africa. For example, when the Oyo Empire of West Africa defeated their rivals in southern Yoruba states, they profited from the spoils of that victory by selling their captives into slavery. The political victory became a rewarding economic one as well, a kind of bonus thanks to the slave trade. The Oyo would not have considered this selling their "own" into perpetual (unending) torture and enslavement, for the Yoruba had been their enemy. In return for supplying slaves, African elites were paid with a variety of manufactured products including guns, cotton textiles, glass, and food products made from the very sugar grown by slaves in the Americas. This had a drastic economic and political impact in Africa, which drove so many to participate in the trade. From the European point of view, slave labor was crucial for economic production and increasing wealth. The expansion of plantation agriculture from Brazil into the Caribbean drove the expansion of the slave trade. By the end of the trade in the nineteenth century, more than eight out of every ten Africans taken in bondage to the Americas had disembarked (arrived) in either Brazil or the islands of the Caribbean. Sugar—so labor intensive and difficult to produce—ruled these regions. African laborers toiled from sunup to sunset under grueling conditions. So harsh was this labor that the average life expectancy for a slave in Brazil was only twenty-three years. The high mortality rate only led to even greater demand for enslaved people in Brazil.

2. Explain TWO specific examples of how the development of cities and the construction of
monuments resulted in the rise of mathematics, science and art.
The development of cities required the construction of walls that would protect them from the dangerous invasions that could occur and that put the population in danger, as well as the commerce and wealth of the city. The construction of these walls was very influential in the emergence and development of mathematics, because the construction required a knowledge of counting materials, measurements and even a certain study on the geometric shapes of the materials used. This also influenced the knowledge of some scientific concepts, which despite being archaic and poorly developed, had a great importance in the construction of the walls.
The development of cities was also influenced by the activity of artisans, who were the artists of the time and who were responsible for creating numerous objects important for social advancement, in addition to creating conventional arts such as paintings, music and poetry, which had a character more religious.

The small states of Phoenicia and Israel developed due to the decline of the______
and the________
Answer:
The small states of Phenicia and Israel developed due to the decline of the Persian Empire and the Turkish-Ottoman Empire.
Explanation:
Phenicia was a group of city-states located in what is now Lebanon. They had commercial relations with many peoples, mainly the Hebrews and the Persians. However, even in the face of trade relations, the Persian empire oppressed the realization of the state of Phenicia with the violent Persian expansion, and Phenicia could only stabilize with the fall of the Persian Empire.
The state of Israel, on the other hand, took years to be declared and this was only possible after the fall of the Turkish-Ottoman empire, after the Second World War. Britain has seized the lands of the Turkish-Ottoman empire by handing them over to Israel through political agreements.

The excerpt shows which of the causes of Bacon’s Rebellion? A) favoritism and corruption among colonial elites B) dissatisfaction with royal rule in the colonies C) colonial rivalries between Virginia and New England D) the persecution of Native Americans by British troops
Answer:
Bacon's Rebellion was caused by:
A) favoritism and corruption among colonial elites
Explanation:
According to history, "Governor William Berkeley used new trade rules to increase his wealthy friends’ fortunes" while refusing to officially back the usurpation of the land of the friendly natives on the borders of Virginia. These moves angered "Nathaniel Bacon, who had recently arrived in Virginia and was Berkeley’s cousin by marriage." He termed the situation as "the governor’s disloyalty and unfairness."
Then, in 1676, Nathaniel Bacon led Virginia settlers to challenge the authority of Governor William Berkeley as he continued to protect the interests of the native Americans in the western frontier. The Virginia settlers had believed that the western frontier belonged to them and not to the original native Americans whom they regarded as "barbarous heathen." But, Governor William did not want to legitimize their demand with political authority. His stand further infuriated Nathaniel Bacon, who decided to lead an armed rebellion to sack the natives from their land and later against the Governor, following his proscription of the rebellious group.

What is double jeopardy?
Answer: C
Explanation:
the putting of a person on trial for an offense for which he or she has previously been put on trial under a valid charge : two adjudications for one offense
Answer:
Double Jeopardy is where you're tried twice for the same crime.
Explanation:
The other person that answered had some advanced wording and might be hard to read. Search up 5th amendement (or 6th amendment) and it'll give more info on it. " 5th amendment double jeopardy ".
Double jeopardy is when you are tried twice for the same crime, you cannot go to two trials of the same crime you committed. Here's an example:
John was framed, he had to go to trial. He was found not guilty. But then the other side decided to appeal the case and John was going again and was found guilty. This is not fair to John. This is why its against the law to be tried twice for the same crime.

In what ways did Chute-pa-lu laws differ from white laws? Did the two groups share some beliefs about laws? What was the significance of spirit law," and how did it differ from other laws, if at all?
Answer: The answer is given below
Explanation:
The chute-pa-lu laws was different from the white laws because they believed that land belonged to everyone, taking another man's land wasn't encouraged and that all men should be treated equally and fairly and that lying is disgraceful. The Chute-pa-lu Laws was typically more peaceful than the white laws.

The significance of spirit laws was simply to bring together the people from both groups, and it should be noted that it wasn't really different really at all from the laws of the white men except that they didn’t really speak about everything that they had already planned for the people of Chute-pa-lu.
