On Friday night, the annual Ely TIgers vs. DIllard Panthers football game was played. On the last play of the 4th quarter, Donnell Wilson made a touchdown pass that won the game. Although some say that the catch was not that great, I think it was due to the fact that he passed his defensive back, leaped to make the catch,and scored the winning touchdown. Part of what made this a great catch was Donnell leaping into the air to catch it. “Wilson made a leaping catch and landed safely in the end-zone capping an improbable come from behind win for the Tigers.”
Well definitely not for religious purposes. Mansa Musa took the difficult journey here strictly to trade lots of gold for salt and set up a trading bond for future trading. If the city Taghaza had so much salt and Mansa Musa had more gold than he knew what to do with and not a lot of salt, it was the perfect trade bond for Mansa Musa. This was the perfect trade bond since salt was worth its weight in gold and used for many things, and Mansa Musa had tons of
Similarly, the Adams administration also dealt with many foreign affairs, although these more often than not had a unifying effect in America. Similar to the Spanish reaction of Jay’s Treaty, the French were very skeptical of the unexpected agreement between the Americans and Great Britain, causing the French to take action. Seeing the treaty as a violation of the Franco-American Treaty, the French began impressing many American merchant ships just like the British had. Adams, infuriated by the actions of a supposed ally, sent representatives to fix the relations between these two nations, a meeting commonly known as the XYZ Affair. During this meeting, the Frenchmen dubbed “X”, “Y”, and “Z” demanded a huge bribe to allow the Americans to
There are 5 pillars of Islam, one being a Hajj to Mecca, that Muslims take part in to prove that they are good Muslims. Mansa Musa went on a Hajj for his religion, but he had other intentions for participating in this journey. Mansa Musa was a very wealthy leader of Mali who decided to go on this pilgrimage to Mecca to complete one of the 5 pillars of Islam, and he gave some of his gold to people who lived in the cities along the way where salt was abundant and gold was very valuable. Mansa Musa went to Mecca for his religion, but had other motivating factors. Mansa Musa could have gone through Timbuktu, but instead he decided to go the longer route, through Taghaza and Walata.
The people of Mesoamerican had many talents that for that time were very advanced. They used many tools to live but there most valuable tool was there brain. The people knew exactly how to survive due to trying to survive. In document 1,5, and 7 they showed us how they farmed, planted, got water to wear they need to get to.

Not only did Mansa Musa give others an interesting life, he lead an quite intriguing one of his own. Musa was the fourteenth century emperor of the Mali Empire. The name Mansa, meaning King of Kings, was given to Musa when he became emperor and ascended the throne in 1312. He was born in c.1280 and died of natural causes in c. 1337.
Burns, Sydney BPQ #2- I see areas of the world, such as Bantu Africa and North America, that didn't generate "civilizations" as different, but certainly not as "backward." Many would consider the Roman Empire an example of an amazing civilization, and although it did have many achievements, Roman society had many undesirable aspects, such as its large scale slavery that "had some 2 to 3 million slaves" (page 231). Bantu Africa did not have slavery, and even "developed gender systems that were markedly less patriarchal than those of established urban-based civilization" (pg 284). Bantu Africa and other similar societies did not lack religion, art, and many other important aspects of culture.
The money’s symbolic meaning of power upholds the ability to demonstrate the free will and be honored by peers. El Saadawi's character Firdaus belongs to a poor family, which does not allow her to be respected. Never being born with the privilege of money, Firdaus would not know the power of money until she makes her own. The people around her had money and had power over Firdaus. Her father, uncle, husband, and Sharifa all had money choose not shared with Firdaus.
David Walker acknowledged that slavery had long been practiced in Africa, but he charged white Christian slaveholders with greater crimes against humanity and greater hypocrisy in justifying those crimes than any prior slave system had been guilty of. Twentieth century scholarship has lent much support to the contentions of Walker’s and others in the African American antislavery vanguard that slavery as perpetrated by the European colonizers of Africa and the Americas brought man’s inhumanity to man to a level of technological efficiency unimagined by previous generations. When Portuguese mariners began trading gold, ivory, and spices with the chieftains of the coast of West Africa in the mid-fifteenth century, they discovered that African prisoners of war and their children could be readily supplied for sale as slaves.
The attitudes of Christianity and Islam towards merchants and trade are different from one another in the beginning stages, but as time progress each moderate their earlier views. In the beginning Christians found it unfit to be a rich merchant, while Islam’s judgment on trade was acceptable as long as they were honest and the trading was just. As time went by over a couple hundred years, the followers if each belief changed their views on trade, though it was acceptable, merchants were expected to trade geniuses. In the beginning Christians found it unfit to be a rich merchant, while Islam’s judgment on trade was acceptable as long as they were honest and the trading was just.
Can you imagine getting taken away from your family at age 7? Well it was normal for yong boys in Sparta. They had to go and be apart of their army. They are taught from the moment they are taken away that the only way to survive is to kill and fight. School also did not matter, it was all based off of if you can take care of the grovernment and protect it.
Colonialism, it’s how population spread across the world and how we’re here today. Most people think that the Europeans colonizing across the world had a positive effect; however, there are some people that the Europeans colonizing across the world had a negative effect. Colonialism had both a positive and negative affect on Kenyan people. During the time, the British imposed a harder religion that they had brought along, how people were being treated, and agricultural services. European colonialism had a negative effect on the Kenyan people through imposing a harder religion that they had brought along.
Red: Topic Blue: External Info Black: Body Text Thesis Statement: The spread of Islam & Islamic political rule from “the Atlantic to the borders of China” from 622-1453 C.E. was ultimately achieved through both conquest on the part of the Islamic Empire and peaceful conversion to Islam. This was due to the drive of the Muslim army provided by their faith, the incentives to convert specifically for non-Muslims under Islamic rule, and how Muslims practice both greater and lesser jihad, drawing people to the religion and enabling them to conquer forcibly. One motivator for Muslim soldiers that resulted in the building of the empire through conquest was the knowledge that dying for their cause was an honourable deed. As stated in Document 4,
One of the legends believes that the monk, Buddhanjnana, worshiped Vasudhara and she granted him his wish of hundreds of pearl necklaces every day. He then sold the necklaces and used his good fortune to help the monastery and fellow monks. He also bought many relics that were of significant importance, such as ritual objects and votive statues. As he continued to use his good fortunes for the well-being of others and not for personal gain, he continued to receive the gifts and fortunes of Vasudhara.
