Why did captain canot like slavery

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Theodore Canot (1804-1860) had a combined French and Italian origin and was a traveller, adventurer and slave trader. His memoirs are a vivid, accurate and valuable testimony about all issues which concerned slave trade.

Thedore was already in a boat with 19, and with 22, in 1826 he joined the slave ship Aerostatica at Havana. This is how he "plunged accidentaly", using his own words, into slave trade, and he ended up being one the most famous and successful slave traders of all times.

He is described as a smart, ambitious, an unscrupulous person,  with "no religion, many vices, and few weaknesses". The beliefs of Canot regarding slavery have to be valued as part of the intellectual history of racism, as his very profitable businesses pertained to the era in which slavery and race were interconnected. In fact, at those times, the belief about the racial inferiority of the slaves was the main force behing the constantly growing trade flows and not the need for labor. Africans were considered sub-humans, and such ideas legitimized the practice. Captain Canot shared these tendencies and exploted the business accordingly.

How was US economic policy toward japan and China similar during the 19th century?

Answers

Answer:

They worked to open both countries to foreign trade.

Explanation:

During the nineteenth century, the United States, China and Japan underwent a series of transformations. Perhaps the most important of these transformations has been the opening of these countries to foreign trade. At that time, the US was beginning to prepare its influence on trade relations with other cultures.

At the same time, Western countries forced Japan to open trade. Japan implemented a modernization (Meiji Restoration), seeing China as an antiquated civilization, unable to defend itself against Western forces partly due to the Opium Wars and the Anglo-French Expeditions from 1840 to 1860.

After the Opium War, China realized that other cultures had customs - such as diplomacy - different from their own, as well as material capabilities larger than theirs, with steam ships and well developed firearms. This period is known to the Chinese as the "Century of Humiliation," when the European countries and Japan greatly influenced the policy of the Chinese Empire and took advantage of the Uneven Agreements.  After decades of internal turmoil in 1949, the Chinese Communist Party took control of Mainland China and thus changed China's foreign policy to combat US imperialism. This approach was abandoned in the 1960s and 1970s, after the ideological separation of the Soviet Union, the other communist power, and the rapprochement with the United States. With the government of Deng Xiao Ping and the process of economic opening, the country became more dependent on capitalist economies and thus stopped making stronger opposition to countries for ideological reasons.

Is it true that there a little man on the moon ? is it true

Answers

-- There has never been a complete survey of the moon's surface. Even if
there had been one, it's very difficult to prove that something doesn't exist.

But when you put all of the following items together, you can be pretty sure
that there is NO man on the moon, big or little:

-- The 12 Apollo astronauts who walked and drove around on the moon never saw
any man, any sign of a man, any sign of construction or changes in the surface that
could have been done by a man, or any sign of any other living thing.

-- There is no air, no water, and no plant life on the moon, so there's nothing for
a little man to eat and stay alive. 

-- Without an atmosphere on the moon, the radiation from the sun is intense.
It would kill any unprotected living material.

-- Without an atmosphere on the moon, the temperature on the lighted side
is very high, and the temperature on the dark side is very low.  Every point
on the moon is lighted for two weeks and then dark for two weeks, and the
temperature swings in any one place would kill any unprotected living material.


NO..its scientifically proven that no man is there on the moon...beacuase its impossible for any living creatureto survive on space without oxygen or a space costume....well...its not wrong ..no need to feel bad...you can still believe it as a kiddie fairytale!:)

What mendel called factors are now called?

Answers

Mendel found that there are alternative forms of factors, now they are called genes. 
♥Hope this helps!♥

Final answer:

Gregor Mendel's 'factors' are now referred to as 'genes'. They are the basic units of heredity.

Explanation:

The 'factors' that Gregor Mendel referred to in his genetic experiments are now known as genes. Mendel, often recognized as the father of genetics, conducted extensive studies with pea plants during the 19th century. Through his studies, Mendel discovered these 'factors' - hereditary units that passed traits from parents to offspring. Today, we refer to these units as genes, and they serve as the basic physical and functional units of heredity.
