Use the quote to answer the question: "The natives are only too happy to share…for a copper kettle and a few toys, as beads and hatchets, they will sell you a whole Country…" Which European power was able to purchase a valuable island with "a few toys"?
Answer:
The Dutch
Explanation:
The transaction was made between Peter Minuit who represented the Dutch West India Company, and a leader of the Lenape Native Indians. The Dutch paid just 60 guilders which is not a very reasonable amount of money to purchase the 22,000 acres of land from the Native Indians.
The Dutch acquired the land with little ease and without breaking a sweat. That is why it could be said of the Native Indians that they could sell you a whole country for just a few toys.

Can someone explain men's fashion in the 1810's in a brief summary?
Answer:
Both breeches and pantaloons were worn during the 1810s. Breeches extended to the knee where they were fastened with buttons and a buckle or tie (Fig. 1); pantaloons, which had originated in the 1790s, were very tightly-fitted and longer, extending to the calf or ankle where they fastened with ties or buttons (Fig. 4)(Byrde 93; Johnston 14). Either could be worn during the day, but breeches were the proper evening attire with white stockings and evening pumps (Fig. 5). For daywear, both were frequently worn with tall boots, a favorite fashion of early nineteenth century menswear (le Bourhis 112). It was particularly in vogue to wear pantaloons tucked into “hessian” boots, defined by heart-shaped tops and tassels (Laver 160). Named for the Hessian mercenary soldiers from Germany, these boots and clinging pantaloons, which displayed a man’s leg muscles to great effect, lent a martial glamour to civilian dress (Ashelford 186; Johnston 14). The man in figure 1 of the Womenswear section sports pantaloons and hessians.

As a result of being conquered by Egypt, Nubia ...
a
refused to accept any Egyptian beliefs and customs.
b
Accepted many Egyptian beliefs and customs.
c
stopped worshipping their own deities.
d
gave up their previous way of living.
Answer:
B)
Explanation:
As a result of being conquered by Egypt, Nubia accepted many Egyptian beliefs and customs.
Nubia accepted many Egyptian beliefs and customs, as a result of being conquered by Egypt. Thus, option (b) is correct.
The area known as Nubia is located along the Nile River between the first cataract of the Nile and the junction of the Blue and White Niles. It was the center of one of the earliest African civilizations, which flourished from about 2500 BC until the New Kingdom of Egypt's conquest by Pharaoh Thutmose I approximately 1500 BC, whose heirs controlled the majority of Nubia for the following 400 years.
Egypt took control of all of Nubia around 1500 BC, establishing a vast empire that extended from the Euphrates in Syria to the fifth cataract of the Nile. Egypt's wealth supported the New Kingdom pharaohs for more than 500 years.
Hence, option b is the appropriate answer.

What is cultural diffusion?Cultural diffusion is the spreading and blending of elements from various cultures. These various cultures all have many different types of food, clothing, and even languages that people love and enjoy on a daily basis.
Cultural diffusion is important because it is the process by which human behaviors spread, allowing the species to survive. This explains how humans can carry out all of their activities, from acquiring food and building shelter to creating their best art.
Islamic architectural styles spread through expansion and relocation, resulting in mosque architecture that shares some design elements and incorporates elements of local culture.
This means they built them as a result of their culture blending with Islamic traditions. And, as stated in the response, Arab traders introduced new religious practices to West Africans.

Which of the following was NOT an impact of the Great Famine?
A. pushed westward settlement in the United States
B. spurred Irish emigration to the United States
C. increased death and starvation in Ireland
D. contributed to Anglo-Irish tensions
E. led to a female Irish work force for US textile mills
Answer:
I believe it may be A
Explanation:
For this, I can tell you that the answers are NOT B, C, or E.
It is not B, because when the potato famine hit, that was one of the places that the Irish ran to. The US, Canada, and Great Britain.
It is not C, because for the small Irish farmers, their main food crop was potatoes. Without their main source of food, people starved. Starvation leads to death. About 750,000 died and about 2 million emigrated.
And, it is not E because that was one of the jobs the Irish females took over once they came to America. Matter of fact, this was one of the few jobs that women could take along with being servants and taking in laundry.
With the Irish coming to America, there would be tensions between the Americans and Irish. To some, the Irish were seen as taking over jobs from free blacks or from the poor. Also, the Irish weren't really let in for normal jobs because people would put up NINA signs (No Irish Need Apply). So this is why I would think it is not D.
The main expansion happened during 1848 and 1849 when the California Gold Rush came around. The Famine happened in 1845. The first ww expansion started in 1803 and the Oregon settlement was around the early 1830s and 1840s.
