Answer:
In 2006, I gave some lectures at Harvard during which I called for a month, a week -- a day even -- of collective mourning for the millions whose souls still cry for proper burial and mourning rites. These lectures have now been published under the title: Something Torn and New. I did not know then that others were thinking along the same lines. I am glad that this day is being commemorated at the United Nations, but it should be actively observed in the whole world, as slave trade and plantation slavery were of prime importance in the making of the modern world. But what was a gain for the world, especially in the West, was a loss for Africa. Here I am not simply talking about the loss of human lives, power, resources, the economic loss for Africa and gain for the world: Slave trade and slavery were a historical trauma whose consequences on the African psyche have never been properly explored.
It is well known that both a person who perpetrates trauma and one who experiences it can often shut the trauma in a psychic tomb, acting as if it never happened. The recipient does not mourn the loss and the perpetrator does not acknowledge the crime, for you cannot mourn a loss or acknowledge a crime you deny. This can occur at a community level, where horror committed to a group is kept in a collective psychic tomb, its reception and perpetration, passed on in silence, which of course means that there is no real closure and the wound festers inside to haunt the future.
The West has never properly acknowledged this crime against humanity, for to acknowledge is to accept responsibility for the crime and its consequences. One can, of course, see why the perpetrator of a crime may want to forget it: uneasy lies the crown on the heads of they who have committed crimes against humanity. But post-colonial Africa has also never properly mourned this trauma on its own continent as well as its diasporic communities in the Caribbean and America. In Africa and the world, slave trade and plantation slavery have never been accepted in body and mind for what they were: genocide, holocaust, displacement of unprecedented historical and geographic magnitude. It was Hitlerism long before Hitler, to borrow the phraseology from Aimé Césaire in his book, Discourse on Colonialism.
The economic consequences are obvious: the most developed countries in the West are largely those whose modernity is rooted in the Transatlantic slave trade and plantation slavery. The African body was a commodity; and manpower, a cheap resource. Note that this was continued in the colonial era where, once again, African human and natural resources were cheap for the colonialist European buyer who determined the price and worth of that which he was buying. Don't we see echoes of that today in the unequal trade practices where the West still determines the price and worth of what it gets from Africa while also determining the price and worth of what it sells to Africa?
It is not a strange coincidence that the victims of slave trade and slavery on the African continent and abroad are collectively the ones experiencing underdevelopment. For example, Haiti in the 18th century was the main economic mainstay of France, the coveted price by the major European powers of the time; today it is the most economically deprived in the Western world. Haiti's story is also that of Africa and the African people as a whole. The majority of the homeless in the world still come from communities that were the victims of the slave trade and the plantation.
But that is obvious. It's the moral consequences that deeply worry me -- the negative perception of Africa and Africans by others, and the negative self-conception of Africa and Africans by Africans. Those two conceptions have common ground in the devaluation of African lives. Massacres and genocide can happen in Africa, as in the case of Rwanda, with the world looking on. African governments can mow down their people and go to bed and sleep soundly as if nothing has happened; politicians who settle political disputes by inciting ethnic cleansing (and counter-ethnic cleansing) can go to sleep with consciences undisturbed by what they have brought about. Any life lost is, of course, horrifying, but we have seen how frantic the world and Africa become if a white European hostage is missing or meets death in Africa. It shows an indifference towards the descendants of slaves and deep concern for the descendants of slave owners.

In forming their new Articles of Confederation, how did the former colonies make certain that their
new government would be nothing like their former monarchy Give two examples
The Articles of Confederation was the first constitution for the United States, it was known for being very weak and giving little power to the national government. Most of the power was in the hands of the states and the people.
The government could not tax the states. Under the Articles of Confederation, the national government did not have the power to tax. In order to raise money, they had to outright as the states for money. This made it so they did not have enough money to create post offices, create a military, or pay off war debts, making the country weaker as a whole.
The government could not properly create or enforce laws. Because there was only one weak branch of government, they could not create laws properly. In order to pass a new law, 9 out of 13 of the states had to agree to it. This made it very hard to pass anything, along with the fact all of the states had to agree in order to amend the Articles of Confederation.
write a summary about the purposes of government in your own words,
Then in a paragraph write a summary of key points, details,ideas,or facts about the purposes of governments.
The purposes of a governmet are to keep the country or city stable. and a government is responsible for establishing Justice so everyone is free, insure domestic Tranquility, the government exists because the people consent to its establishment. The government was created by the people and exists to serve the people’s needs. provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty. m

The South's dependence on European goods
Explanation:
The factor that contributed most to the industrial advantages the North had over the South at the beginning of the Civil War was "The South's dependence on European goods"
This is evident in the fact that the North has the seaport and the European goods on which the south depended would have to pass through the seaport in the North, in which they put outrightly blocked. Thereby, the South was unable to import goods and weapons from the Europeans.

1. Why is Cortes' letter a primary source?
2. Is there any information in his letter that he did not actually observe? How do you reconcile this fact with the idea that this is a primary source? Can a document be partially primary and partially secondary? (i.e., written by someone who did not witness the events or experience the emotion?)
3. What can you infer about Cortes’ motives in writing about “the wonders of Tenochtitlan” and the Aztecs? Why did he choose to write about the topics he addressed in this letter? Who is is intended audience, and how might that have influenced the letter?
4. Using Cortes' comments in the first two paragraphs, what assumptions can you make about the wealth of the Aztec state?
5. List three characteristics of the Aztec religion. What religious practice did Cortes attempt to do away with? Do you think that he could have been successful?
Answer:
1. A primary source is something written by somone who was there while something happened. Like a journal. So the letter was a primary source because it was written by Cortes
2. I have never read his letter, but you probably have, so if it has information in it that Cortez did not actually observe, then it's still a primary source, it's just not entirely reliable. I'm pretty sure a document cannot be partially and primarily sourced.
3. I never read the letter, but it's pretty easy to infer things about someone by reading what they wrote. Here is a really weak example: "Jack carried the heavy buckets of water up the hill, making sure not to spill a drop, while Noah watered the flowers along the way. Which would later lead the village to a thirsty death." We can infer that Noah is either not very bright, or doesn't care about the villages water, and jack is a strong, hard working guy.
I believe that King Charles the V was the one who founded Cortes' little expedition, so the letter was probably meant for him, to tell of his travels and what he saw.
4 I haven't read the letter, so I can't answer this one. But maybe send a screenshot of the letter and I can answer some of these a little better
5. The Aztecs were seriously into sacrificing people to the gods. Three of their religious characteristics were: human sacrifice, ritual, Tenochtitlan religion. I'm pretty sure he did do away with those.
I hope this helps!!
Explanation:
1. Since Cortes wrote the letter, it was a primary source of information, because Cortes was involved in the events that he wrote about.
Hernán Cortés wrote five letters to the Emperor Charles V to account for his activities in Mexico (the land of the Aztecs).2. From his letter, there is no information that Cortes did not actually observe.
Based on the above assertion, his letter remains a primary source of information on the Aztecs.It is possible for a document to be partially primary and partially secondary if the writer incorporates the writings of others in his own.3. The main motives that propelled Cortes to write about "the wonders of Tenochtitlan" and the Aztecs were his intention to colonize the area.
Secondly, he discovered that the land was fertile and beaming with valuable minerals, gold and silver.
Thirdly, he was interested in converting the Aztecs to Christianity.
In his letters, his chief intended audience is King Charles V, the Emperor of Spain. Since he was writing to win the king's favor, this might have influenced the topics that he addressed and the way he went about addressing the issues.4. From Cortes' comments, the assumptions about the wealth of the Aztec state can be summarized in the following words: the Aztec land is blessed with natural resources, especially gold and silver.
5. Three characteristics of the Aztec religion are polytheistic; human sacrifices were rift to appease the gods; and all the Aztecs were involved in performing periodic rituals and ceremonies in honor of the gods.
Primarily, Cortes attempted to abolish the polytheistic religion of the Aztecs since he regarded it as idol worshiping.To be successful in doing away with the Aztec religion, Cortes needed to understand the fundamentals of their belief system so that he could easily sway them to Christianity by establishing linkages.Thus, given Cortes attitude towards the Aztecs and how he was regarded as a deity, he was very successful in doing this, enabling them to embrace Catholicism.

Explain the connection between Bleeding Kansas and the raid on Harpers Ferry.
Explanation:
Bleeding Kansas, (1854–59), small civil war in the United States, fought between proslavery and antislavery advocates for control of the new territory of Kansas under the doctrine of popular sovereignty. Sponsors of the Kansas-Nebraska Act (May 30, 1854) expected its provisions for territorial self-government to arrest the “torrent of fanaticism” that had been dividing the nation regarding the slavery issue. Instead, free-soil forces from the North formed armed emigrant associations to populate Kansas, while proslavery advocates poured over the border from Missouri. Regulating associations and guerrilla bands were formed by each side, and only the intervention of the governor prevented violence in the Wakarusa War, launched in December 1855 over the murder of an antislavery settler.Abolitionist John Brown led anti-slavery fighters in Kansas before his famed raid on Harpers Ferry.
