Answer:
The British colonies did not actually treat the natives of Ghana that badly. ... Only around 200,000 slaves were traded with British colonies. The British colonies had to protect whole villages sometimes, this was because if they didn't, the Ashanti tribes would kidnap people and them sell them to other European countries.
Explanation:
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.

how did the period of absolutism relate to the world today
Answer:
Absolutism is a form of rule in monarchies that consists of the government of a ruler acting on his own authority without essential political responsibilities for democratic institutions. This form of political organization predominated in Europe during the 1600s and 1700s, until the beginning of the liberal revolutions, and led to the formation and consolidation of the nation states of modern Europe.
Today absolutism is practically non-existent in the world with few exceptions, since all nations have embraced, in one way or another, the concept of democracy for their political and social organization. Examples of currently existing absolutist forms of government are the reigns of the King of Saudi Arabia and the Pope in the Vatican State, each derived from religious principles.
