Answer:
European sailors first reached sub-Saharan Africa in 1442, when Portuguese ships reached the Senegal river. The Portuguese had been sailing the coasts of Morocco and Western Sahara since 1413, when they captured the Moroccan city of Ceuta [still a Spanish city today]. Between 1413 and the 1440s, the Portuguese established several fortified settlements along the Moroccan coast, especially at Arzila, Mogador (now Essaouira), Safi, and Tangier; they retained a strong presence in Morocco until 1578, when the Portuguese King Sebastião I and much of the Portuguese nobility were killed at the Battle of Alcácer-Quibir. By 1471, West African leaders between the coasts of Senegal and Ghana had established commercial and diplomatic connections with Portuguese traders [major early sites of trade and settlement were on the Gambia river, Bugendo on the São Domingos river in Guinea-Bissau, and Sierra Leone].
Explanation:
For the next 150 years, West African rulers and traders came across the Portuguese more than any other European nation. [There were also smaller trading missions led by the English and the French, but these were less frequent]. In the beginning, the Portuguese main motivations were: 1, an interest in the extensive gold production of Bono-Mansu and the Akan states; 2, competition with the Ottoman Empire to access this gold [the Ottomans had captured Constantinople in 1453, prompting a crisis in Christian Europe]; 3, the desire to find a trade route to markets in India around the Cape of Good Hope; 4, ever increasingly, the trade in enslaved persons.
By the 1590s, the Dutch began to rival the Portuguese as the major European trading nation in Africa. Their ships were bigger and better, and the goods they traded with African political leaders were of much higher quality. The Dutch had captured many of the main Portuguese trading stations in West Africa by 1650, especially at Gorée in Senegal (in 1621), at Elmina in Ghana (in 1637), and at Luanda in Angola (in 1641). Initially the Dutch were mainly interested in textiles, animal hides [for the leather industry], and ivory, but by the middle of the 17th century they too turned to slave trading. The Dutch interest in slave trading dates to the 1620s and the capture of half of the Brazilian colonies from the Portuguese. From 1630 to 1654 the Dutch controlled the northern part of Brazil, and the associated sugar plantations which used the labour of enslaved persons; their growing colonial interests drove their interest in slave trading, which took over in the second half of the 18th century.

Which of the following reform measures could voters use against a mayor they oppose?
a recall
an impeachment
a referendum
an initiative
Answer: It is A.a recall
A recall is the reform measure that voters can use against a mayor they oppose. This is the process by which voters can dismiss an elected officer through a referendum before the term of office ends.
Why was recall designed?The practice of recalling civil servants was an attempt to minimize the influence of political parties on representatives. Widely used in the United States, this recall was initially aimed at ensuring that elected civilians act in the interests of the constituency, rather than in the interests of political parties and their conscience. The actual dismissal is usually a resignation signed by a representative elected prior to taking office. During the term of office, if the representatives' performance does not meet their expectations, the letter may be challenged by the quorum of voters.
The correct answer is option A.

What will happen without the bill of rights and what would be the impact to the people?
Answer:
The bill of rights contains our basic human rights. Without them we won't be allowed to protect ourselves and we won't be allowed to speak freely. We could be jailed for anything because without due process of law(which guarantees that we must be tried by a jury of our peers) we won't be allowed a fair trial. We won't be allowed to practice any religion we please. The goovernment will be allowed to take what they want from anyone they want. The government will become tyrannical.
The impact this shows is that people will fear their government more than anything. Prisons would fill so fast that they'd have to build more. The crime rate will rise. More people would live in poverty. Thsi country could not survive without the bill of rights.

what was unique about Wilmington &weldon railroad & the North Carolina when they were new? i’ll mark brainlist if i can!!
Answer:
The Wilmington & Weldon Railroad (W&W) was the new name adopted in February 1855 by the Wilmington & Raleigh Railroad (completed in 1840), which ran from Wilmington to Weldon by way of Goldsboro and Rocky Mount, bypassing Raleigh. As a central rail link along the Atlantic Coast, it carried heavy traffic during the Civil War and made a considerable profit (in Confederate currency) for its owners. Because the W&W had its own facilities for rerolling iron rails and did not lie in the path of military action until the very end of the war, it suffered somewhat less than many other roads of the region and entered the Reconstruction period dilapidated but intact.
For 20 years after the war, Robert R. Bridgers of Edgecombe County served as president of the W&W. With backers including the Walters family of Baltimore, he developed interlocking directorates, leases, and traffic agreements (using the W&W as a base) that led to the formation of the Atlantic Coast Line Company and the eventual merger with the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad (ACL). In November 1872 the W&W had been leased to its southern connection, the Wilmington, Columbia, and Augusta, but the lease lapsed when the latter road failed to pay the W&W dividend in 1877. Bridgers and his associates acquired control of the Wilmington, Columbia, and Augusta in October 1879, and in June 1885 they leased it to the W&W for 99 years.
