How did the political factors contribute to the enslavement of Africans in North America?
Q. How did the economic, geographic, and political factors contribute to the enslavement of Africans in North America?
Asked by T.J. - Tue Sep 16 19:44:04 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. It had a lot to do with it from both sides. Africans were selling there own people who's villages were captured. This helped Africans because at the time the West cost of Africa wasnt able to get a lot of things imported in so selling the people allowed them to pay a lot more for people to deliever to there region. It helped America cause this place has always been built on cheap labor. Political wise it was a lot larger in Africa. IT allowed some people to take power while others lost everything. In North America getting slaves didnt hit polotics until the slaves had been here for a while and some decided that they felt slaves were human also.

Wondering if wireless routers bought in north america will work in europe?
Q. I am just wondering if any wireless router purchased in North America will work in Europe? I admit that I don't know much about how a router works - lol. Thanks!

A. There's no reason why not. A router picks up its WAN side address from your DSL gateway or cable modem. It assigns IP addresses on the LAN side to the systems on your local network. The only real differences you'll encounter will be in the power settings. Get an adapter to change from the voltage used in Europe to the U.S. 110V standard, or you'll burn the router's circuitry up.
