HIstory and culure of Southern Africa

For 1000's of years the Africans were living simple lives hunting animals and building communities. The Khoisan were one the biggest tribes in southern Africa, they were divided in to many ethnic groups and lived mostly of hunting and herding. Another big tribe was the Bantu who brought with their migration a lot of new languages and tools. Great Zimbabwe was an empire built by the Shona for trading purposes, the word Zimbabwe meant great walls.

many Europeans such as Dutch, French and German settled in certain regions of Africa, their descendants were called Afrikaners. Because of the Europeans in Africa a new language was developed, it was named Afrikaans after the the Afrikaners that developed it. Afrikaans is a mix of dutch and Khoisan and a few Bantu words but through time it has been adapted with German, French, and English.

By the 1900's South Africa's goverment was ruled by white Afrikaners thus increasing the amount of racial discrimination in the country. As a result the ANC ( African National Congress) was formed in 1902

Scramble for Africa

1.Our strategy was to try and get around countries in a peaceful manner. We did that by focusing on getting the countries we needed first then getting valuable land to trade such as Angola and Botswana.

2.What me and Scott were most concerned about while we claimed land was who wanted that land the most since we were willing to trade but not so much to battle unless we had no choice.

3.I think France won the game since they conquered vary valuable, and manege to get most of the east coast which was required for their goal.

4.i think Portugal lost since all their land seemed to be spread around Africa with no actual strong and valuable pieces of land

Southern African Physical Geography

Southern Africa is region with a large variety of land forms and resources. Most of Southern Africa is located on a plateau up to 1,22o meters above sea level, and at the east of the plateau at the escarpment (the edge of a plateau) the Drakensberg Mountains are found. The Okavango is one of many rivers in Southern Africa but unlike most the Okavango does not reach the coast its basin is located in the middle of Botwana were it is host to many animals like crocodiles and hippos. The east of Sothern Affica is were it is driest in what is now known as the Namib Desert.

Can We Trust "To Be A Slave"?

I think we can trust Julius Lester because he does include interviews and letter of former slaves who lived through this. Another reason is that he shows cases of owners being bad such as in page 49 were the slave says "They zamine you just like they do a horse" showing how they were treated like animals instead of humans but he also hows cases of owners not treating them as bad like in page 31 and 32 were Byrl Anderson explains how here master was actually a good man who was against slavery "He called up a old sow of 13 pigs all different colors, you see those pigs are all differnt colors but they all have the same mother, they are all brothers and sisters." Julius Lester hows differnt stories from many slaves all having a different view of slavery showing how it was bad to some and good to others and thats why I think we can trust him.

Movement:People come from all over the world to see it. The stones and materials traveled long distances to get there.

Region: This was a complicated structure that shows key Inca architecture.

Violence Leads To More Violence

I think that the quote "Violence Leads To More Violence" is true since whenever a war starts someone always has to hit first. In 'Julius Caesar' violence leads to more violence when in page 131 Act 3 scene 3 Cinna a innocent man was killed for no real reason but for what his name was. Violence leads to violence and death when Brutus kills him self(In Act 5 scene 5). Violence is usualy started and ended by more violence another example is when Flavius and Marullus two of Pompey followers are executed for acting up in Luprecal( Act 1 scene 1). War is one of the worst forms of violence and it starts in the play when of Octavius and Antony decide to avenge Caesar death in Act 4 scene 1. In conclusion I belive that violence is always followed by more violence.
