I have no idea

Answer 3

http://www.unesco.org/new/en/social-and-human-sciences/themes/slave-route/transatlantic-slave-trade/ im reading from here. Seems like it wouldn't be D as the materials would be coming from america not africa. It wouldnt be C as the merchants were not directly receiving free labor.I don't think it could be A, as West Africa was from where they were taking the slaves from.
Im guessing B.
sorry im not 100% sure @AloneS . I read the whole article and thats all i could determine.

Answer 5

Answer 10

It's probably D since there were already free slaves called endentured servants. Also, the U.S. used native Americans for free labour though they weren't as good working long hours in the sun. Another thing, we got gold and other resources from Africa. I'm thinking sugar or salt was the biggest thing, but the U.S. also took over Hawaii for the same resources.

Answer 11

Imperialism. It's called imperialism. Had to look it up xD
