A. There was no Bronze Age or Medieval period in north America. The natives went straight from a stone age culture to the modern period. Bronze age, Iron Age, Roman, Saxon and Viking, Medieval are all periods of European history and can not be applied to the Americas. The fact is that although the whole of North and South America retained neolithic culture until white contact, certain native cultures also evolved rudimentary metalworking techniques. This ranged from the very crude use of native copper in the Great Lakes and Central America regions to casting gold and other metals in central and South America. This is still part of a Stone Age technology, however.

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.
