Thank you And here's your shmoop du jour brought to

00:05

you by yeoman from marvel coming soon to a theater

00:09

near you Wait clearly that sounds awful What would his

00:13

powers be yielding a bountiful crop All right check out

00:16

the excerpt on first avenue saluted my And now for

00:19

a question the gustav vasa excerpt reflects what and hear

00:24

your potential answers That was like the excerpt describes what

00:28

it was like to be yanked out of africa and

00:31

put onto a slave ship like cargo it's Not exactly

00:34

light Reading our job here is to figure out which

00:36

of these answer choices best reflects our nation's upsetting history

00:40

and let's look good option d well a yeoman is

00:43

not actually marvels Newest superhero yeoman were farmers who owned

that relevant gustavus is more concerned about the whole getting

01:28

tossed onto a slave ship thing Well the correct answer

01:31

is a By the time the excerpt above was published

01:33

the atlantic world economy was in full swing Thie interactions

01:41

of new world and european goods along with the african

01:44

slave trade We're assuming they hadn't gotten the whole people

01:47
