In the Post-Classical Era, trade was crucial for the diffusion of cultures because it connected major areas of the world. With many different trade routes such as the Trans-Saharan and the Silk Roads, religions, ideas, and technology were able to spread with ease. Religions that traveled along those trade routes are Islam and Christianity. Both religions spread far and wide through the practices of trade and warfare. Merchants had a significant impact on the spread of both religions, as they were the ones traveling along these trade routes and learning about different religions and cultures.

Good evening to everyone in attendance, today I intend to persuade you that the modern day struggles you may endure do not equate to the struggles of an African-American slave like myself during the American Revolutionary period.

I saw the war as a beacon of hope and an opportunity at freedom; unfortunately, while the colonists won, and though the founding fathers of this country advocated in the Declaration of Independence that “all men are created equal”, my status as a slave never changed.
