    The Colonial South One of the most thought provoking questions about the past of our country, specifically about the southern colonies, is ‘how was it effected by trade, industry, slavery, Indians, and how could England Govern the chaos?’ Before that is answered it must be determined how each of these characteristics of the South either worked in unison with one another, or combated each other in the final outcome.

    As political and industrial revolution scoured across Europe in the 19th century, governments and businesses began to take a particular interest in a continent of Africa. Due to the challenges it presented in previous centuries, it was not susceptible to imperial conquest similar to the Western Hemisphere in the 16th century. With the outset of the Industrial Revolution, along with its subsequent aspiration for raw materials and potential markets, a new set of motivations helped shape the dispute whether or not to make a presence in Africa.

    As a result of the Industrial Revolution, the U.S. became a true world power for the first time in history. There were four major reasons for the U.S. to develop an empire in the late 1800's, which were the closing of the American frontier, economics, religious and moral reasons, and geopolitics (Schultz, 2013). The idea behind manifest destiny was that the U.S. was destined by God to control all of the lands between the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans.

These examples show Africa being used for everything from military research and development to labor exploitation in the mining industry. In the case of the technological stagnation of Africa; Rodney portrays this in such a way that Europe acted as the gatekeeper determining what technology Africa would be permitted and what would be withheld.…
