Hi I'm Cleo and I'm 16,
nice to meet you all.

ok Well I have to identify all these people/places/events and thiere importance in the time period for one section of my summer assinment and theres just a few I'm stuck on.

1. Mali -- I know its a country was part of French Empire in 1800s but I don't know what it has to do with US history. (slave trade- Henry the Navigator?)

2. Merchant-capitalists -- again I know the basics of this, but I don't know how it ties in to colonialism or US history.

those are the two that I'm haveing trouble with at the moment.
Any Ideas? :confused:
thanks everyone.
