History concludes that these three continents were quite connected in the year 1500 and some before and after that. This was because of the slave trade that took place between the three continents. Slaves were collected from Africa then shipped to the United States via Europe. Despite the technological and economical difference between these continents and especially Africa compared to the United States and Europe, the three were quite similar in terms of political uprising. On the surface, these three continents seemed quite dissimilar but research has proved the contrary. Scholars have gone to extra lengths to show the similarity in culture and politics despite the obvious comparison. Notably, there also were differences that were obvious and sometimes not so much.
Africa, Europe, and America, beard, the similarity of political uprising. In these major coexisting continents, there existed an era mostly characterized with empire upsurge1. The more civilized areas of Europe, there developed more civilized states that have existed until the present. An example is Mississippi and the Mayans that were formed in the northern and southern America respectively. In addition, the trade that went on between these three continents promoted the surge of political stability. The trade profited these continents in ensuring political stability since as expected in areas that experienced political stability flourished economically. Trading entailed the constant movement of traders between these nations. This promoted and popularized the spread of religion in these areas. Religious ideas and traditional believes become mixed throughout the world due to the movement and the constant migration of traders. There continued to spread all over the world.
This is not all the comparison that can be derived from these pre historic times. The three regions were different in many ways. The regions had different backgrounds and this has remained dominant throughout the years. The diets and work quite differed between these communities. This would predominantly have undoubtedly let to the disparity witnessed today between the three continents. While America engaged in activities as mixed farming and crop rotation to feed their families and for sale, Africans majorly relied on hunting and gathering. The Americans and Europeans dived into the use of technique to enhance their harvests while the Africans remained content with the spoils they got from hunting. Another differences lied in the basis of origin and political leadership. The Africans were independent at the time and created empires while the Europeans colonized the Americans. Americans later on gained their independence from the English. The Europeans engages in colonialism and used the harvests from America to feed their citizens. The Europeans later went to colonize India, china, and much later Africa.
Africa has been quite far behind in sectors of economy, education, and politics. This has raised questions begging to explore what happened in those years yet the continent of America and Africa were exposed to civilization quite similarly. This might be accounted to the lack of a proper outlet for Africa to reach the rest of the word or quite obviously, satisfaction with little they used to survived. Despite the differences it is always important to remember that were are all similar and apart from the differences in the lifestyles we lead, we experience similar fears, joys, and worries. It is therefore important to treat each other with the respect that we all deserve.
