Read the following passages from john newton’s diary. saturday 22 june being pretty warm, got up the men and washed all the slaves with fresh water. l am much afraid of another ravage from the flux [diarrheal infection], for we have had 8 taken within these few days. thursday 27 june when we were putting the slaves down in the evening, one that was sick jumped overboard. got him in again but he died immediately between his weakness and the salt water he had swallowed, though i imagine he would have lived but a little while being quite worn out. which claim is supported by this reading? the men on board the ship treated the enslaved people well. the ship suffered an epidemic of bacterial infection. the enslaved people onboard suffered from illness with some frequency. a large percentage of the enslaved people onboard had died.

The answer would be the enslaved people on-board suffered

from illness with some frequency.  This is because many of the slaves

didn't make it while being transported from one landmass to another. Though

Newton and his men took well of these slaves than most slave ships, there was not

anything they could do in the living accommodations, and they perhaps lodged

the ship with some illness

the great wall of china worked as a defense for the feudal states of the zhou dynasty to the north. during the warring states period more walls were put up to defend the borders of the different kingdoms. it was semi successful because despite the wall, the mongols eventually conquered china also the great wall provided protection to the economic development and cultural progress, safeguarded the trading routes such as the silk road, and secured transmission of information and transportation. @jayxboof
