https://padlet.com/eileenhaniszewski/1ip7qli3facj6p4x Your textbook says that European colonization of Africa "brought stability, peace, and a degree of civilization." Do you agree or disagree with this statement? Why? Your text also states that European colonization also meant the African peoples were oppressed and their wealth was seized from them. Today, no traditional African social structures and royal lines exist. Do you think Africa was better off after colonization? Or would Africa have been better off without colonization? Explain your reasoning. Respond to these questions, then give your peer's posts 1-5 stars. 5 stars= Totally agree! 4 = Somewhat agree. 3 = Kind of agree. 2 = Meh, not really. 1 = No way!!! en-us 2021-02-24 20:26:47 UTC 2021-03-04 19:45:03 UTC hello@padlet.com eileenhaniszewski https://padlet.com/eileenhaniszewski/1ip7qli3facj6p4x/wish/1238384782 Directions- Step 1: Your textbook says that European colonization of Africa "brought stability, peace, and a degree of civilization."

Yet, I believe that the Africans would've been able to shape their civilization on their own. Africa was better off without colonization because it's not worth African people being "oppressed", having their "wealth seized, and losing their royal lines and social structures.                                                                                                                                                                                      -Bella Loner 7th Grade]]> 2021-03-02 15:24:38 UTC https://padlet.com/eileenhaniszewski/1ip7qli3facj6p4x/wish/1258876448 https://padlet.com/eileenhaniszewski/1ip7qli3facj6p4x/wish/1258929016 I agree with this statement. Yet, the African civilization could have been better off without colonization.  This is because they were oppressed and their wealth was taken away.  I give Bella 5 stars. ]]> 2021-03-02 15:32:36 UTC https://padlet.com/eileenhaniszewski/1ip7qli3facj6p4x/wish/1258929016 growe22 https://padlet.com/eileenhaniszewski/1ip7qli3facj6p4x/wish/1271010188 I also agree with Bella. ]]> 2021-03-04 19:44:01 UTC https://padlet.com/eileenhaniszewski/1ip7qli3facj6p4x/wish/1271010188
