The pike treaties promised all the of following except a. ending the institution of slavery b. paying the annuities promised by the union c. respecting the five tribes ownership of tribal lands d. paying and equipping american indian troops

The answer is A, ending the institution of slavery. Despite the fact, that there is no written evidence of the treaties Albert Pike signed  with tribes of native Americans. Research suggests that there was payment for the territories, and annuities, some land ownership was respected and some of those tribes served in the troops of the Confederate army. However the topic of slavery was still not an issue regarding native Americans in the 1860's.

Because France continued to be a large empire with many colonies around the world, despite having lost the colony of Haiti, which was one of the richest and most valuable.

Explanation:

France used a mercantlist policy to benefit the country, and when the industrial revolution spread from England, it enjoyed very high and fast economic growth, which set the stage for its current standing in global affairs.

Haiti, on the other hand, was embroiled in internal wars, French embargoes, conflicts with neighboring countries, specially the Dominican Republic, internal political strife, natural resources depletion, natural catatrophes, and very high and unsustainable population growth. All these factors have contributed Haiti's poor level of development, high level of poverty, and low standing in world affairs.
