Which statement about the Mali and Songhai empires of the 1300s CE is TRUE?

A) They were both Muslim Empires.

The Mali and Songhai Empire both had two common features: Islam and the greatness of their empires.

Around the 1300s in the Mali Empire, Mansa Musa rose to power, and through him, Islam became one of the prominent religions. Mansa Musa was known for the construction of the learning center of Sankoré Madrasah which became a pivotal place in the Islamic world. Islam gained further strength under Musa's reign as he spread its growth.

On the other hand, the Songhai Empire adopted Islam around the 1000s, but most of the inhabitants kept their traditional faith.

most americans in 1776 were farmers. some, were merchants. others worked in businesses. many americans, especially the merchants, were angry at the british parliament because it imposed taxes on american trade. anger at britain's taxes was one of the major causes of the revolutionary war.

during the revolutionary war, the continental congress borrowed money from americans, such as robert morris and haym salomon, as well as foreign governments, such as france, spain, and the netherlands. the continental congress printed money, but as the war went on, the value of that money continued to go down causing a rapid rise in prices of every type of good and service. british control of the sea which made exporting and importing difficults and expensive contributed to the high prices. when the war ended the newly freed united states was forced to come to grips with high prices and a large public debt. pictures, poems, and speeches, patriot leaders such as paul revere (1735-1818) and samuel adams (1722-1803) turned the relatively minor incident into a choice piece of propaganda, of "massacre" proportions.
