Mansa Musa probably viewed his pilgrimage as fulfillment of
a obligation of his faith. He perhaps also saw it as an adventure and an
opportunity to advance his prestige and legitimacy as a ruler both at home and
in the larger Islamic World.
To the Egyptians, all the gold brought by Mansa Musa must
have drawn much attention, even though it may have caused depression of gold prices.
The willingness of his followers to pay over the odds for goods must have thrilled

rituals in Arab would have strengthened the notion that he was a devout Muslim.
His effort to recruit Sharifs for his Kingdom could have strengthened his image

view of him was probably shaped by secondhand stories of how remarkable the amounts
of his gold and how impressive his entourage was, so they would view Musa mostly
as a rich and powerful monarch.
From the given list, we can single out the following actions which turned sports into a national pastime:
- Americans attended games;
- They followed teams in the newspaper;
- They read about teams in magazine reports;
- They listened to games on the radio.
In fact, this period (1920s) was called The Golden Age of American Sports or in some books it is called the Age of the Spectator.

In doing so, white conservatives sought to protect racial segregation in the South. Supporters of this party have taken some political positions in the South to preserve segregation. Its members have been called "Dixiecrats," portmanteau "Dixie," referring to the Southern United States, and "Democrat." The party did not nominate its candidates for either local or state elections. The Dixiecrats had little influence on politics in the short term, but they represented a weakening of the "Solid South."
<span>The most logical answer would be cotton. With Texas as such a large state and having such a large ability to produce such a plant, this would add such a glut to the cotton market that it would drive down overall prices significantly.</span>
