I think the biggest reason why Mansa Musa was considered a good leader is because of his pillgrimage to Mecca. His pillgrimage to Mecca was such a big deal because he brought lots of gold with him and other people started to know about Mali because of him. Mansa Musa also brought lots of things back to Mali that he got from Mecca.

I think he is considered a good leader because he made everybody know there is something south of the Sahara. This was important to make him a good leader because this helped trade become more popular in West Africa. So that is why Mansa Musa is a good leader.

I think that the greatest reason Mansa Musa was a good leader was his Pilgrimage to Mecca. He brought musicians, slaves, And Teachers which aloud him to spread culture through Africa. He also brought huge amounts of gold from west Africa. The reason he did this was so people would know who they were.

Mansa Musa is famous for his Pilgrimage to Mecca but that is not what makes him a good ruler. In my opinion, the reason Mansa Musa is considered a good ruler is because of the learning and ideas he brought back. Education, religion, and architecture all thrived under his rule.

I think that because of the affects of the pilgrimage to Mecca Mansa Musa is the reasoning behind Mansa Musa's great leadership. So I do agree that the pilgrimage to Mecca caused impacts for the best, it really doesn't make him a good leader for traveling the ideas he brought back and what he did while on his pilgrimage should be why he is classified as a great leader!

I think that the main reason Mansa Musa is a great leader according to most textbooks regarding Africa, is because he crossed the Sahara desert to take a pilgrimage to Mecca. He was Muslim so this is a very important part of his life. The great pilgrimage put Africa beyond the Sahara desert on the map, showed the grand power of Mali, showing wealth and giving wealth, and increases trade. And as we have learned from Rome, trade strengthens an empire, and that is what Mansa Musa did. Strengthen his empire classifying him as a great leader.

I think the greatest reason why Mansa Musa is considered a great leader is his trip to Mecca. His trip put Africa on the map which influenced trade, made allies, and showed how powerful the king was. And for those reasons, that is why I think Mansa Musa was considered a great leader.

I think Mansa Musa is considered a great leader because of his voyage to Mecca. This made Africa so much more noticed and grew the population and put them on the map. This is something that is difficult to do but Mansa Musa did it by giving away gold which doesn't seem smart but was actually very smart and clearly worked very well.
