The most important event was obviously the American Civil War from 1861-1865. This led to the 14th Amendment which defined a citizen as "any person born or naturalized in the US." The 13th Amendment abolished slavery, and the 15th Amendment prohibits denying the right to vote to someone because of their race.
Other key events include the Louisiana Purchase, the Texas Revolution, The Spanish-American War, the War of 1812, the purchase of Alaska, the Mexican Cession, the Indian Wars, and the California Gold Rush.
Like I said, the right to vote was extended to all male citizens by the 15th Amendment. Women were not given the right to vote until the 19th Amendment was passed in 1920.
I will give you an example of something that has helped not only small businesses but Humanity as a whole. the internet and World Wide Web this is probably one of the single most Innovative scientific and technological advances of modernity. It is now omnipresent in not only developed countries but developing ones period because for example we all have our phones even if they are not smartphones they are part of a network of computers that is interconnected across the globe which allows for financial transactions to happen more quickly access to banking services as well as email services on the infrastructure where they email has the ability to travel. The internet is simply the backbone of integrated theaters in Computing systems that are interlinked together physically while the World Wide Web is the digital apparatus of what one would see on a screen where they get their emails. But I think this has transformed the ability for businesses to get access to so many services through the digital means rather than having to go to a certain Bank apply for a loan with paper and start up but now they can simply interact with their banking partners and credit markets through this infrastructure system.
SUBTOPICS
• The Confucian Tradition Institutionalized through the Examination System
• Who Took the Civil Service Examinations?
• The Levels of the Examination System
• Social Mobility and Curricular Uniformity under the Confucian System
Although the civil service examination system as such is perhaps more aptly categorized under “government” than “religion,” it is discussed in this unit to highlight the central role that the examination system played in the dissemination of the Confucian worldview throughout traditional Chinese society.
THE CONFUCIAN TRADITION INSTITUTIONALIZED THROUGH THE EXAMINATION SYSTEM
Imperial China was famous for its civil service examination system, which had its beginnings in the Sui dynasty (581-618 CE) but was fully developed during the Qing dynasty. The system continued to play a major role, not only in education and government, but also in society itself, throughout Qing times.
The civil service examination system was squarely based upon the Confucian classics and upon recognized commentaries on those classics. The examination system was the basic support for the ongoing study of the Confucian classics during late-imperial times and could be said to have been the impetus behind the school curriculum that was followed all over China, even at the level of the village school for young boys. (In imperial times educational opportunities were far more restricted for girls and women than were for boys. Some girls did get an education, but this was a minority.)
