Convinced Lincoln would suppress states' rights--Lincoln's response to Fort Sumter convinced many states that the federal government had become corrupt and could not be trusted. 

Lincoln responded to the siege of Fort Sumter with military force showed many southern states that the government was overstepping their power. States were willing to fight the "corrupt" government and follow South Carolina's lead to separate themselves from a government that became too large and restrictive.

The crisis in Syria is a result of the collapse of the political sphere and rise of instability across the Middle East beginning
Sav [38]

The Arab Spring was a loosely related group of protests that ultimately resulted in regime changes in countries such as Tunisia, Egypt and Libya. Not all of the movements, however, could be deemed successful—at least if the end goal was increased democracy and cultural freedom. In fact, for many countries enveloped by the revolts of the Arab Spring, the period since has been hallmarked by increased instability and oppression. Given the significant impact of the Arab Spring throughout northern Africa and the Middle East, it’s easy to forget the series of large-scale political and social movements arguably began with a single act of defiance.

The Arab Spring began in December 2010 when Tunisian street vendor Mohammed Bouazizi set himself on fire to protest the arbitrary seizing of his vegetable stand by police over failure to obtain a permit. Bouazizi’s sacrificial act served as a catalyst for the so-called Jasmine Revolution in Tunisia. The street protests that ensued in Tunis, the country’s capital, eventually prompted authoritarian president Zine El Abidine Ben Ali to abdicate his position and flee to Saudi Arabia. He had ruled the country with an iron fist for more than 20 years.

Which three major factors contributed to the Roman Empire’s decline? political insurrections, military rebellions, famine politi
iren [92.7K]

The correct answer is: political instability, military conflict, and economic crisis.

Political instability: at the end of the 4th century AD, the Roman empire was going through a political crisis. While the emperor Theodosius tried to handle the social uprisings between Christians and non-Christians, he was struggling against the usurper Magnus Maximus and the empire was facing cases of corruption in the political sphere that diverted public funds from the military needs. Due to these reasons and for administrative purposes, Theodosius decided to establish Christianity as the official religion of the empire and divided the empire into two parts: the Western Roman Empire, with its capital in Ravenna, and the Eastern Roman Empire, with its capital in Constantinople.

Military conflict: while the Roman Empire was facing these internal problems that weakened it, there were urgent problems in its borders since many barbarian invaders were attacking Roman positions from the outside. The Huns from the East, led by Attila, devastated a great portion of the empire, Saxons invaded Britain, Goths and Lombard people from the North as well invaded Italy and Hispania. The Roman army for the first time was not in the position of facing so many fronts at the same time.

Economic crisis: the enormous Roman administrative device was going through a financial crisis. It was so big that it did not find the necessary resources to satisfy its needs. Gold mines that used to fuel the economy were very far away, difficult to achieve, and the Empire had to make a large number of official coins out of copper provoking a great devaluation of the Roman currency.

What purpose does the wicker fence serve?
IRINA_888 [86]

The correct answer is - protection of the cargo.

The wicker fence on the ships of the Phoenicians had the purpose to protect the cargo. Since the sea waters are not always calm, and very often, out of nowhere, a storm can emerge and contribute to bigger waves, as well as rocking of the ship itself, the Phoenicians invented a simple trick, and that was the wicker fence. With it on place, the cargo was safe on the boat, and it was not able to slip away and be lost in the sea.
