<u>William Shakespeare </u>still has a profound influence on theater. We can summarize this influence in<u> five big changes</u>: 1. The <em><u>theater was exclusively reserved for the wealthy and the educated</u></em>. With the emergence of his writings, came tales that appealed to the masses. 2. <em><u>His plays were often imbued with universal truths of human existence,</u></em> rather than acting as mirrors of the privileged life. 3. The way in which Shakespeare’s <em><u>plots move forward has helped define modern play-writing.</u></em> 4. A <em><u>new type of storytelling</u></em> in which characters’ choices drive plots forward and as a consequence, journeys in his plays are dynamic. 5. <u>Shakespeare</u> invented <em><u>genres that mixed both tragedy and comedy. </u></em>
Answer: B) Cornelius Vanderbilt and the $1 million endowment he gave to Vanderbilt University.
"Robber barons" were powerful businessmen of the 19th-century United States who made their fortunes through dubious practices. Some of these morally questionable strategies are monopolies, the formation of trusts, exploitation of workers, etc. Cornelius Vanderbilt is an example of this type of industrialist. Moreover, a donation to Vanderbilt University is likely to be seen by most people as a "philanthropic" or charitable act.
An oligarchy is a system of government where a small number of individuals government a political entity. These individuals can be elected, but normally they are unelected officials who have been given the rights to lead through authoritarian methods.

The tensions over the slavery caused conflict in America primarily because of the different political views on the matter, as well as the economy.
The North wanted to modernize, and to follow the example of the European countries that abolished the slavery, thus they wanted the slaves to be freed, and to be equal citizens in the society. Also, the North was industrialized, so they were really not dependent on slaves to keep their economy going.
The South wanted things to remain the same. They did not wanted the slavery to be abolished, but instead to remain as it is. The economy of the south was largely based on the plantations with different types of crops. Big portion of the work done on the plantations was done by the slaves, so if they were freed, that would mean that the plantations would either be left without enough laborers, or the former slaves would have demanded wages that would lower the profit of the plantation owners.
This disagreements eventually led to a bloody conflict, which ended up with a win for the North.
