By 1890, the United States had by far the world's most productive economy. American industry produced twice as much as its closest competitor--Britain. But the United States was not a great military or diplomatic power. Its army numbered less than 30,000 troops, and its navy had only about 10,000 seamen. Britain's army was five times the size of its American counterpart, and its navy was ten times bigger. The United States' military was small because the country was situated between two large oceans and was surrounded by weak or friendly nations. It faced no serious military threats and had little interest in asserting military power overseas.<span>

Being a sharecropper or raising cotton in 1875 in Mississippi is exhausting, demeaning and destroys personal initiative. Being a share cropper might mean that you will have a little something left over for yourself if you have a very good crop. But without good crops, you will have nothing. My family and I work in the fields from sun up to sundown. We don’t own the land we work on. Our owner lets us grow crops on his land and takes a percentage of any profit.

Also, that the south was the raciest towards people that
looks different than them. Then it only stands to reason that the sectionalism

Answer:
If other scientists had not shared their discoveries, science wouldn't be the way it is today. For example, gravity would still be a question of how it works and what it is if Newton hadn't shared it with the world. A scientist before Isaac Newton was Galileo one of his many inventions was a thermometer, if it weren't for him would we still be able to tell the temperature?
