During the Medieval era (500 - 1500 AD), the main form of entertainment for lords and ladies was holding of banquets at their castles. Together with invited guests of high nobility, the lords and ladies sat at the high table and ate rich food and wine served by squires while being entertained by court jesters who would try make the guests laugh and  minstrels who would play music as requested. Outdoor entertainment involved jousts and hunting, mostly for the gentlemen.  Indoor board games such as chess were  common while the ladies would enjoy sewing and making fine embroidery. Dancing and singing were also commonplace.

Things really took off during the Elizabethan period from 1558 to 1603. It was  an age in which there was quite a desire to acquire some social polish, therefore grand balls and parties were the order of the day. This was further enhanced by the explosive growth of printing . Invitations to these social events was by card, which really added to their prestige. Lords and ladies would compete to host the grandest, most spectacular balls, making sure the high and mighty in society were invited such as the king and queen, so that they would be the talk of the town for as long as possible.

<h3>What was the attitude of poor White people to slavery?</h3>

Even though owning enslaved people was something that was limited to rich Whites, poor Whites in the South supported the practice.

This was as a result of the need for the Poor Whites to always feel in some sort of position of power over African Americans even if their lives weren't much better.

why did the battle of lexington and concord take place? who was involved? what were the results? why was the battle important?
anygoal [31]

Answer:

In April 1775, the "shots heard around the world" were fired at Lexington and Concord. The shots were the result of colonial tension toward the acts passed by the British government. The colonial militia was victorious at Lexington and Concord. Delegates to the Second Continental Congress assembled in Philadelphia three weeks after the battles at Lexington and Concord. The Congress selected John Hancock as its president. Hancock was one of the richest colonists. He used his wealth to fund the Sons of Liberty in his home state of Massachusetts. The Congress also selected George Washington as the commander of the Continental Army. In an attempt to avoid a full-scale war, the Congress sent King George the Olive Branch Petition. In it, the colonists asked the King to protect their rights and told the King that they wanted peace. King George rejected their petition and began preparing for war.
