Boosted economic prosperity through expansion of trade especially due to the rapid expansion and development of the 7000 mile silk road. The building of this road ensured that trade in farm produce developed a great deal.
Israel is roughly the size of Maine. Therefore, about 5 or 4 Israels should fit in Maine.

Legislation meant to segregate blacks and whites in a legal way.
As the US supreme court asked that as long as the blacks and white had equal fundings and that all conditions were the same, segregation can be seen as legal. However, this rarely happened, and it led to desegregation by force at the end. The Jim Crow Laws was the birth of this ruling, as it imposed "equal" but segregated laws (such as segregated laws for public transport, bathrooms, resteraunts, etc.) in much of the states.
