The southern states were a society based on a division of classes. White Society and Black Society.

The White society was divided between:

Planters: The rich class that held the majority of the wealth of the southern states with them.

Middle class: Composed mostly by farmers who lived modestly growing cotton and corn.

Poor whites: Did not possess slaves and struggled for a survivor.


The Black Society was divided into:

Free black people: They usually bought they own freedom with money they saved.

Mulattoes: People of mixed breed that had plantations. They had limited rights and had to carry documents that proved they were free, if not they would become bonded laborers again.

Slaves: Tied to their owners usually resided in slave quarters away from their masters home.

In the context of the text, how has America changed over time? How does the United States' economy of the
mote1985 [20]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Unfortunately, you did not include the text. Without the text, we do not know what you are referring to.

However, we can help you by answering in the following general terms.

Yes, America has changed over time in many aspects. Unfortunately in others, not so much.

American society has changed in many ways since the English people arrived at Jamestown, Virginia, and founded the first colony in the North American territory. Then during American colonial times, the disputes with the Native American tribes marked the different approaches to the life of white American people and Native American Indians. So radically different.

Then, it came to the issue of slavery and racism. After the Emancipation Proclamation, Lincoln freed the slaves in the southern territories. ut as we know, even after the Union´s victory in the Civil War, Reconstruction was so different in the South. Southern people did the opposite and created legislation such as the Jim Crow laws and the black codes, that suppressed rights for the African Americans.

Then, it came the time of the 19th amendment and the right to a vote for women.

After two world wars and the Great Depression,  the United States became one of the most powerful countries in the world. However, domestic issues continued. The issue of civil rights for African Americans and other minorities split the north and south again after so many years of differences.

Today, as we have witnessed recently, racism is still a big issue in America. Furthermore, political adversaries have increased the division between political ideologies in the country.

aliina [53]
B is the answer

The arrests of the Templars in France was easy: The fighting men of the order were then on the bloody border with Islam, in Spain, and on Cyprus. The Templars in France were aged veterans of the Crusades, well into their second childhood. 

<span>The things the knights confessed under torture defied belief: trampling and urinating on the Crucifix, secret rites of obscene kisses, sodomy, usury, treason, idolatry, heresy. After the arrests came seven years of inquisition, then hundreds and hundreds of public executions by burning. In the end, Pope Clement V abolished the order.</span>
