The invention of the wheel by the Sumerians revolutionized the transportation. Wagons could be used to carry heavy loads. The Tigris and Euphrates rivers made transport of goods easy and economical. Riverboats were used to transport goods for trade. Strong currents moved the boats downstream, but because of the current they could travel in one direction only. The boats had to be dismantled after the trip downstream. The Mesopotamians used three types of boats: wooden boats with a triangular sail, the turnip or Guffa boat which was shaped like a tub, made of reeds and covered with skin, and the kalakku which was a raft of timbers supported by inflated animal skins.

What did the Georgia government use to get people to move to the state?
fgiga [73]

Answer: C. Land.

Explanation:

The last thirteenth colony in North America was founded in the area of Georgia. Georgia was supposed to be the first line of defense in the country's interior against possible attacks by natives or Spaniards. To attract residents to the newly formed colony, the authorities distributed free land to new settlers. Of course, there was a limit in terms of the glorified allotted plot. Authorities also initially decided that the allotted piece of land could not be sold. Authorities also banned slavery in the colony in hopes of attracting the Catholic population. These are all measures that gave good positive results in the first year after establishing the colony.
