Let's sort out the jumble:
<span>Advances in algebra and chemistry = Persia
Dividing a circle into 360 degrees = Assyria
Sexagesimal numbering system = Babylonia
Iron chariots = Hittite
First written language = Sumer
By the way, if the term "sexagesimal" isn't in your everyday vocabulary, that refers to a system based around the number 60. The Babylonians had specific, different symbols for each numeral up to 59.</span>
<span>The Emancipation Proclamation issued by President Abraham Lincoln on January 1, 1863 that abolished slavery in all states including those in the Confederacy. It is still an important document today because it finally removed the practice of slavery in America. Never again would people be bought or sold like property and it also defined that all people were equal and that no one had the right to enslave another. General Order 143 that enabled slaves and free blacks to enlist in the Union Army during the Civil War. The color regiments performed well and President praised these men for their sacrifice in winning the war. It is still relevant today , we judge not by their color but how well they perform and how committed they are to the cause at hand.</span>
Hi there!
He was Robert Edward Lee.
It was an incredible battle! Lee, with his army weakened and morally dejected, withdrew with his troops without being disturbed by the also exhausted federal forces. The Battle of Gettysburg was an American Civil War battle, fought between July 1 and 3, 1863 around the town of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, as part of the Gettysburg campaign. It was the battle with the most casualties in the United States.
The most surprising thing for me personally was the set up of the trenches, there is a very good system where the front line is the first to attack or be attacked while the others are there as backups. If someone were to get hurt within the first trench, there are easily accessible routes for the soldiers to take to retreat to safety, on the contrary, if the front lines were in need of any reinforcement whatsoever, there is a clear way to travel for the soldiers to get more ammunition or man power.
The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, which brought an official end to the Mexican-American War<span> (1846–48), was signed on February 2, 1848, at Guadalupe Hidalgo, a town near Mexico City. The U.S. paid Mexico $15 million and absorbed another $3 million in debts, and acquired New Mexico, Arizona and California.</span>
