<span>The Mormon pioneers were known as very hard working and industrious people. They were very well organized and had great faith that God was on their side and therefore they could succeed. From their struggles, they learned to work together to survive. Immediately after they arrived, they plotted out a city and began digging irrigation lines from mountain streams to the valleys below. Crops were planted before homes were built. </span>

<span>People were organized into companies to settle various areas which would produce different items based on the climate - those sent to southern Utah grew cotton and raised silkworms; Northern Utah was ideal for dairy farming; Central Utah had areas for mining and timber. They worked together to build homes, often many families would share a small cabin until more could be built. Because timber was hard to find and nails were extremely rare, they made do with what they had, making adobe homes and lashing wood frames together with hides.</span>

<span> Rather than become dependent on expensive shipments from the East, they made their own materials (including yarn and fabric!) and sold the excess to those traveling further west to California and Oregon. It took a lot of faith and hard work, but the Mormon pioneers turned what was practically a barren wasteland into a thriving and prosperous place.</span>

What was the great controversy that divided the byzantine empire in the eighth and ninth centuries?
allsm [11]
<span>The Byzantine Empire was a vast and powerful civilization with origins that can be traced to 330 A.D., when the Roman emperor Constantine I dedicated a “New Rome” on the site of the ancient Greek colony of Byzantium. Though the western half of the Roman Empire crumbled and fell in 476 A.D., the eastern half survived for 1,000 more years, spawning a rich tradition of art, literature and learning and serving as a military buffer between Europe and Asia. The Byzantine Empire finally fell in 1453, after an Ottoman army stormed Constantinople during the reign of Constantine XI.</span>
