melamori03 [73]3 years ago
7 0

During the early Byzantine period it served as a place of refuge against foreign invaders. From the 10th century, Thebes became a centre of the new silk trade, its silk workshops boosted by imports of soaps and dyes from Athens. The growth of this trade in Thebes continued to such an extent that by the middle of the 12th century, the city had become the biggest producer of silks in the entire Byzantine empire, surpassing even the Byzantine capital, Constantinople. The women of Thebes were famed for their skills at weaving. Theban silk was prized above all others during this period, both for its quality and its excellent reputation.

What challenges did african american in the south face after the emancipation proclamation?
erma4kov [3.2K]
There were many problems,

First, although they were technically 'free', there was little work in the war-tattered south, other than the very plantations from which these people were emancipated.

Secondly, they had no money or assets in most cases. Many began on the long migration of poor African Americans from the south to the industrial north, which continued through the 1970s.

The biggest problem, however, was the ongoing discrimination they faced. Jim Crow Laws throughout the south enforced segregation in public places, and most remained in place until the 1960s Civil Rights Movement ultimately resulted in Federal legislation negating most (unconstitutional) segregation laws.

BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

They had a surplus of food, they divided labor and built cities.

After the development of the irrigation systems, they could grow more wheat and that meant more food for the growth of the population.

They divided labor between themselves. Who will harvest crops, who will tend to the irrigation systems, who will tend to fields. They had a lot of other workers such as carpenters or soldiers and that means that they knew how to divide labor between the population.

They started to build cities so they could work together, trade, store food, and the cities grew as more and more people came to live there.
