B. its flying buttresses. Builders employed the first true flying buttresses (during the 1180s) to increase the window size and secure the soaring 115-foot-high vault. The flying buttress, an arched, skeletal exterior support, counters the lateral thrust of the nave vault and transfers its weight outward, over the side aisles (where it is resolved into and supported by a vertical external buttress, rising from the ground).

The Notre Dame Cathedral (France) is the official seat of the Archbishop of Paris. Its architecture is one of the first examples of the use of flying buttresses, and the cathedral features numerous statues and stained glass windows. The original flying buttresses represented a structural innovation that would become central to the future development of Gothic architecture.

How did discrimination against Africa Americans in the North differ from discrimination in the south?

LiRa [457]

Answer:

Northern states were more against slavery while the south was more pro-slavery because they felt that they needed slaves to, manage farms and plantations growing indigo, rice and tobacco. The south was very dependent on plantations and slaves while the north was dependent on factories. Later in history the 13th amendment was passed, this was supposed to officially end slavery, to get around this people in the south created "Black Codes" or "Jim Crow Laws" which were made to limit African American freedom. Discrimination still occurred in northern states but was less harsh than it was in the south. This is partially due to the black minority in northern states. I really hope this helps...
