slava [35]3 years ago
3 0

The money and goods involved in a marriage are called <u>dowry</u>. The basic purpose of a dowry has been to bring some protection for the wife against violence and abuse by her husband and his family. Also, the dowry may serve to help the new couple to establish a home. This was more common in societies where the marriage of very young people has been arranged. Also, a dowry provides the wife with the resources in case of her man's death.

In the Middle Ages, the dowry had the function to enhance the value of a woman for marriage and increase power and wealth of great families. Dowries virtually disappeared in Europe in the XIX and XX century.

yulyashka [42]
True I think, but in terms of life? False. Europeans, however, unlike the Chinese, sought to build vast empires all across the world, even in the new world, that's why most of human history is European exploration, and wars, and the like.

What factors led to economic changes in the north
weeeeeb [17]

Answer: The North was an industrial giant.

Explanation:

The industrial revolution that engulfed the United States was mainly reflected in the North of the country. Therefore, in the twentieth century, the country will be one of the most significant industrial factors in the world. In the North, there were substantial banks, compared to the south, a total of 13% of banks were stationed. The North was developing rapidly thanks to the Industrial Revolution. In the North, an excellent rail network was built, so that the flow of goods and people flowed significantly faster.

The North was well on its way to a commercial and productive economy, which would have a direct impact on its wartime capability. By 1860, 90 percent of national manufacturing output came from northern states. Even in an agricultural sense, the North was more super-ironical. While traditional agricultural production continued to be nurtured in the south, mechanization was mainly in use in the North. All of these factors are also very important to the result of the American Civil War.
