History
1 answer:
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.

Which midwestern city experienced a major fire during the late 1800s
goblinko [34]

Chicago is a midwestern city that experienced a major fire during the late 1800s.

The Great Chicago Fire was a blaze that raged in Chicago, Illinois, in the United States, between October 8 and 10, 1871. Over 17,000 buildings and about 3.3 square miles of the city were destroyed by the fire, which also left over 300 people dead and more than 100,000 people homeless.

For many years, a goat that was once ejected from Wrigley Field was to blame for the Cubs' inability to go to the World Series. And for well over a century, the Great Chicago Fire of 1871 was started by a cow owned by Mrs. O'Leary.

The fire raged into the following day before ultimately being brought under control on October 10, when rain provided firefighting efforts a much-needed assist. An estimated 300 persons perished in the Great Chicago Fire, along with 100,000 more.
