The railroad route followed the Oregon, Mormon and California Trails. The new line was added and connected Omaha and Nebraska; followed the Platte River; crossed the Rocky Mountains at South Pass in Wyoming; and through northern Utah and Nevada before crossing the Sierras to Sacramento, California. Additional route connected Denver, Colorado and Salt Lake City, Utah and other cities not directly on the route. The Central Pacific laid 690 miles (1,110 km) of track, starting in Sacramento, and the Union Pacific laid 1,087 miles (1,749 km) of track, starting in Omaha. The two lines connected at Promontory Summit, Utah. (Impact) This route was chosen over the route in the southern part of the country because it was less mountainous.

Some pros of the Erie canal include:

Made harbor most important in America

Allows migration to other places

Inspired a transportation revolution

Cons:

Very expensive, dangerous and ugly work

Did not create a canal revolution that was predicted by Clinton

Isolated the south because now the north could rely on the easier to trade NW

Achievements of Alaric
laila [671]

Answer:

Explanation:

As additional forces came to Alaric’s side, Emperor Honorius did little to help the city and oppose Alaric. The Goths were still viewed as barbarians and no match for the armies of the empire. Although the treasury was virtually empty, the Senate finally succumbed, and wagons left the city carrying two tons of gold, 13 tons of silver, 4,000 silk tunics, 3,000 fleeces, and 3,000 pounds of pepper. Alaric eased the siege, still hoping to negotiate terms, but Honorius remained blind to the seriousness of the situation. While temporarily agreeing to Alaric’s demands - something he never intended to honor - 6,000 Roman soldiers were sent to the city but were quickly defeated by Alaric’s brother-in-law Athaulf.

Ancient Egypt essay. Put a lot of information below about ancient Egypt.
Semenov [28]
For almost 30 centuries—from its unification around 3100 B.C. to its conquest by Alexander the Great in 332 B.C.—ancient Egypt was the preeminent civilization in the Mediterranean world. From the great pyramids of the Old Kingdom through the military conquests of the New Kingdom, Egypt’s majesty has long entranced archaeologists and historians and created a vibrant field of study all its own: Egyptology. The main sources of information about ancient Egypt are the many monuments, objects and artifacts that have been recovered from archaeological sites, covered with hieroglyphs that have only recently been deciphered. The picture that emerges is of a culture with few equals in the beauty of its art, the accomplishment of its architecture or the richness of its religious traditions.


Predynastic Period (c. 5000-3100 B.C.)
Few written records or artifacts have been found from the Predynastic Period, which encompassed at least 2,000 years of gradual development of the Egyptian civilization.

Neolithic (late Stone Age) communities in northeastern Africa exchanged hunting for agriculture and made early advances that paved the way for the later development of Egyptian arts and crafts, technology, politics and religion (including a great reverence for the dead and possibly a belief in life after death).
Around 3400 B.C., two separate kingdoms were established near the Fertile Crescent, an area home to some of the world’s oldest civilizations: the Red Land to the north, based in the Nile River Delta and extending along the Nile perhaps to Atfih; and the White Land in the south, stretching from Atfih to Gebel es-Silsila. A southern king, Scorpion, made the first attempts to conquer the northern kingdom around 3200 B.C. A century later, King Menes would subdue the north and unify the country, becoming the first king of the first dynasty.

In the Archaic Period, as in all other periods, most ancient Egyptians were farmers living in small villages, and agriculture (largely wheat and barley) formed the economic base of the Egyptian state. The annual flooding of the great Nile River provided the necessary irrigation and fertilization each year; farmers sowed the wheat after the flooding receded and harvested it before the season of high temperatures and drought returned.

Why did clergy in the eastern and western empire interpret the bible differently.
nekit [7.7K]

Answer: They spoke different languages.

Explanation:

The language differences of the Latin speaking Western and Greek speaking Eastern Roman empire led to them interpreting the Bible differently as some phrases were translated differently in one language as opposed to another.

This difference contributed to a gradual division between the two churches which culminated with the Great Schism of 1054AD where the Catholic Church and Eastern Orthodox Churches were formally split.
