International trade, they are one of the biggest trade countries in the world so that makes sense:)
That depends which "Protestant ministers" you would have in mind. Protestantism has wide disparities within its ranks, and not all were on the same page. In the 19th century, most churches still stood against women's equality. But movements toward women's suffrage included many Protestant women, and beginning in the late 19th century liberal Protestantism was more likely to be in support of such movements. However, there remained (and still remain) many very conservative and traditional Protestant churches that are averse to giving women an equal role with men, basing their views on interpretations of Bible verses about men and women. They've tended to acknowledge women voting in political society as a reality, but keep women in a secondary place within the church's organization.
Catholic leaders in the 19th century maintained that women's suffrage was "an affront to divine law and the natural order and a threat to family and society," according to Susan Hill Lindley in the book, <em>You Have Stepped Out of Your Place: A History of Women and Religion in America </em>(1996).
Plantation owners were heavily reliant of slaves, so yes it’s true
Neolithic revolution is called the first radical transformation of the way of life of humanity, which goes from being nomadic to sedentary and having a collecting economy (hunting, fishing and gathering) to producer (agriculture and livestock).
This process took place more than 9000 years ago (VIII millennium BC) in response to the climate crisis that occurred at the beginning of the Holocene, after the last glaciation and which, in terms related to the history of culture, corresponds to the passage of the Paleolithic period (carved stone) to the Neolithic (new stone) and hence its name. In the first place, it affected the wide area that, due to its appearance on the map, has received the name of fertile crescent or fertile crescent. It includes from the Egyptian part of the valley of the Nile to Mesopotamia (the territory between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers), passing through the coastal strip of the Mediterranean Levante and the mountainous region of southeastern Turkey. Within it, the places where the oldest archaeological evidence of neolithization has been found, that is, the substitution of the stone carved by the polished stone for making weapons and tools, do not come precisely from the alluvial plains of the great rivers, but of deposits located in a narrower area around them (Jericho or Chatal Huyuk). This is not strange, since in the alluvial plains of the Nile, the Tigris and Euphrates, the stone is scarcer.
