The ancient Babylonian canals and waterways are the most similar in function to the Suez canal. It is a man-made canal that runs between Africa and the Sinai Penselua. It is primarily used by large shipping companies as a shortcut down the East Coast of Africa from Europe. Ships used to have to go all the way down the West Coast of Africa, around the Horn of Africa to get to Eastern Africa. Manmade canals and waterways are also used in low-lying countries such as the Netherlands to drain the water from the land into the sea.

Give three reforms that took place during the United States’ Republic and why these were important?
Reil [10]

Answer:

 These reform movements sought to promote basic changes in American society, including the abolition of slavery, education reform, prison reform, women's rights, and temperance (opposition to alcohol). 

Explanation:

  • The abolition of slavery was one of the most powerful reform movements. Quakers and many churches in New England saw slavery as an evil that must be abolished from society. They targeted slave owners who profited off of enslaved people's labor. Harriot Tubman, who helped people escape, and Frederick Douglass, a self-educated and forceful orator and writer, proved be powerful speakers. Abolitionists came to the defense of African Americans accused of running from their masters when law officials threatened to return them. Abolitionism was anathema to Southerners and not popular in many areas of the North, but they moved slavery to a central focus in American political life.

  • Alcohol ruined families and bred crime, especially in the growing urban centers of the East. Drinking was sinful, and it was the government's responsibility to remove this temptation, in the view of the temperance advocates. They ran candidates on the Prohibition Party in elections, who were rarely successful, and pressured elected officials to make the manufacture and sale of alcohol illegal

  • Other reforms attracted similar attention, though never to the degree of prohibition and abolition. Some groups advocated for better treatment of the insane and more humane prisons. Advocates for women's rights used tactics similar to the prohibition and abolition movements to demand the right to vote. In fact, many of the same people participated in several reform causes.
