Answer:

D. St Louis

Explanation:

St. Louis became a commercial giant. It was an important trade center, a supply point for the Mississippi. Because of the Rapids north of the city, St. Louis was the northernmost navigable port for many large boats.

St. Louis was transformed into a bustling boom town, commercial center, and inland port. More than 150 steamboats could be seen in St. Louis land at one time in the 1830s.

Lots of Immigrants especially from Germany flooded into St. Louis after 1840. During the period of Reconstruction, rural Southern blacks also came into St. Louis as well, seeking for greener pastures. St Louis grew to become a large commercial US city in the 1850s.

what is the most important reason the code of hammurabi has had lasting influence on history and the present day?
lys-0071 [83]

Answer: The Code of Hammurabi is a set of laws created in Mesopotamia around the 18th century BC by King Hammurabi of the first Babylonian dynasty.

The code is based on the talon law, "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth." It was printed on a block of rock using cuneiform writing.

The laws provided punishments for non-compliance with rules established in various areas such as family relations, commerce, construction, agriculture, livestock. The punishments occurred according to the position that the criminal person held in the social hierarchy.

Nowadays most of people do not have this idea to repay the same suffering that was caused, the idea of punishments according to hierarchy. It was an idea from the past, for people that lived in a different society, with a different structure as well.
