In colonial America, Africans "contributed" to society by being a source of income for people who bought and sold them into slavery. They also contributed by being laborers in the southern plantations.
Women contributed to the society by being a house wives --meaning they took care of the house-- as well as cooking meals for the family and taking care of the children.
Native Americans, in the earlier days, contributed by trading with settlers and teaching them how to do things in their environment.

The 282 laws are one of the earliest and more complete written legal codes from ancient times. The codes have served as a model for establishing justice in other cultures and are believed to have influenced laws established by Hebrew scribes, including those in the Book of Exodus. The codes were originally carved into a massive monolith of black diorite, eight feet high. Lost for centuries after the fall of Babylon in 1595 BCE, the pillar was rediscovered in ruins of the Elamite city of Susa in 1901.
