Well it had more to do with geographic wonders. Rivers in the area meant fertile soil and reliable water sources. This encouraged people to settle in Mesopotamia and eventually start city-states.

I would almost agree with the previous statement, but here is a bit more information about it: Mesopotamia or "Land between two rivers" had a reputation for random and harsh flooding. They weren't as predictable as the Nile's seasonal floods, so the lack of knowing and the destruction cause but the Tigris and Euphrates rivers caused the people living within the land to have a YOLO view on life. They did have fertile land, however, because of the flooding. With this land came the cultivation of many cereal grains (From the grains came beer and bread which was often times used as, surprisingly, currency). The Mesopotamian culture, remember, was one of the first civilizations who adopted agriculture. From the Agriculture encouraged the growth of the population and development of cities. Anyway, food thrived with the great land and trade became a big thing, especially with the rivers to help trade with other lands around them. Other lands looked in and said to themselves "Hey! they have cool cookies! Let's attack them so we can become rich!" (That's not a direct quote btw) Mesopotamia became a land whose history was often filled with warfare...a lot of it. (It was basically a change in the leader who won the battle and what they named the territory most of the time) This factor, along with the flooding factor, caused a significant difference between their view on the afterlife versus the neighboring Egyptian land.  Early civilizations are SO cool! You should consider taking AP World History sometime.

9966 [12]

Answer:

There were relatively few slaves or large plantations in these regions

Explanation:

The Civil War in the United States began in 1861, after decades of simmering tensions between northern and southern states over slavery, states’ rights and westward expansion.

Growing abolitionist sentiment in the North after the 1830s and northern opposition to slavery’s extension into the new western territories led many southerners to fear that the existence of slavery in America and thus the backbone of their economy was in danger.

On September 17, the Army of the Potomac hit Lee’s forces (reinforced by Jackson’s) in what became the war’s bloodiest single day of fighting. Total casualties at the Battle of Antietam (also known as the Battle of Sharpsburg) numbered 12,410 of some 69,000 troops on the Union side, and 13,724 of around 52,000 for the Confederates.
