History

olga_2 [115]3 years ago
5 0

The North Eastern United States was rapidly being industrialized. There were a growing number of cotton mills, manufactering, banking etc.

However, the Southern States, also known as the Bible Belt was mainly dependent on agriculture. The local people were farmers and landowners who relied on the land and their lifestock for an income.

They were able to make large profits by using slave labor which was far cheaper than hiring regular labor.

The eradication of the slave trade was seen by them as an attack on their livlihood.

Religion permeated every aspect of Aztec life, no matter what one's station, from the highest-born emperor to the lowliest slave. The Aztecs worshipped hundreds of deities and honored them all in a variety of rituals and ceremonies, some featuring human sacrifice.

How is the Electoral College a form of indirect democracy?
Snezhnost [94]
The electoral college was formed for the people to vote, so I would say that it is a form of indirect democracy, because the people make the decision by voting but they do not make their decision directly.

What inference can we make from Oedipus’s following line: “This polluting stain I will remove, not for some distant friend, but
Margaret [11]

The correct answer is Oedipus makes decisions based on the will of the gods.

Indeed, at this point in the plot, the Kingdom of Thebes has fallen to some kind of plague that pollutes the people and the fields, causing starvation. He has a prophet consult the Oracle of Apollo to see what can be done and the prophet comes back with an injunction, not a prophecy to find Laius’ killer.

Of course, Oedipus states that “finding Lauis’ murderer is self-serving” but in the sense that he is one with his people and that his people’s welfare is his own. The only unambiguous choice is that Oedipus makes decisions not based on scientific or criminal research but on his religious beliefs and these command that the will of the gods be obeyed at all times.
