<span><span>Answer: Into many kingdoms.
</span>The Germanic peoples
settled in the zones of the old Roman Empire in the West, being born
kingdoms where the Germans sought to separate like an elite, and
separated of the population; but the Visigoths and Franks,
more peaceful and stable, mingled with the population in religious,
legislative and social aspects, coming to have Latin as the basis of
their new languages. The difference between the Germanic
peoples and the Roman Empire, in terms of their cultures, was very
great, but from this contact, the Germans adopted many Roman customs,
including their ways of organizing themselves politically; along with the old Germanic traditions. This mixture of cultures was the social and cultural basis of medieval Europe, and the basis of modern Western civilization.</span>
<span>Despite being freed from slavery about 80 years before the end of World War II, African-Americans were still treated - often at best - as second class citizens in the southern states and discrimination was common in varying forms almost everywhere in the south (and, to a measure, in the northern states as well). While social change for African-Americans and other minorities came along rather slowly, it did eventually come (at least in part). President Truman famously - and quite forcefully and progressively for the time in the late 1940s - noted that "if the United States were to offer the peoples of the world a choice of freedom or enslavement it must correct the remaining imperfections in our practice of democracy." Beginning in the early 1950s states in both the north and the south established fair employment commissions, passed laws banning discrimination, and minority voter registrations began to rise throughout the country. In 1954, the Supreme Court case of Brown v. Board of Education paved the way for desegregation in all public schools. In the mid 1960s, President Johnson not only disliked injustice, he understood the international repercussions that came along with America’s perceived hypocrisy. In turn, he helped to pass The Civil Rights Act of 1964 that banned all forms of discrimination in public and a majority of private accommodations.</span>
The key waterways in the south during the civil war were: Mississippi,Ohio and Tennessee rivers
Both side aware that controlling these rivers would cut down oppositions food and weaponry supplies along with limiting the opposition's ability to mobilize. The union army managed to leverage on this situation better than the Confederates, leading to the union's victory during the civil war.
Correct answer: method or methods
"Touch typing" means to use a typewriter keyboard (or today, computer keyboard) without looking at the keys. The typist has a "touch" or "feel" for where all the keys are and can type more quickly by not needing visual confirmation of the keys they are striking as they type. I'm touch typing as I write this answer by the way -- I had a very good (and very fussy) keyboard instructor back in high school who drilled us over and over again in learning our keystrokes.
The practice of touch typing is sometimes credited to Frank Edward McGurrin, who was a court stenographer in Salt Lake City, Utah, and also taught typing classes. He won a typing contest held in Cincinnati in 1888 using his method. He developed his method while serving as a law office clerk in Grand Rapids, Michigan. He said of those early days of his career: "Before the end of the year 1878 I could write upwards of 90 words a minute in new matter without looking at the keyboard."
