The Ancient Mayans are an indigenous group of Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras that flourished between 300 and 900 AD.

Some important achievements of the Mayans were:

1. Calendars: The Mayans developed two calendars that were as precise as the calendars we use today. They used astrological cycles to organize their planting and harvesting. They were also able to predict solar eclipses.

2. Advanced numeral system: The system the Mayans developed had three symbols: zero, one and five. It was a vigesimal number system, which makes it similar to the system we use now (decimal). It allowed them to represent very large numbers.

3. Zero: The concept of zero was developed independently with the Hindus of India and the Mayans, who developed it by the 4th century AD. In comparison, it was not until the 13th century AD that the decimal system of the Arabs and the zero of the Hindus arrived in Europe, and it took three more centuries for it to be fully comprehended and used extensively.

Elena L [17]

Answer:

February 1, 1861 – Meeting in Austin, a special convention passes the Texas Ordinance of Secession.  Within the month, Texas voters ratify the ordinance in a special election.

February 16, 1861 – General David E. Twiggs, commander of federal forces in Texas, surrenders the federal arsenal in San Antonio to secessionist volunteers led by the famed Texas Ranger Ben McCulloch, along with all additional army posts and property in Texas. Twiggs orders all 3000 Army troops stationed in Texas – mostly in defense of the Indian frontier – to march to the coast to be evacuated.

April 6-7, 1862 – Battle of Shiloh in Tennessee is first of the massive land battles of the Civil War. The 20,000 killed and wounded exceed the American casualties from the American Revolution, the War of 1812, and the Mexican War combined. Among the dead is Confederate commander Albert Sidney Johnston, famed veteran of the Texas army.

October 1862 – Fifty-three suspected Unionists are murdered by mob violence in North Texas in a series of incidents that becomes known as “The Great Hanging at Gainesville.”

January 1, 1863 – Under the command of General John B. Magruder, newly appointed Confederate commander of Texas, Confederate forces launch a surprise attack on Galveston and regain control of the city.
