Answer:
In 380 CE, the emperor Theodosius issued the Edict of Thessalonica, which made Christianity, specifically Nicene Christianity, the official religion of the Roman Empire. Most other Christian sects were deemed heretical, lost their legal status, and had their properties confiscated by the Roman state.
No other era is as easy to summarize as the EARLY MODERN (1450-1750) era. This is the era the Europeans "wake-up", expand, and build empires. I'm not talking about Charlemagne here. I'm talking about the British Empire. I'm talking about the Dutch East India Trading Company. I'm talking about the Spanish Empire. This is a new Europe. This isn't Marco Polo. These Europeans will come to your land and stay there. They will take over most of the world in this era (if not, in the next). Beyond the Maritime empires (and the effect of their establishment), many huge land empires emerged (most notably the Islamic Mughal and Ottoman Empires. Of course, China is important... It always is. So, here is the Early Modern Period... The above map was created using the geographic references from this era in the AP World History curriculum. Every geographic reference for this unit appears on this map. The interconnection of the Eastern and Western hemispheres made possible by transoceanic voyaging marked a key transformation of this period. Technological innovations helped to make transoceanic connections possible. Changing patterns of long-distance trade included the global circulation of some commodities and the formation of new regional markets and financial centers. Increased trans-regional and global trade networks facilitated the spread of religion and other elements of culture as well as the migration of large numbers of people. Germs carried to the Americas ravaged the indigenous peoples, while the global exchange of crops and animals altered agriculture, diets, and populations around the planet.
I. Existing regional patterns of trade intensified in the context of the new global circulation of goods. A. The intensification of trade brought prosperity and economic disruption to the mercnahts and goverenments in the trading region of the Indian OCean, Mediterranean, the Sahara, and overland Eurasia.
II. European technological developments in cartography and navigation built on previous knowledge developed in the Classical, Islamic, and Asian worlds. A. The developments included the production of new tools, innovations in ship designs, and an improved understanding of global wind and current patterns--all of which made transoceanic travel and trade possible.
It downsized government-run industries. A government-owned company is a lawful substance that attempts business exercises for the benefit of a proprietor government. Their lawful status differs from being a piece of government to stock organizations with a state as a standard stockholder.
The Union's goal entering the Civil War was not to abolish slavery. It was to get the Confederacy to secede and rejoin the Union. With this, the president at the time, Abraham Lincoln was a Free-Soiler, and his election was one of the contributors to the war. After the Mexican-American war, many leading army generals went to the side of the confederacy leaving the Union lacking in terms of military leadership. The abolition of slavery came as an afterthought to punish the confederacy from separating from the Union.
The Confederacy separated from the Union, and with it the centralized government that was holding the country together. This ultimately weakened the Confederacy because there was a lack of leadership, and political unity. This weakened not only their efforts to be their own country, but also their ability to fight during the Civil War. This lack of unity is likely what led to their ultimate loss.
