Sometimes people describe China's landscape as being like a staircase with three steps. The top step of this staircase is in the west, where the Himalaya mountains are (India is on the other side of these mountains). CHINESE ANIMALSCHICKENSPEACHESTEAHIMALAYA MOUNTAINSTibet is in this part of China. People call it "the roof of the world." The tops of the mountains have snow even in the summertime. In winter, the whole area is very cold - it can be as cold as -40 Fahrenheit (that's the same in Celsius). But in the summer it can get hot, up to about 100 degrees Fahrenheit (40 degrees Celsius). Panda bears live mostly in the mountains of south-western China. Gobi desert Gobi DesertThen in the middle of China is the second step of the staircase. There are still hills, but they are lower and not snowy anymore. Actually, most of this middle part of China is deserts. The most famous is the Gobi Desert. Some of it is grassland where you can graze cattle (mostly yaks) but you can't farm. Mongolia is in this part of China. Here, too, it gets very cold in the winter and hot in the summer. Yangtze riverYangtze River, ChinaIn Eastern China, nearer to the Pacific Ocean, is the bottom step of the staircase. There are long rivers running all through this part of China, running down to the Pacific Ocean. The two biggest rivers are the Yangtze and the Yellow Rivers. Most of the people of China live around here, where they can get plenty of water for farming. In the northern part, people mostly grow wheat, and in the southern part, they mostly grow rice. In this part of China, which people who live there call the Middle Kingdom, it doesn't get as hot or as cold. But in the spring, when the snow melts in the mountains, these rivers often flood.
Northeastern China has lots of forests and in the forests there are deer and even reindeer, and tigers. In the very southernmost part of China, there's one more kind of climate, which is almost a tropical rainforest or jungle. It's hot and wet there in the summer, and sometimes there are typhoons (tie-FOONS), tropical storms like hurricanes. Even in winter, it never really gets cold. Ginseng, a plant people used for medicine, grows here. There are elephants, wild chickens, leopards, and all sorts of other jungle animals.

As West African slaves came to new places in the Americans, so did their knowledge. They taught many Americans things they did in Africa, such as farming techniques, old tales and myths, and many more. As people exchanged knowledge the traditions started to grow. A significant crop in South Carolina is rice!
Jackson and Tocqueville shared values related to populism and individualism.
<h3>What values were adopted only by Tocqueville?</h3>
Egalitarianism.
Freedom.
Laissez-faire.
As can be seen above, Tocqueville was an advocate of egalitarianism and liberty. This means that he believed that in a society everyone should have the right to freedom and should be seen as equal and worthy of the same right. In this case, we can consider that he would not support slavery in American countries, as he violated the two values he defended all his life.
Tocqueville would believe that slavery was a cruel system that devalued people and caused damage to freedom and social well-being.
The statesmen Roger Sherman (1721-1793) created the Compromise for the Constitution by creating the Connecticut Compromise. The compromise was based on combined proposals from the Virginia plan and the New Jersey plan. He determined the legislative structure and representation of each state under the U.S. Constitution and based the representations in the House of Representatives on population, while each state would have an equal two senators in the Senate.
According to his Great Compromise, there were two national legislatures in Congress, while the members of the House were elected by each state’s population.
