Society before the printing press

Drawing and writings were done thoroughly by hands before the invention of the printing press. For writing scribes were hired in the time era who lived and worked in monasteries. There was a special room that monasteries had called "Scriptorium". Where the scribes work silently, they first do the measuring and outlining the page layouts and after this they carefully copy the text from the books. When the book was completed, then the illuminator take over and add plans, blueprints, drawing, sketch, diagram and then do the decoration onto the pages of the book. Most of the books in the Dark Ages and Middle Ages were religious books which were only owned by the extremely rich and noble families, monasteries, educational institutions. It was Very fortunate that few families owned books and they were a copy of Bibble

Inspiration and invention of the printing press

Around the late 1430s, a German man named Johannes Gutenberg the founder of the movable type printing press was invented.

.

During the years 1300s to 1400s, people had already developed a very basic form of printing by stamping on papers. It involved letters or images cut on blocks of wood. The block would be dipped in ink and then stamped onto paper.

Gutenberg already had his previous experience working at mint, and he realized that if he could use cut blocks of wood within a machine, he could make the printing process very fast.

Gutenberg mind was sharp and business mind and even better, he would be able to reproduce texts in great numbers. However, instead of using the wood blocks, he decided to use the metal instead.

This was known as a "movable type machine," since the metal block letters could be moved around to create new words and sentences.

From all the dates that I have studied It appears to have been invented around 1439 or 1440. Gutenberg's invention was profoundly important for the humans and it launched a revolution in printing.

Johannes Gutenberg’s invention less than 550 years ago of a printing press with movable type made possible the rapid spread of printed news. Gutenberg’s invention spread rapidly.

With this machine, Gutenberg made the very first printed book, which was naturally a reproduction of the Bible. Today the Gutenberg Bible is an incredibly valuable, treasured item for its historical legacy.

By the year 1500, there were printing presses in 60 German towns and 12 other European countries.

Religious Books

The very first book Gutenberg printed with his movable printing press were copies of the Bible. The Gutenberg Bibles were very popular, first 200 copies were being printed and sold even before the copying was complete. There been changes in the text of the Bible time by time and the Bible printed by Gutenberg’s printing machine was based on documents used in the Rhine area of Germany in the 14th and 15th centuries. This newly version of Bible printed by Gutenberg’s became the standard version and the basis for most future Bible texts.

Cost of Books

In early time the cost to make a copy of Bible was highly expensive. Monks wrote on the vellum (treated skins), and one copy of Bible could require 170+ calfskins or 300+ sheepskins.

Printing press made copying easier, cheaper and faster. Like I mentioned before the books at that were only owned by the extremely rich and noble families, monasteries, educational institutions but Gutenberg’s printing press led to higher literacy rates because books were now more widely and cheaply available to those outside of just the upper classes.

Printing press led to higher literacy

One key impacts of the printing press on European society was the spread of ideas.

Production of literature on a vast scale was far more accessible so many theologians, scientists, poets, authors, philosophers etc. could print their theories, philosophy and ideas and spread them far quicker and easier than they had before the printing press was invented.

Printing news was making people more politicized through the reading of newspapers. This change the people mentality and people thoughts because they were being aware of good and bad and it change the popular thought processes , people began to question commonly established theories and views that had been accepted in society for many years.

The printing press was instrumental in the Reformation. The printing press was instrumental in the spread of new medical ideas that helped shape the advanced medicines and practices that we have today.

what did general sherman think should be done with the lands that had come under government control during the war? How did nort

MakcuM [25]

He thought that the freed land should be given to the African-American people who were freed. This was opposed by all sides since the southerners didn't want their land in African-American hands while the Northerners thought that it would be too much and would agitate the southerners.

How does limited government and rule of law prevent tyranny by the government and protect the liberty of the people

Laws give people punishments, so they know that if they go against it that there will be a punishment after. So a lot of people just obey the laws which the government created.

Explain the ways in which the North and South differed during the first half of the 1800's. What were the differences in the eco

Aneli [31]

The North and South were very different in a lot of ways, the economy was different, the people, and the land. These differences continued over time and soon created a gap between the North and the South, where it was hard for them to agree on things or get along.

In the North, they focused on industrialization. There were many factors that contributed to this. The climate in the North was not good for agriculture, it was cold and had rocky soil, so it was hard to grow crops. There was also an abundance of natural resources like iron and coal, which would contribute to industrialization further with the creation of railroads. Railroads made it easier to ship items, people, and resources back and forth, which eventually would make for industries to be the main source of profit, as the items being made were so easy to distribute and many people would take these industry jobs.

In the South, they focused on agriculture. There were many factors that contributed to this as well. The climate in the South was great for agriculture, it was warm and had fertile soil. The South also had a lot of land, as there weren't many cities or towns and people were very spread out. They would focus on growing cash crops such as rice and indigo, later turning to cotton. The South would sell these crops overseas, which was their main source of income. First, they used indentured servants to help out on the plantations, but they realized this was not the most efficient way. This would cause them to turn to slavery, which ended up rapidly increasing since it was earning them a lot of money.

The North did not depend on slavery, as they had industries with people who got paid and were not enslaved. Many people in the North did not agree with slavery and thought it was immoral, but the South thought different. They did not see these slaves as people and relied on them in order to maintain their plantations and earn a profit.
