These atoms will decay as the rock ages, and by measuring the ratio of radioactive isotopes within the rock, scientists can figure out how long it has been around. In 1913, geologist Arthur Holmes published “the Age of the Earth,” the first major effort to date the planet using radiometric dating.
It was controlled by the Roman Empire, and only Roman citizens were allowed to fish or swim in it. Hope that helps!

So when the Civil War broke out the North already had the means of production and the production capacity to make arms and supplies for their troops as well as deliver the supplies to the troops in a speedy manner via the North's extensive railways.
