The play isn't split into episodes or acts originally and I've only read the original Greek. Anyway, she killed herself because she could bear the burden of what she had done. She had slept with her own son, who also murdered her husband/his father. Also, she had given birth to Oedipus' children. So she then realized her children were the product of incest. She killed herself because she loved both her son and husband dearly and could not bear to face the fact that the prophecy turned out to be true. :)

I believe it means back when slavery was around most of the African Americans were in the South and most of them tried to escape but couldn’t. So therefore it’s sayin that since they left and when the civil war ended and all that and when slavery was abolished the South was their home now, and so that’s why today African Americans live mostly in the South.

Why are economies never purely market or command economies?

It has to do with the governments system, whether it is a democratic republic, demo-socialist, communist, etc. This plays huge roles in their economic systems, causing it to vary country to country.
