Alexander the Great was famous for his military power and is a legendary figure in history.
Much of what we know about Alexander the Great is unreliable and steeped in myth; a lot of these mythologies were used by Alexander’s successors.
In the Kingdom of Thrace, during the reign of Lysimachus—a successor of Alexander the Great who lived from 361 BCE to 281 BCE—an interesting coin was issued. This coin, which featured the head of Alexander the Great with ram’s horns on either side of his crown, was issued in the ancient city of Parium, in the northwestern region of modern-day Turkey. The horns were the symbol of the Egyptian god Amun—or Zeus, who is often conflated with Amun—from whom Alexander claimed descent. Flanked with these godlike horns, Alexander attained the status of a deity.

Surprisingly, Alexander himself did not issue coins with his own image; his successors did. Why would his successors refer back to their deceased predecessor as they established new empires? The reason is that Alexander the Great was—and still is—a powerful symbol of power, military genius, and conquest, whether or not this description of him is historically accurate. His image, name, and legendary power remained resonant—and politically visible—long after his death.
Plant populations change over time by growing in size and diversity. They generally are the first part of an ecosystem after lichens (the pioneer species) and cause an ecosystem to flourish and allow for animals to move in. I don't know if this is the answer you were looking for but it should give you somewhat of a base.
Hi. I am not sure if there's more information about your post but I went ahead and research for more similar posts so I can better provide an answer. If you are referring to the passage from Chapter CXLVIII where it talks about the Indian Removal Act, here are my answers:
The research question that this document could help me answer would be:
Why did the United States government want to relocate the native Americans from their lands?
The document could help answer my question because it explains to why they are going to relocate the Natives. Here's the actual document that I found:
An Act to provide for an exchange of lands with the Indians residing in any of the states or territories, and for their removal west of the river Mississippi.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America, in Congress assembled, That is shall and may be lawful for the President of the United States to cause so much of any territory belonging to the United States, west of the river Mississippi, not included in any sate or organized territory and to which the Indian title has been extinguished, as he may judge necessary, to be divided into a suitable number of districts for the reception of such tribes or nations of Indians as may choose to exchange the lands where they now reside, and remove there; and to cause each of said districts to be so described by natural or artificial marks, as the easily distinguished from every other...
It led to the Boston massacre on March 5th 1770.
WE needed some supplies. Also' we produced so much that it was going to waist more than anyone could consume it. Thats when we started to get involved becuase we needed things so we traded with each other for goods.
