The Mayas were a Mesoamerican civilization that was established in the Yucatán Peninsula, on what is today southern Mexico, parts of El Salvador, Belize and Honduras and Guatemala. This ancient civilization has been recognized for its incredible advancement in architecture and for how organized and advanced they were as a civilization as a whole. This empire initiated rougly around the year 2000 BC. Among other things, Mayans were great believers in their gods and they built enormous, and now famous, pyramid-temples in honor of these gods. One such god was the serpent god Quetzalcoatl and another example was the pyramid for the god of rain, Chak. Also, the Mayans were known for their social and political organization and structure. Until the 900, the Mayans were being governed by several kings and rulers, each of a region of the vast empire. One of the last ones in record was K´ak´ Tiliw Chan Yopaat, before the decline of the Mayan Empire. It is not certain why the Mayans declined. There are many research studies on the subject. Some scientists believe that it might have been a drought that depleted the region of resources and water, some that it was disease and some overpopulation within the empire. Some also mention corruption and disorder. This happened around the 9th century A.D.

please write at least four sentences describing how the French Revolution was affected by the American Revolution
Verizon [17]

Americans and French had a few problems in common by the late 18th century. Both societies were very unequal, were unhappy with their respective taxation systems, and also with the Monarchy.

They also had in common a extended knowledge and appreciation of the Enlightenment philosophy. Then recent works on politics and economy were the basis for both movements.

The French used the American Declaration of Independence as a model for their <em>Déclaration des droits de l'homme et du citoyen de 1789</em> (Declaration of the Rights of Man and the Citizen in 1789). They had observed closely the American revolution, since they supported it directly, and its possible that the American success proved it was possible to rebel and to win.

American independence and government also showed it was possible to build a new society based on Enlightenment ideals.

notsponge [240]

Answer:

While archaeologists have uncovered useful information about the past, most of what goes into a textbook like this one comes from the work of historians.

How did slavery affect Southern industrialism?
adoni [48]

It was the main activity of the Southern economy and thwarted industrialization.

Explanation:

Before the Civil War, the North tended to have an economy that was increasingly industrial, it was not the case in the South. The economy in the South was much more based on agriculture, and it was thus much more rural(it had only three major cities, New Orleans, Vicksburgh and Atlanta) as well as the capital of the Confederacy Richmond Virginia.

On the eve of the Civil War, the South had 4 million slaves(the population was roughly 9 million people. Most white people did not own slaves(those who were slave owners had less than 10 slaves generally) and were poor farmers working on the lands left over by the planters. 80 % of the industries were in the North which explains why the South eventually lost the war.

The Civil War ravaged the South, nevertheless it made possible its industrialization by destroying the institution of slavery and the aristocracy which thrived on it. The exportation of cotton had brought great wealth to the south, but the wealth had been unevenly distributed.
