<span>Prior to the conclusion of the Seven Years War there was little, if any, reason to believe that one day the American colonies would undertake a revolution in an effort to create an independent nation-state. As apart of the empire the colonies were protected from foreign invasion by the British military. In return, the colonists paid relatively few taxes and could engage in domestic economic activity without much interference from the British government. For the most part the colonists were only asked to adhere to regulations concerning foreign trade. In a series of acts passed by Parliament during the seventeenth century the Navigation Acts required that all trade within the empire be conducted on ships which were constructed, owned and largely manned by British citizens. Certain enumerated goods whether exported or imported by the colonies had to be shipped through England regardless of the final port of destination.</span>
Answer:
Egypt was considered isolated because the civilization was only centered along the Nile, and had geographical features that cut it off from the rest of the world.

To the north, the Mediterranean Sea allowed communication with Anatolia and Greece, but only by sea, not by land.
To the west, the Sahara desert was a buffer with several nomadic and semi-nomadic tribes. To the East, the Sinai desert and peninsula made communications harder with Palestine, and Mesopotamia, and to the South, the Desert of Sudan made communications hard with Nubia and Ethiopia.
The benefit was a lower probability of conflict or invasion from other tribes, but it also had a drawback and was lesser trade and integration.
Answer:
Reconstruction was the period between the end of the Civil War in 1865 and 1877, when the Democrats returned to power in the southern states. During this period, Republicans tried to guarantee a whole series of civil and political rights to African Americans, such as citizenship, the right to vote, and social equality against whites.
But when Reconstruction ended, all the advances in this regard were put aside by the Democrats, who established a segregation system based on the Jim Crow Laws, which, although they guaranteed African Americans certain rights (since they were established in the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments to the Constitution), made them inaccessible and of much lower quality than those of the whites. In addition, a series of mechanisms of institutional violence were established, such as the Klu Klux Klan, through which African Americans were even more limited in their rights.
