Sparta had a highly unusual system of government.
Two kings ruled the city, but a 28-member 'council of elders' limited their powers.
These men were recruited from the highest social class, the aristocratic Spartiates. Rather like medieval knights, the Spartiates were a class of military professionals who lived most of their lives in communal barracks. Rarely seeing their wives and children, their lands were farmed by slaves, leaving them free to pursue to the arts of war.
Beneath this highest class was a middle class, called the Perioeci. Made up of a farmers and artisans who were the descendants of those peoples whom the Spartans had first conquered, the Perioeci paid taxes and could serve in the army, but had no real political rights.
At the bottom were the helots: a slave class descended from those peoples who had resisted subjugation by Sparta. Because the helots were constantly rebelling, the Spartans attempted to control them by forming a secret society that annually murdered any helot suspected of encouraging subversion.
C. The federal government refused to lend any assistance to the South
This was untrue because the federal government shelled out a lot of money to help the South with Reconstruction.
Answer:
Cortes admired about Tenochtitlan because of its farming technique, architecture, and water supply.
Explanation:
Cortes considered Aztec people as barbarians but, at the same time, he found qualities that impressed him. Technological advances, knowledge, and independence were some of the qualities that Aztec people possessed. Tenochtitlan was the capital city and centre of the Aztec Empire. The capital founded in 1325 and served as the centre. It was created on a swampy island in Lake Texcoco with palaces, pyramids, and storehouses to conserve food for a longer period. The Aztecs build channels, canals, and responsible for the construction of a hydroponic. They also created a new way to create farmland, called chinampas.
Answer:
- The South would destroy the nation, but the North had to fight for the nation to survive.
Explanation:
The 16th U.S. president Abraham Lincoln's second inaugural address in 1865 primarily aims to recapitulate the cause of war and the destruction brought by it was the consequence of 'divine retribution' towards pursuing a sin like slavery.
In the given quotation, he expresses the idea of 'South bringing destruction to the nation' as they not only possessed slavery but rather showed a retribution towards it which was the key cause of Civil War and now, the North had been fighting for the survival of the nation from this war.' Thus, he concludes by hoping to 'strive to..bind up these wounds.'
