History

Answer:

Cotton was important to the South because cotton production was integral not only to the Southern economy, but also to overall U.S. economic prosperity in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The cotton economy of the South prolonged slavery as an institution and as a result helped give rise to the American Civil War.

Even after the abolition of slavery, the high labor demands of cotton as a crop gave rise to sharecropping, which made virtual slaves of poor southerners of all races. Indeed, for some the poverty seemed more ruinous than out-and-out slavery had been, indeed some have not escaped to this day.

In what crafts and technical achievements did the inca excel?
Talja [164]

The Inca culture was one of the most developed in pre-Columbian America. Among their achievements, was their architectural ability. Inca structures were made of stone that fit together, with extraordinary stability. The buildings have survived for centuries, with no use of mortar, in areas that are prone to earthquakes and volcanic activity.

The Inca also developed calendars based on astronomical observations. Astronomers understood equinoxes, solstices and zenith passages. Numerical information, particularly for administration, was stored in <em>quipu</em> strings.

In terms of art, Inca ceramics were highly advanced, although most of their silver and gold work was melted down by the Spaniards.  

They were also advanced in medicine, performing skull surgeries successfully and with high survival rates.
