New Harmony is a historic town on the Wabash River in Harmony Township, Posey County, Indiana, United States. It lies 15 miles (24 km) north of Mount Vernon, the county seat. The population was 789 at the 2010 census. It is part of the Evansville metropolitan area.

Established by the Harmony Society in 1814, the town was originally known as Harmony (also called Harmonie, or New Harmony). Bought at two dollars an acre, the 20,000-acre (8,100 ha) settlement was the brainchild of George Rapp and was home exclusively to German Lutherans in its early years.[6] Here, the Harmonists built a new town in the wilderness, but in 1824 they decided to sell their property and return to Pennsylvania.[7] Robert Owen, a Welsh industrialist and social reformer, purchased the town in 1825 with the intention of creating a new utopian community and renamed it New Harmony. While the Owenite social experiment was an economic failure just two years after it began, the community made some important contributions to American society.[8]

What's an example of art typically created during the Han Period?
vovangra [49]
The dynamic Han Dynasty (206 BCE – 220 CE) witnessed a significant revival in Chinese art<span>, compared to the preceding era of </span>Qin Dynasty art<span> (221-206 BCE). </span>Chinese pottery<span> (notably ceramic figurines), jade carving (notably jade suits), silk weaving and </span>Chinese painting<span> (on paper) were three areas of particular achievement. It is believed, for instance, that the earliest examples of </span>Chinese porcelain<span> was produced in the province of Zhejiang during the late Eastern Han (100-200 CE). Founded by Emperor Gaozu, the Han Dynasty divides into two periods: the </span>Western Han<span> (206 BCE – 9 CE), with its capital at Changan (second only to Rome as the largest city in the ancient world), in present-day Shaanxi Province; and the </span>Eastern Han<span> (25–220 CE) whose capital was further east at Luoyang (the headquarters of the ancient Zhou Dynasty), in present-day Henan Province. A progressive period of Chinese history, the Han Dynasty was responsible for numerous technological and scientific achievements, including water clocks, sundials, astronomical instruments, and the development of paper. Ideologically, it was greatly influenced by the ethics and philosophy of </span>Confucianism<span>, although traces of Legalism and Daoism from the earlier Zhou Dynasty remained. Under Emperor Wudi (141–86 BCE), China regained control of lands first conquered by Emperor Qin Shihuang, including parts of southern China and northern Vietnam. In addition, the subdugation of parts of central Asia in Tajikistan and Uzbekistan gave Han emperors control of important trade routes to Europe, and thus outlets for its silks and gold. By 166 CE, a direct link to Rome had been established, resulting in imports of ivory and tortoiseshell.</span>

What were 2 major events that led to increased tensions between Great Britain and the colonies?
Elanso [62]
First of all, (just to clear this up) the conflict and tension between GB and the colonies was a lot more complex than 2 events.  The ones I will name here are important, but take them more as a symbol of the breaking ties of GB and the colonies than the only 2 things that led to the American Revolution (aka take this answer with a grain of salt, it is too simple to be complete).
1)  The Sugar Acts/Stamp Acts/Townsend Acts (1763-66):  Following the French and Indian war (also known as the 7 years war)  Britain had huge amounts of debt from fighting overseas.  Many British were outraged that they had to pay the tax alone, because they believed the colonists were responsible for the war.  So the British government did what it thought was right and taxed the colonists through 3 direct taxes.  These taxes (named above) taxed sugar, paper goods, tea, paper, paint, some metals, and a variety of other things.  Colonists were outraged that they were being directly taxed without representation in the British Government and rebelled by boycotting goods, and harming tax collectors, but one especially good example was the Boston tea party, in which Colonists dumped entire cases of British tea into the Boston Harbor to rebel against taxes.
2) Intolerable acts:  As a result of the Boston Tea Party, Britain created a series of laws aimed at punishing the colonies for their rebellious behaviour.  These were known as the Intolerable acts by colonists and included such things as closing down the Boston Harbor and requiring that the dumped tea be paid for.  This was the last straw for many radical colonists, as they believed that their basic rights had been clearly infringed.  These radicals used ideas from the Enlightenment to justify trying to sever ties with Great Britain.
