Answer:

There is an assumption that the origins of gladiator games should be sought in Crete, where around 1500 BC games in the form of bullfights occurred. Other researchers believe that this custom is borrowed from the Etruscans, who performed human sacrifices during the funeral feast.

In gladiatorial schools, physically strong and hardy slaves with a violent and rebellious character, as well as strong war prisoners were selected. Among the gladiators, there were also free Roman citizens - hired people who voluntarily chose this way. Moreover, by 70 AD, about 80% of the gladiators were free civilian mercenaries (served under the contract). Often very noble and wealthy patricians, eager for fame and recognition, became gladiators.

Roman gladiators were true ‘idols,’ surrounded by crowds of fans; Hercules was considered their patron; they were invited to the villas of the noble patricians for the time of dinner parties. Moreover, they served as the reliable personal bodyguards of wealthy patricians.

However, the attitude towards them in society was ambiguous. On the one hand, a person who became a gladiator lost his civil dignity (no matter how rich he was), he was denied access to the senatorial estates, he could not act in court as a defender or witness, etc. On the other hand, the gladiators were admired; poets dedicated their works to them; their sculptures were placed in villas and palaces.

List five significant transformations the u.s. underwent during the period from 1800 to 1845.
nataly862011 [7]

First, the Market Revolution—the shift from an agricultural economy to one based on wages and the exchange of goods and services—completely changed the northern and western economy between 1820 and 1860. After Eli Whitney invented the cotton gin and perfected manufacturing with interchangeable parts, the North experienced a manufacturing boom that continued well into the next century. Cyrus McCormick’s mechanical mower-reaper also revolutionized grain production in the West. Internal improvements such as the Erie Canal and the Cumberland Road, combined with new modes of transportation such as the steamboat and railroad, allowed goods and crops to flow easily and cheaply between the agricultural West and manufacturing North. The growth of manufacturing also spawned the wage labor system.

Second, American society urbanized drastically during this era. The United States had been a land comprised almost entirely of farmers, but around 1820, millions of people began to move to the cities. They, along with several million Irish and German immigrants, flooded northern cities to find jobs in the new industrial economy. The advent of the wage labor system played a large role in transforming the social fabric because it gave birth to America’s first middle class. Comprised mostly of white-collar workers and skilled laborers, this growing middle class became the driving force behind a variety of reform movements. Among these were movements to reduce consumption of alcohol, eliminate prostitution, improve prisons and insane asylums, improve education, and ban slavery. Religious revivalism, resulting from the Second Great Awakening, also had a large impact on American life in all parts of the country.

Third, the major political struggles during the antebellum period focused on states’ rights. Southern states were dominated by “states’ righters”—those who believed that the individual states should have the final say in matters of interpreting the Constitution. Inspired by the old Democratic-Republicans, John C. Calhoun argued in his “South Carolina Exposition and Protest” essay that the states had the right to nullify laws that they deemed unconstitutional because the states themselves had created the Constitution. Others, such as President Andrew Jackson and Chief Justice John Marshall, believed that the federal government had authority over the states. The debate came to a head in the Nullification Crisis of 1832–1833, which nearly touched off a civil war.

1) why is the territory containing Rome called the papal states ?
Bogdan [553]
PBecause once upon a time.........it was the POPE who controlled a large swath of power......like a KING, which included large territories. But over the years, and power shifts later........the Pope became less and less important, and more or less became boxed in, within Vatican City.......his last seat of Power. When Italy became a Unified Country..............they had to arrange a special deal with the POPE that left him in charge of his little area........a King, of sorts, within the Kings Kingdom. So they declared his little Popedom.......seperate , and allowed him to keep his little seat of Power.
