"American Civil War Prison Camps were operated by both the Union and the Confederacy to handle the 409,000 soldiers captured during the war, 1861–1865. The Record and Pension Office in 1901 counted 211,000 Northerners who were captured. In 1861-63 most were immediately paroled; after the parole exchange system broke down in 1863, about 195,000 went to prison camps. Some tried to escape but few succeeded"

JulijaS [17]

Answer:

During the 1920s there was a lot of new and exciting things happening. There was more freedom for youth and females with the flappers and youth culture. Females worked, wore makeup, danced in jazz clubs, lived on their own, smoked, and dressed more provocatively. Youth played sports, participated in extracurricular activities, joined sororities and frats, went to dances and parties, and experimented with dating and sexuality. There was many advances in technology, innovations, and inventions for example, radio, sports, movies with sound, automobiles, electricity, vacuum cleaners, irons, washing machines, refrigerators, indoor plumbing, and assembly lines. Radio, sports, and movies with sound gave people new sources of entertainment. Appliances like vacuum cleaners, irons, washing machines, and refrigerators helped housewives. Electricity and assembly lines helped factories to make more products in less time. There was an increase in productivity, consumerism, life expectancy, income, city population, and funding. After the war, foreign governments owed the U.S. billions of dollars. There was more funding for hospitals, medical research, libraries, and schools. The average income rose by 11%, people had more money to buy consumer goods and to move from country to city. It wasn't all sunshine and rainbows though. Many people had negative reactions to these changes, especially people in small. rural towns, white protestants, and christian fundamentalists. There was a rebirth of the Ku Klux Klan, who discriminated against catholics, jews, immigrants, and POC. There was an alcohol prohibition, which lead to an intended 30% drop in alcohol consumption but, an unintended increase in organized crime rates.

Answer: Is down below

Explanation:

The Dark Ages ●Was the period between 400 AD and 1400 AD a “Dark Age” for Europe? ●Was this a time of cultural decay and decline? The American Cyclopedia “The Dark Ages is a term applied in its widest sense to that period of intellectual depression in the history of Europe from the establishment of the barbarian supremacy in the fifth century (400 AD) to the revival of learning at about the beginning of the fifteenth (1400 AD), thus nearly corresponding in extent with the Middle Ages.” Textbook A 1.What type of document is this? A textbook excerpt. 2.When was it written? Was written in 1965. 3.How long does this textbook suggest the “Dark Ages” lasted? 624 years. 476 to 1100. 4.Why, according to this textbook, were the “early Middle Ages” a “Dark Age”? Europe suffered a decline in economy, literature, art, culture, education. When barbarians invaded there was disorder, chaos, travel was not safe. Government could not keep order. There was violence, theft, decline in manufacturing, commerce, education. Government lost control and it all fell to pieces. A poverty stricken time. 5.What is similar and different about this account and the American Cyclopaedia entry? Similar: see the dark ages as a negative time for Europe. Agree that it is an adequate name for this time period. Use the ‘barbarism’ term. Textbook says it was ‘semi’ whereas the cyclopedia said it was ‘supreme’ barbarism. Mention a decline in education. Differences: time period, one only mentions intellectual depression, the other talks about
