For almost 30 centuries—from its unification around 3100 B.C. to its conquest by Alexander the Great in 332 B.C.—ancient Egypt was the preeminent civilization in the Mediterranean world. From the great pyramids of the Old Kingdom through the military conquests of the New Kingdom, Egypt’s majesty has long entranced archaeologists and historians and created a vibrant field of study all its own: Egyptology. The main sources of information about ancient Egypt are the many monuments, objects and artifacts that have been recovered from archaeological sites, covered with hieroglyphs that have only recently been deciphered. The picture that emerges is of a culture with few equals in the beauty of its art, the accomplishment of its architecture or the richness of its religious traditions.
Predynastic Period (c. 5000-3100 B.C.)
Few written records or artifacts have been found from the Predynastic Period, which encompassed at least 2,000 years of gradual development of the Egyptian civilization.
Neolithic (late Stone Age) communities in northeastern Africa exchanged hunting for agriculture and made early advances that paved the way for the later development of Egyptian arts and crafts, technology, politics and religion (including a great reverence for the dead and possibly a belief in life after death).
Around 3400 B.C., two separate kingdoms were established near the Fertile Crescent, an area home to some of the world’s oldest civilizations: the Red Land to the north, based in the Nile River Delta and extending along the Nile perhaps to Atfih; and the White Land in the south, stretching from Atfih to Gebel es-Silsila. A southern king, Scorpion, made the first attempts to conquer the northern kingdom around 3200 B.C. A century later, King Menes would subdue the north and unify the country, becoming the first king of the first dynasty.
In the Archaic Period, as in all other periods, most ancient Egyptians were farmers living in small villages, and agriculture (largely wheat and barley) formed the economic base of the Egyptian state. The annual flooding of the great Nile River provided the necessary irrigation and fertilization each year; farmers sowed the wheat after the flooding receded and harvested it before the season of high temperatures and drought returned.
Answer:
The Civil War era was a period of great economic, political, and social upheaval in American history. ... Along with their decreasing industrial base, Southerners found it hard to mobilize their resources in an economy where slave labor was outlawed.
The country was a nation divided, due to the differences between the North and the South's political statuses. The North was a financial and industrial mecca, whereas the South had an agricultural economy based on the institution of slavery. Because Southern plantation owners feared that the powerful North would put an end to slavery, political leaders did what they could to ease the sectional conflict. For instance, they passed laws like the Missouri Compromise of 1820, which allowed the acceptance of Missouri as a slave state and Maine as a free territory. Nevertheless, the politicians' attempts to maintain a balance between slave and free states became futile as a result of other cases, such as the Fugitive Slave Act, in which the North was forced to return captured slaves back to the South.

<u>Context/detail</u>:
The 3rd Estate represented the "ordinary" or "common" citizens of France, as opposed to clergy (1st Estate) and nobility (2nd Estate). The 3rd Estate was the bulk of the people (98% of the population) of France, all considered "commoners." (The clergy and nobility were the 1st and 2nd Estates.) So, the 3rd Estate included wealthy, bourgeois wine merchants and lawyers and professionals, as well as day laborers in the city and peasant farmers in the country.
The beginning phase of the French Revolution was led by the bourgoisie -- the wealthier, business class within the 3rd Estate. They were not seeking a complete upheaval of the government, but a situation that would give them greater political rights and a government that would be advantageous for their pursuit of business profits. So the first phase of the Revolution was moderate in its goals, wanting the king to remain but be a constitutional monarch. It was later that the Revolution turned radical and began to move against the king and his family, eventually executing both the king and the queen.
