Answer:

After the election of Abraham Lincoln as president of the United States in 1860, South Carolina, followed by several southern states, decided to secede and separate from the United States to form a new nation, the Confederate States.

The reason why these states made this decision was because they suspected that President Lincoln had among its main government objectives the abolition of slavery, on which the southern states had organized their economies, based on agricultural exploitation through hand of slave labor. Assuming that the President would take this decision that would affect their lives and lead them to the economic and social debacle, South Carolina and other southern states separated from the United States, causing the Civil War.

raketka [301]

Romulus and Remus, two twin brothers founded the city of Rome. However, the twins had an argument about where to start Rome. Romulus favored the Palatine Hill, but Remus favored the Aventine Hill.

They decided to settle the disagreement by asking the gods. Each brother stood on his respective hill. Remus saw six birds fly overhead, and Romulus saw twelve. However, Remus countered that he had seen the birds first.

Nonetheless, Romulus started to build a wall around his city. Then, Remus jumped over the wall as an insult to his brother. Angered, Romulus killed Remus. He regretted it, and took Remus to Amulius's palace, and buried him there.
