Answer:

Explanation:

Since the Spartans were warriors, they usually wore clothes that were a dark crimson color as this color would hide blood from wounds received in battle.

Men were the only people in Sparta who were considered citizens. Men have to be soldiers and have to start training when they are seven years old.

The Perioikoi where the people in charge of the agricultural land, business,controlling commerce, and responsible for the manufacture of spartan weapons and armor.

Helots where individual spartans owned by the state and were assigned agricultural work.

The Agoge had basic classes such as reading and writing but the vicious conditions involved being stripped from their parents at age 7, being forced to fight their classmates to prove strength to the teachers, they were put to tests to restrain hardship like cold, hunger and pain.

Exercise for Spartan women was seen as a guarantee that the strong & fit would better survive childbirth and produce healthy offspring.

The Battle of Thermopylae is the most important battle of the Persian War because the sacrifice of the men at Thermopylae later fueled the Greeks to push the Persian army back out of their country. Thermopylae prevented the Persians from conquering all of Greece, even though they were able to burn Athens.

Both supposedly descendants of Heracles and equal in authority, so that one could not act against the power and political enactments of his colleague. The duties of the kings were primarily religious, judicial, and military.

The ephors presided over meetings of the council of elders, or gerousia, and assembly, or apella, and were responsible for the execution of their decrees.

The council was built around 28 members and the 2 kings Members of the council served  for life, and the Assembly elected new members when others died. The council of elders made the laws the  Assembly voted on, and could send the Assembly home if they disagreed with them. The council of elders  were usually wealthy men from aristocratic (rich) families. The Spartan government was an oligarchy, where  28 rich men could overrule the majority of the people.

wariber [46]
White employers and the Ku Klux Klan threatened African Americans. Yup, I took US History and learned about this tragic part of the civil rights era. The KKK would beat and threaten them with weapons and set the buses on fire with the protesters inside the buses and block their path so they would burn to death within the bus.
