The name India is derived from Indus, which originates from the Old Persian word Hindu. The latter term stems from the Sanskrit word Sindhu, which was the historical local appellation for the Indus River. The ancient Greeks referred to the Indians as Indoi, which translates as "The people of the Indus".

How was the United States- politically, economically, and socially- in the North and South BEFORE the Civil War?

Ivahew [28]

<span>Economic, social and political structures differed significantly between the two regions, and these disparities only widened in the 1800s. In 1861, the Civil War erupted between the two sides, and much of the conflict surrounded sectional differences. Once the war ended, reconstruction lessened some sectional disparities but increased others.</span>
