Alexander The Great as he was known, was and excellent, sophisticated military leader considered by many historians as a genius. Thanks to his greatness, Alexander the Great was able to practically changed the nature of the ancient world by himself in less than 10 years.
When he was in front of his armies he commanded them by example. The fact that he considered himself to be indestructible made him gamble, and take extreme risks with his own life as well as the soldiers he lead.
He was born in July of 356 BC in the city of Pella which was the capital of Macedonia at the time. Also and most importantly, he was educated by the great philosopher Aristotle. After his father assassination Philip II in 336 BC, young Alexander took control of the kingdom his father left. Unfortunately, the kingdom was in a very precarious and volatile situation which he quickly was able to put under control by defeating all of those who opposed him at home. Later, he went on to conquer and control the entire Persian Empire.
Thanks to all of these attributes of courage, ingenuity and self confidence, Alexander the Great was able to control and maintain a firm grip on Greece and the whole Persian Empire.
The conditions in the South during Reconstruction
Even though Southern states rejoined the Union and agreed to the 13th amendment (which outlawed the institution of slavery), the South looked very similar to what it did before the Civil War started. Even though African Americans were technically free, many of them still worked on plantations. There work on plantations was under the system known as sharecropping. Sharecropping is a system in which a person leases land from a farm owners. In return, the worker promises to give land owners a share of their crop. This system resulted in strict labor contracts. Ultimately, this system would tie African Americans to plantations as plantation owners used loopholes within the contract to keep their tenants from finding other opportunities.
Along with this, African Americans were still treated horribly in the South. The development of the Ku Klux Klan, a white supremacist organization, resulted in the beating and killing of thousands of African American citizens. This group was created in order to strike fear in the hearts of African American citizens and to prevent them from using their newly gained rights (like the right for men to vote).
Lastly, the South would continue to treat African Americans as inferior by the implementation of black codes and Jim Crow laws. These laws allowed for the development of segregated public and private facilities.
