Because nothing can last forever, not even empires.
<span> In the last quarter of the 19th century, all four items were sources of energy. Kerosene was commonly used for lighting, electricity was beginning to replace gas lighting and steam was used to power boats, trains, and certain kinds of industrial machinery. Gasoline was the primary fuel of the automobile, or "horseless carriage," which appeared in the 1890's. Of these four, however, steam was introduce the earliest. The concept of the steam engine goes back to ancient times. However, the steam engine was really introduced as a common source of energy early in the 18th Century. So while kerosene, gasoline, and electricity as an energy source were all developments of the 19th century, Steam power is at least a century (and maybe more) older. </span>
Answer:
CE stands for “common (or current) era”, while BCE stands for “before the common (or current) era”. These abbreviations have a shorter history than BC and AD, although they still date from at least the early 1700s.

Correct answer: Were paid less than white soldiers.
Details:
According to a National Archives article on "Black Soldiers in the U.S. Military during the Civil War" -
- <em>In addition to the perils of war faced by all Civil War soldiers, black soldiers faced additional problems stemming from racial prejudice. Racial discrimination was prevalent even in the North, and discriminatory practices permeated the U.S. military. Segregated units were formed with black enlisted men and typically commanded by white officers and black noncommissioned officers. ... Black soldiers were initially paid $10 per month from which $3 was automatically deducted for clothing, resulting in a net pay of $7. In contrast, white soldiers received $13 per month from which no clothing allowance was drawn.</em>
In 1864, however, the US Congress corrected the problem of unequal pay, and made the measure they passed retroactive, so that black soldiers would receive retroactive wages to compensate for that previous inequality.
