ya yeet

Explanation:

The Greek alphabet has been used to write the Greek language since the late ninth or early eighth century BC.[3][4] It is derived from the earlier Phoenician alphabet,[5] and was the first alphabetic script in history to have distinct letters for vowels as well as consonants. In Archaic and early Classical times, the Greek alphabet existed in many local variants, but, by the end of the fourth century BC, the Euclidean alphabet, with twenty-four letters, ordered from alpha to omega, had become standard and it is this version that is still used to write Greek today.

During industrialization what were the attitudes toward slavery

kaheart [24]

Hi there!

I believe slaves were no longer required in such large numbers anymore. Basically, machines started doing the work they would usually do, so it makes sense to think that attitudes changed positively, perhaps they may have even started getting paid jobs themselves and began working towards a decent quality of life.

I hope this helps :)
