Upper Class – Elite.
Upper Middle Class.
Lower Middle Class.
Working Class.

Explanation:

In the Middle ages, society was composed of three orders of people: the nobles, the clergy, the peasants. The next highest level in the medieval social structure was the lords or nobles. The lords were given the responsibility of estates by the monarch. In exchange for this land, the lords gave the king their loyalty and military support. On their land, the lords grew crops and were able to keep some of them for themselves. Also, the lords were able to keep the profit that was made from selling the crops. The lords of the manors were responsible for maintaining the order of their land, enforcing the laws, and keeping the serfs safe.

What was the purpose of the white league

Alexeev081 [22]

The White League, also known as the White Man's League was a white paramilitary organization started in the Southern United States in 1874 to kick Republicans out of office and intimidate freedmen from voting and politically organizing. Affiliated with the Democratic Party, its first chapter was formed in Grant Parish, Louisiana and neighboring parishes, made up of many of the Confederate veterans who had participated in the Colfax massacre in April 1873. Chapters were soon founded in New Orleans and other areas of the state The Red Shirts was a similar group that formed chapters in Mississippi and the Carolinas. Active during the later years of Reconstruction, these paramilitary groups were described as "the military arm of the Democratic Party." Through violence and intimidation of blacks and allied whites, their members suppressed Republican voting and contributed to the Democrats' taking control of the Louisiana Legislature in 1876 (and to Democratic control in other southern states).After white Democrats regained control of the state legislature in 1876, members of the White Leagues were absorbed into the state militias and the National Guard.

Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

Agricultural communities developed approximately 10,000 years ago when humans began to domesticate plants and animals.
