"The technology of Arab shipbuilding in the Indian Ocean in that era before the Portuguese arrived was a curious combination of

strengths and weaknesses. The lateen sail, which the Arabs brought to the Mediterranean, by its adeptness at sailing into the wind had made the Portuguese ventures possible. The Arabs also pioneered in developing the stern rudder, which made any ship more maneuverable. They were skilled in using the stars for navigation. 'He it is,' said the Koran [Qu'ran], 'who hath appointed for you the stars that ye guide yourselves thereby in the darkness of land and sea; we have made the signs distinct for a people who have knowledge.'"
According to the passage above, which Arab invention made any ship more maneuverable?

navigation

lateen sail

ship building

stern rudder

How did the economic and social divide between the north and south need to increase sectionalism and eventually the Civil War
trapecia [35]

Answer:

The North was an industrial economy by 1860 and the South continued to be an agricultural economy producing cotton, tobacco, sugar and other things. The southern economy relied heavily on slave labor, which was not the case of the North.

In the decades previous to the Civil War (1861-1865), the different administrations imposed high tariffs to foreign products to protect the American- made northern products. This meant that northern products had usually a high price southerners had to pay for; this originated many claims of a preferential treatment which was damaging for the South and disatisfaction.

And of course, there were the rising tensions over the issue of slavery and whether new states should join the Union as free or slavery states.
