Fictional story, While Shuruppak's fatherly wisdom is one of the most ancient examples of written literature, history's oldest known fictional story is probably the “Epic of Gilgamesh,” a mythic poem that first appeared as early as the third millennium B.C.
The Kansas–Nebraska Act of 1854 was an organic act that created the territories of Kansas and Nebraska. It was drafted by Democratic Senator Stephen A. Douglas, passed by the 33rd United States Congress, and signed into law by President Franklin Pierce. Douglas introduced the bill with the goal of opening up new lands to development and facilitating construction of a transcontinental railroad, but the Kansas–Nebraska Act is most notable for effectively repealing the Missouri Compromise, stoking national tensions over slavery, and contributing to a series of armed conflicts known as "Bleeding Kansas".
The United States had acquired vast amounts of sparsely-settled land in the 1803 Louisiana Purchase, and since the 1840s Douglas had sought to establish a territorial government in a portion of the Louisiana Purchase that was still unorganized. Douglas's efforts were stymied by Senator David Rice Atchison and other Southern leaders who refused to allow the creation of territories that banned slavery; slavery would have been banned because the Missouri Compromise outlawed slavery in territory north of latitude 36°30' north. To win the support of Southerners like Atchison, Pierce and Douglas agreed to back the repeal of the Missouri Compromise, with the status of slavery instead decided on the basis of "popular sovereignty." Under popular sovereignty, the citizens of each territory, rather than Congress, would determine whether or not slavery would be allowed.

The correct answer is - 25 miles.
The journey/postal/communication relay system established in the Mongol Empire had stations set on approximately 25 miles, though there were variations from around 20 to around 30 miles.
This system was set up because the empire was enormous, so the quick travel of information was key for its functioning and proper organization.
The system, known as yam or ortoo, was very simple but very effective. For the means of travel the horse was the animal that was used, and the Mongols estimated the distance at which a single horse can be giving its maximum in speed, so they put up stations at distances where the horse's speed will start to decline because of exhaustion. The rider of the horse was either giving the message to another rider, or he was taking food and water with him, as well as a new, rested horse, and continued to the other station.
