Hammurabi's Code set laws in the Babylonian empire that applied to everyone. Including Hammurabi himself. This was important because it had never been done before, at least not at such a bit level. Hammurabi's Code inspired many countries to do the same, which led to monarchs being less powerful and was another step in the direction of democracy.
Hope this helps! Please let me know if I'm wrong :)
<span>Ida B Wells used a strategy we would today called "data journalism" in her anti-lynching campaign. She traveled through the south keeping records of all the lynchings that occured and the reasons for them. She then put this together in her book "A Red Record: Tabulated Statistics and Alleged Causes of Lynchings In the United States" establishing several arguments of how lynchings were used to control African Americans.</span>
Answer:
Because in the south, there had been small riots for years, whereas in the north, there was a series of very large riots because the north had not previously had riots. The south had continuously been having smaller riots for years before and after (Including lynching, murder of African Americans, and attacks on black businesses, etc.)
