Compare and contrast the economies of the Aztec and Inca
empires.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

differences:

>The Aztecs held sway in Central Mexico between 1325 AD and 1523 AD. Though an extremely warlike race, they had developed a fine technique of agriculture. They would keep soil on rafts made of reeds, and plant them with seeds. These floating gardens were called Chinampas.

>The Incas on the other hand lived on the South Eastern Coast of South America in what is now modern Peru, from 1450 AD to 1535 AD. They had devised a most ingenious system of farming on terraces carved out of hillsides, which they irrigated using water drawn from canals and streams. Corn, beans and squash were their staple diet.

>The Aztecs were particularly fierce people as evidenced even by their social and cultural practices. They even played a ball game called Tlatchli, in which the losers were sacrificed. They usually sacrificed llamas to the sun god. In fact, a sacrifice was an integral part of their culture. They would go to war in order to be able to take captives for sacrifice.

>The Incas on the other hand were a peace loving people. It was perhaps this tendency that led to their easy downfall. Their last king and his entire retinue of nobles were treacherously killed by Spanish conqueror, Francisco Pizzaro, whom they had come out to greet. The Aztecs on the other maintained a standing army and held the Spaniards in the longest siege in history.

similarities:

- Both excelled in imperial and military organizations.

- The two were based upon intensive agriculture organized by the state; goods were redistributed to groups or social classes.

- The Aztecs and Incas transformed an older kinship system into a hierarchical one where the nobility predominated.

People practiced farming, developed social structures, raised armies, and worshipped many gods.

Both empires emerged in the 14th and 15th centuries as postclassic civilizations building on the innovations of earlier political powers but expanding to greater extents

Both empires were entirely infantry, but well supplied, well-organized, and extremely aggressive and militaristic. Javelins, slings, spears and maces were used in battle.

Both empires had inherent instabilities

Both empires were fueled by corn.

Both empires have little to no seafaring, and instead stuck to the mountains and valleys in the center of the region.

Both empires conquered hundreds of cities in the region that resented their rule and taxation

Both empires were ended by Spanish invasions that capitalized on native divisions, introduced disease, and Spanish technology of guns, horses, and steel.

Both empires are misnamed-the Inka was the ruler of Tawantinsuyu, and the Aztecs adopted the name Mexica.

Both empires provided public education

Both Atahualpa and Moctezuma decided against confronting the Spanish militarily, allowing for the Spanish to take the Emperors hostage.

Attempts to restore the monarchy came after the capture and death of the emperor but were too late

Under the Articles of Confederation, representatives needed __________________ agreement to change something, and we know that getting everyone to agree is really difficult.

Answers

Answer:

Every or all the thirteen states

Explanation:

In the United States, following the War of Independence, the Americans came together to form the Articles of Confederation in 1777 among the thirteen states.

In it, there was no executive branch, no judiciary branch, and each colony has one vote each. To pass a law requires 9 of 13, while to change articles requires all the states to give consent.

Hence, Under the Articles of Confederation, representatives needed ALL THE 13 STATES agreement to change something, and we know that getting everyone to agree is really difficult.

True
False

Answers

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The U.S. Constitution set our legislative branch as having two chambers. One chamber is the Senate and the other is the House of Representatives. The Senate has two representatives from each state. The House of Representatives has a number of representatives based on how many people are living in the state. This is done so that the states that have a very small population have an equal say while the states with a higher population have a little bit more representation.

Name 4 ways Southern Whites prevented African Americans from voting?

Answers

Answer:

1) Violence: Blacks who tried to vote were threatened, beaten, and killed.  Their families were also harmed.  Sometimes their homes were burned down.  Often, they lost their jobs or were thrown off their farms.

Whites used violence to intimidate blacks and prevent them from even thinking about voting. Still, some blacks passed the requirements to vote and took the risk. Some whites used violence to punish those “uppity” people and show other blacks what would happen to them if they voted.

2) Literacy tests: Today almost all adults can read.  One hundred years ago, however, many people – black and white – were illiterate.  Most illiterate people were not allowed to vote. A few were allowed if they could understand what was read to them.  White officials usually claimed that whites could understand what was read. They said blacks could not understand it, even when they clearly could.

3) Property tests: In the South one hundred years ago, many states allowed only property owners to vote.  Many blacks and whites had no property and could not vote.

4) Grandfather clause: People who could not read and owned no property were allowed to vote if their fathers or grandfathers had voted before 1867.  Of course, practically no blacks could vote before 1867, so the grandfather clause worked only for whites.

Explanation: From about 1900 to 1965, most African Americans were not allowed to vote in the South. This was especially true in the Deep South: Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and South Carolina.

White people in power used many methods to keep African Americans from voting.  Some of these methods also prevented poor white people from voting.

HAPPY VETERANS DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Veterans Day originated as “Armistice Day” on Nov. 11, 1919, the first anniversary of the end of World War I.

how changes to the railroad helped American
industries to grow.

Answers

Answer: Railways as a key factor of economic development.

Explanation:

Railway infrastructure was a key factor in economic development during the Industrial Revolution. The installation of railways has significantly increased traffic, services and goods have had a rapid flow since then. Trains could haul a huge amount of goods in a significantly shorter time, which was not the case before. Railways caused an economic boom, production in all sectors intensified. Thus, for example, agricultural and dairy products that are more susceptible to perishability could be quickly distributed and placed on the market. The construction industry has also experienced great progress as the material has been transported faster and easier. In this way, new jobs were created because more were being built. People were able to travel faster to different locations by providing their services and thus generate income.

Answer:

A railroad is a road laid with rails, usually in pairs of continuous lines forming  tracks, on which trains run for the transportation of passengers and goods. Railroads are considered the most efficient form of transportation. They are widely used to convey heavy and bulky commodities over long distances. For example, in the year 1880, the transcontinental railroad was transporting $50 million worth of bulky goods each year.

The American industry grew tremendously with the new modifications to the railroad. The new railroad system made transportation of bulky cash crop produce easier from the farming site to the processing site. Most of the farmers could not afford an expensive means of transportation.  

Secondly, railroads helped people to connect to different parts of the country at a reduced cost. People could move from one region to another through the use of the rail system with minimal expense.

Explanation:

Having aligned themselves with the Republican Party since the days of Abraham Lincoln, what made African Americans switch to the Democrats during the Depression Era? This lesson explores why African Americans voted for Franklin Roosevelt, despite the fact that the Democratic Party had traditionally denied them basic civil rights. Using primary sources and a variety of voices from the period, students can discover how the Depression affected African- American workers, and why black voters switched their allegiance during the period. Students will also learn how Democrats and Republicans of the time responded to the call for civil rights. Roosevelt’s problem was that in order to retain his position of leadership, he had to keep the Southern Democrats – who time and again denied African Americans the vote in their states – within the party. Although Roosevelt made no move to reverse the legal segregation at the time, he did invite several African-American leaders to serve as advisors to the administration. He also ensured that African Americans had access to relief during the worst days of the Depression. Because of Roosevelt’s willingness to engage African Americans as Americans, he won their votes for the Democratic Party for decades to come.
