Precolumbian-1700 Test Corrections: #7: For planters, a slave labor system had important advantages over a servant labor system because slaves: A(cost less than indentured servants) B(could be controlled politically) The answer is B, as slaves could not rebel like Nathaniel Bacon and other Yeoman Farmers and indentured servants for a variety of reasons mainly, small population or the population being spread out across colonies, as well as no access to the ability to vote(originally black landowning males could vote, but this liberty was soon rescinded when slavery became quite common among plantations). Foner explains this in Give Me Liberty, “Virginia’s shift from white indentured servants to African slaves as the main plantation labor force was accelerated by Bacon’s Rebellion of 1676... Which frightened Virginia's ruling elite, who took dramatic steps to consolidate their power… To avertt the further rise of a rebellious population of landless former indentured servants, Virginia's authorities accelerated the shift to slaves on the tobacco…

After the fall of Rome in the 500's and 1500's Europe was in a time period called the "dark ages". Petrarch, an Italian scholar, created the term "dark ages" as stated in the dark ages movie talk. During the dark ages there were many declines and advancements, making it complicated for historians to decide if it was truly a dark age. These growths and declines are making historians go into a long debate about whether the dark age was really a dark age or a period of growth. Although there are some good elements in the dark ages, the many deaths during the Black Death and the unstable government are more reflective of a dark age.…
In the Foundations Era, complex societies were just beginning to emerge due to agricultural surpluses, so government systems weren’t as intricate as they were in the Classical Era. Political authorities began to build states with governmental institutions, and did basic governmental actions, such as collecting taxes and creating law codes. Transitioning into the Classical Era, governments became more complex, with elaborate bureaucracies and imperial authority. Many empires had struggles within their governments such as negligent and selfish rulers and rebellious subordinates under loose centralized rule, which contributed to the collapse of quite a few dynasties. Throughout the course of the Foundations Era and Classical Era, the qualities…
“It had long since come to my attention that people of accomplishment rarely sat back and let things happen to them. They went out and happened to things.” - Leonardo da Vinci. This describes the change from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance. During the Middle Ages people were more concerned with the afterlife than their current lives. Since most people were serfs they were waiting for an afterlife that would be better than their life on Earth.…
The ancient Greek civilization had two memorable and influential achievements, one of which was architectural and the other political. As seen in the Parthenon, the Greeks were unbelievable architects, and one of the most important inventions, if not the most important invention, was the column (document 2). The column can be seen on many Greek structures including manors, government buildings and other buildings. Columns augmented the Greeks capability of building structures. Another achievement of the ancient Greeks was the ideology of a democracy.…

Following the Renaissance and rise of humanism in Europe was the Scientific Revolution in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. While the Church was still reaffirming its power after its major struggle during the Protestant Reformation, people began to look for other paths of explanation that diverged from the divine. An elite appreciation for science and mathematics fueled this movement, but the scientific discoveries that sprung forth were closely monitored by those in power, namely the Catholic Church. The direction of scientific exploration was also controlled by existing societal values, restricting science to a rich man’s study, only for those who were seen as capable of pursuing it.…
The Middle Ages, the era between 500 and 1400 AD, may be viewed as a period of decline, warfare, religious commitment or as a time of noteworthy achievements. As a result, it has been given many labels which include, Dark Ages, Golden Age, Feudalism, and the Age of Faith. The Age of Faith in my opinion is what the Middle Ages is known for because of the huge impact the Church and religion had on people's lives. The Middle Ages has been referred to as the Dark Ages. The Dark Ages was a period of time after the fall of Rome where there were no advancements and no innovations were being made.…

The styles combined columns, arches, and vaults. They were long, think bricks of clay which would be made to a standard size that gave more of a characteristic appearance to the city.…
I found it very beautiful and awe-inspiring, and to find out what exactly made it so, I researched about its pillars and history. In the following paragraphs, I will talk about the Doric order of architecture and how it is used in the Temple of Poseidon, and the three orders used in most of the ancient Greek buildings surviving today. There are five orders of architecture that were used in the ancient world, mostly in Greece and Rome, and they were the Ionic, Doric, Tuscan, Corinthian, and Composite. Out of these five, the Ionic, Doric, and Corinthian were used and created in Ancient Greece. Each consisted of columns, which are possibly the most striking feature of Greek architecture.…
