In the New Testament of the Bible, hatred is shown towards wealth and merchants (Doc 1). In the book of Matthew, it is stated that a camel could fit through the eye of a sewing needle easier than a wealthy main could attain a position in heaven. This is very bluntly stating that being a rich man is not something that a Christian should be proud of and in fact it is seen almost as a sin in Christianity because a man with wealth may only be taken to Hell in the afterlife. Because of this, a merchant around 70- 80 C.E. was very poorly regarded.

Many of the major oil companies were born at Spindletop or grew to major corporate size as a result of their involvement at Spindletop.

Imam B Originally secluded far away from each other, civilizations began trading with other civilizations in order to attain resources they did not have in exchange for ones that they did have. However, these traders needed a safe route from one civilization to another and therefore, trade networks that were protected by empires, such as the Silk Road, enabled traders a way to get from Africa to Europe to China safely to trade goods.

All of these parliamentary laws caused uproars in the colonies. They believed that they were not fair because of the no representation of colonists at parliament meetings. The British, to colonial dismay, told them that they were represented because they had Virtual Representation because all parliament members represent all British citizens.
