Looking back we can see that this was due to a lot of different pressures. Some were long-term, such as political advantage and urbanisation which did not immediately cause political change but eventually led to many changes. Some were some short-term, such as pressure groups, foreign influences and the support of new ideas, but they each led to an increase to the franchise. The social and economic changes that took place helped increase the franchise a lot. Britain's population was growing throughout the 19th century.
The need to raise, transport, and supply the large armies led to a flourishing of trade throughout Europe. Many roads had been largely unused since the days of Rome, but the Crusades increased the traffic of merchans significantly as they began to expand their horizons. This was a direct result from not only the Crusades preparing Europe for travel, but also the want to travel after being reacquanted with the Middle East. These new trade routes brought many foreign products that were previously unidentified or extremely rare and expensive, such as a variety of spices, ivory, jade, diamonds, glass manufacturing techniques, early forms of gun powder, oranges, and apples. This need also brought up the need to maintain control of the Black Sea,
They usually entrusted their estates to a steward who superintended the working in the estates and even collected revenues. The stewards who were charged with this responsibility came to be known as mayor of the palace. Over time the palace mayor started assuming more responsibility like being a custodian to a minor king, a disciplinarian in the King’s court and this made him become very powerful. With so power in their hands they monopolized the position of the palace mayor and used their power to craft laws or policies that would be used to govern their people. As mentioned earlier on, the dynasty played a pivotal role in uniting most of Western Europe and the man who was behind all this was called Charles Martel.
The smog in the city is not the most ideal for most people. With all the refineries and manufacturing plants putting out all their smoke; and cars with all their emissions there is an abundance of smog. One of the things I missed most was not being able to look up and see all the stars or remember what fresh air was. It seemed like the only time I would catch a breath of fresh air was when it was raining. Living in the country, now that was a different story.
Water also helps them with extra stuff they need in order for the Sumerians used to live. The wall was very important to Sumer because the wall helped them with different things. For example, go back to the paragraph The Rivers, it was called “The Land Between Two Rivers” without the wall they had a lot of floods and with the wall they could control the waters. The wall also helped to keep out the enemies. It was helping to keep out predators and bandits.
This applied in all aspects of society including economy. The nobles across Europe possessed a great portion of the king’s land, they made the land safe for any peasant looking to work under their rule. Through fear as the middle-ages were dangerous times the peasants often flocked to these lands. However, throughout time often the growing power of the noblemen often caused corruption, this corruption lead to greed and cruel treatment of peasants. The nobles not only were very wealthy due to their statute, but also
In my opinion, this caused families to produce more kids than usual to account for the ones that would become victim to illness. After a few centuries the epidemic subsided but the overpopulation was at its height. With the rise in growth also came a rise in land values and the revitalizing of commerce (Brinkley, 2012). A change from farming crops to the raising of sheep provided more profits. This shift left workers who tilled and worked the lands without work, food, or a place to stay as the lands usually saved for renters where given to the sheep for grassing areas.
The impoverished areas of New Orleans suffered the greatest losses because the houses were poorly built and many people were not educated on the danger of the coming storm. Even after the storm passed, any average Joe could walk down the streets of New Orleans, “Past variation after variation on a single theme: upended cars and boats, wrecked houses with roofs smashed in, front walls spray-painted with numbers and dates signifying when the house had been searched and how many dead bodies had been found” (Hertsgaard 130). The most preposterous part of the entire event was the sluggish and
Chapter 22: The Early Industrial Revolution 1760- 1851 I. Causes of the Industrial revolution i.

The agricultural development in the United States evolved tremendously during the late 1700s to mid-1800s around 1840. Farmers from different regions started to transport goods from one another. The new systems of transportation and farming machinery allowed the transition from labor driven farming. Farmers and their families started to migrate to regions to work in the factories with more productive and were less labor driven (Brinkley, 2007). In the northwest region the population increased therefore, the demand for food did as well.
