    During the late 19th century, the United States was divided into a informal country known as the Confederate States of America which consisted of seven secessionist slave holding states.

    1) Colonization has been prevalent since the age of mankind, likewise with economics. The economics of the world heavily correlates to the pattern of colonization that swept across the globe in the 1700’s.
