    The Known World: A Novel (2003) is the Pulitzer Prize-winning debut novel by Edward P. Jones. The book was praised by critics for its provocative depiction of the complexities of slavery in the United States and helped establish Jones's reputation as an author of note. Jones was inspired while attending College of the Holy Cross when he learned that a few free blacks owned slaves in pre-Civil War America. The author spent about ten years developing the story idea and reading books about slavery before writing the novel in late 2001 and early 2002.…

    The economy of the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) of China was the largest in the world at the time. It is regarded as one of China 's three golden ages (the other two being the Han and Tang dynasties), the Ming is also the dynasty where the first sprouts of Chinese capitalism can be seen. The economic growth so evident under the Ming Dynasty continued under the Qing Dynasty, up until the time of the Opium War in the 1840s. During this time, China’s domestic economy was a dynamic, commercialising economy, and in some ways, even an industrialising economy. The Ming Dynasty, “one of the greatest eras of orderly government and social stability in human history” 1, was the last native imperial dynasty in Chinese history, sandwiched between the two dynasties of foreign origin, Yuan and Qing. The Ming stand as the last attempt to hold Chinese government in native hands and the last dynasty run by ethnic Hans. As China was humiliated and oppressed by the rule of the Mongols, the Ming Dynasty rose up out of a peasant rebellion led by Zhu Yuanzhang to preside over the greatest economic and social revolution in China before the modern period. Trade was allowed between China and nations in the west, cash crops were more frequently grown, specialised industries were founded, and the economic growth caused by the privatisation of state industries resulted in a prosperous period that exceeded that of the earlier Song Dynasty. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, shortly before the Manchus overthrew the Ming and established the Qing Dynasty, China’s economy was a period of expansion. New markets were being founded, and merchants were extending their businesses across provincial lines and even into the South China Sea.…

    From 5,000 BCE to 600 BCE, the politics of Mesopotamia shifted from a religiously-led nation, to a secular nation due to the replacement of hunting and gathering for food, with agriculture. In 5,000 BCE, Mesopotamia was settled by the Sumerians, who built the main framework for the Mesopotamian Civilization. Mesopotamia is located between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers, which is what made it an excellent place for growing crops. This change in lifestyle sparked the development of the first modern government system. Temples were located in the center of each city. Temples housed the deities who watched over their citizens. Priests made up the most powerful political force in the City. They tended to the shrine and managed the wealth of the deities, to whom citizens were expected to make contributions. By 4,000 BCE, farming had become the main industry of the Nation. Farmers used plows to turn the Earth. Families formed rural farming communities outside the main city. These villages were expected to grow a surplus for the citizens of larger cities. Since urban dwellers had a surplus of time and food, they devoted their days to other trades, such as metallurgy. In 3,000 BCE, the first kings emerged. The king was called “lugal”, meaning “big man.” Unlike Priesthood, the position of lugal was not necessarily hereditary, however, honorable sons were allowed to succeed their fathers. This was probably the origin of the monarchy. The Palace gradually succeed the Temple as the “central office” of the government, and by the end of 3,000 BCE, the Palace ruled over the Temple, supervising all of their religious practices. Many Kings claimed to be gods on Earth, however the more widely accepted version was that they were a representation of gods on Earth. Kings were responsible for overseeing the Temple, maintaining the city walls and defenses, supervising irrigation channels, and protecting the people. Thus, Mesopotamia became a…

    Silver was a newly traded and highly valued item the world had not yet seen in depth. The Spanish and the Dutch had most of the silver, but because during this time period it was considered the accepted medium for trade goods, nearly all the silver ended up in China.
