The 1920’s were a period of tension between the traditionalists and modernists. The tension between these two groups was aroused by the economical advancements, social developments, and cultural changes in the 1920s.

Both nationalism and sectionalism had a great influence on whether the period from 1815-1825 was actually the “Era of Good Feelings.” Despite the fact that nationalism was emerging, it also caused many economic issues, thus, the “Era of Good Feelings” was not labeled accurately.

Islam is a religion that controls their follower's daily lives. It quickly spread throughout many large and small civilizations all throughout the world. Two civilizations that Islam affected were the Byzantine Empire and China.

The 1896 United States presidential election is often classified as a realigning election– an election that results in the reorganization of the structure and policies of political parties.

He believed that there were four humors that made up the human body. The factors used to balance the humors was climate, location, age, and diet. The four humors were Sanguine, Choleric, Melancholic, and Phlegmatic. The way Martyn Shuttleworth describes the four humors was, “ Sanguine is the blood, related to the element of air and the liver, dictated courage, hope and love. Choleric is the Yellow bile related to the element of fire and the Gall Bladder could lead to bad temper and anger, if in excess. Melancholic is the Black bile, associated with the element of earth and the spleen, which would lead to sleeplessness and irritation if it dominated the body. Phlegmatic is the Phlegm associated with the element of water and the brain, which was responsible for rationality but would dull the emotions if allowed to become dominant.” Those truly were what Greek medicine was based on for decades. It was said to be very important which is why the medicine that was created was centered around keeping the humors in balance.

Ideas such as the Reformation, Scientific Revolution, and the Enlightenment led to new inventions and ways of thinking. Faith was also spread to the new lands conquered by Europeans.
