Compare and contrast northern and southern europe to the northern and southern united states

1) Catholicism/Protestantism, 2)  Slavery, 3) romanization, 4) influence of Arabian culture, 5) Africanization.

1) Northern Europe is Prostestant (different kinds of protestantism) since the 16th century whereas Southern Europe is Catholic (some parts are orthodox like Serbia or Greece, some parts are Muslim like Bosnia). This polarity does not exist in the USA (neither in the north nor in the south).

2) American South has a tradition of slavery which has still its reverberations today. It does not exist in European south.

3) southern Europe before being Christanized was Romanized which was very important for introduction of Middle Ages and Christianity later on. In northern Europe there was no Romanization, so Christianity was introduced to Pagan cultures. This contrast between the North and the South does not exist in the USA.

4) south of Europe was under influence of Arabian civilization (Iberian peninsula: both Spain and Portugal, the Balcans: Greece, Serbia, Bulgaria  were Arabized for many centuries; south of Italy: Sicily at least) traces of which are still visible. It does not exist in the USA.

5) American south was partly Africanized because of the slavery during the 18th and 19th century. It does not exist in European south.

since there isn't any suggested answers i will give you the reason and hopefully you can figure it

south africa, or rather all of africa, has not been in the location in which it is nowadays throughout the geological past. after the super-continent pangaea started to break apart, gondwanaland, in which was africa, moved further south, and parts of it came to be very close to the south pole. because the climate in this part of the world is very cold due to the very dispersed sun rays in there, what is now south africa, started to freeze, and the conditions were right for the formation of glaciers. the glaciers existed up until the period when gondwanaland started to break apart and what is now africa started to move towards north, sp it warmed up and the glaciers melted.
