What effect did the devolpment of trade have on settlement patterns

Explanation:

Trade had a very big influence in medieval times. Thanks to trade, the medieval people had access to markets which contained goods that came from other parts of the world. Also, trade in the Medieval Era was responsible for the development of many cities in Northern Europe, such as Florence in Italy.

Goods that were not from Europe became common such as silk, spices, and different foods. All of this created different patterns of behavior, people got used to eating and use those things that came from other countries and cultures started to mix.

Also, the need for new goods pushed the International Trade which eventually led to the discovery of new lands such as the Americas.

union blockade

explanation:

the union blockade in the american civil war was a naval strategy by the united states to prevent the confederacy from trading.

the blockade was proclaimed by president abraham lincoln in april 1861, and required the monitoring of 3,500 miles (5,600 km) of atlantic and gulf coastline, including 12 major ports, notably new orleans and mobile. those blockade runners fast enough to evade the union navy could only carry a small fraction of the supplies needed. they were operated largely by british citizens, making use of neutral ports such as havana, nassau and bermuda. the union commissioned around 500 ships, which destroyed or captured about 1,500 blockade runners over the course of the war.

what if dreaming is our natural state, and we only wake to collect information for our dreams.

if we were to fully devote our bodies, minds, and consciousness to dreaming, how far would it go? we could essentially reach a new plain of existence were we here in these bodies are sleeping, but an entire universe of endless possibilities, happening right in our head.

that could be the way we reach some of these scientific feats that we all seem to want. we could connect to many other things. that could be the way we connect to extra-terrestrial, and even spirits of the dead.

dreaming is something that humans take for ranted, when really, it could be the key to the universe.
