The Triple Alliance was the association of city-states that in the fifteenth century ruled
Central Mexico.
Mid-Atlantic colonies.
the highlands of Peru.
the Yucatan Peninsula.
the Amazon River basin.
The Triple Alliance was the association of Tenochtitlan, Texoco, and Tlacopan, three city states in Central Mexico that came together in the early 1400s CE. This association ruled over much of central Mexico for the next hundred years, with authority vested in the king of Tenochtitlan, although most associated city states had some authority. When Hernan Cortes first encountered and then conquered the Alliance in the early sixteenth century, he and his fellow Spaniards related to it as an "Empire," which they named after the largest ethnic group in the Alliance, the Azteca.

Which of these statements about the North and the South in the years immediately before the Civil War is most true?
The North was a far more industrial economy than the South.
The North had more slave-owning citizens than the South.
The majority of people in the South owned slaves, while in the North, slavery was illegal.
The South had a much higher population than the North.
The South had greater political influence than the North.
At the outbreak of Civil War, the industrial economy of the North was far more developed than the economy of the South, which was still a largely agrarian or plantation-based economy. The population of the North was much higher than the population of the South, and therefore the North had greater political influence. It is actually not true that the majority of people in the South owned slaves; it was a very small minority, but a prominent minority.
