Exam: Part 2

View Agricultural Revolution Map in a larger map The agricultural revolution was important because it was the start of permanent settlement, growing crops, creating jobs, and the start of an economy. Once people started to settling down and growing food, that was an opening to create work.  Jobs were created to make things, harvest things, and use natural resources to cure disease.  This was the opening of bartering and trade, but later became the exchange of money.  More people settled in the same place in order to exchange services and goods for survival.  As more technology became accessible these communities grew bigger and then developed into states, provinces, or countries.

Washington D.C.- Capitol Hill is desolate.  The streets are barren.  No one dares to waste energy because of the food shortage.  The agricultural system has fallen.  Jobs and resources are scarce.  Money has become tight.  The president hasn't gotten any sleep for the past two days.  On June 6 2222, our American president announced that our agricultural system has broken down.  There is no more money to transport food that has been grown.  The people are moving around, looking for states that offer more crops.  Millions of jobs have been lost and there is no way to reverse the damage done.

The neolithic period was a time when the agricultural system was blossoming but now it has been broken down into nothing.  A statement from the White House will be released soon. For now, we are all on standby.
