L'Encyclopédie is an encyclopedia published between 1751 and 1772 in France under the direction of Denis Diderot and Jean le Rond d'Alembert. Its purpose was to gather and disseminate in clear and accessible text, the fruits of knowledge accumulated until then under the criticism and sieve of reason. In addition, it exposes the secularist, pragmatic, materialist and bourgeois ideology of the Enlightenment. It contains 72,000 articles of more than 140 collaborators, among them Voltaire, Rousseau or Turgot, to name a few.

It is considered one of the greatest works of the eighteenth century, not only for being the first French encyclopedia, but also for containing the synthesis of the main knowledge of the time, in a considerable editorial effort for its time.

answer: secession

secession, as it applies to the outbreak of the american civil war, comprises the series of events that began on december 20, 1860, and extended through june 8 of the next year when eleven states in the lower and upper south severed their ties with the union. the first seven seceding states of the lower south set up a provisional government at montgomery, alabama. after hostilities began at fort sumter in charleston harbor on april 12, 1861, the border states of virginia, arkansas, tennessee, and north carolina joined the new government, which then moved its capital to richmond, virginia. the union was thus divided approximately on geographic lines. twenty-one northern and border states retained the style and title of the united states, while the eleven slave states adopted the nomenclature of the confederate states of america.
