Rome Rap Notes Part 2

Today in class, my group shared our YouTube video thingy and so did Alex's group, Holly's, and Maxwell's. Then, we took notes on the rap that Mr. Schick wrote. Here are some more notes. Hannibal was a Carthagian general, who assembled troops in the Second Punic War and attacked Rome from the North. Rome won the Second Punic War and they were now 2-0. At the Third Punic War, Rome attacked Carthage and completely destroyed it. 1/3 of the population of Rome are slaves. A latifundia is a huge estate also known as a farm. After people couldn't cope and lost their land, they decided to move to Rome. The Gracchus Brothers tried to reform the government. They had an idea to talk to the rich and try and get them to give back to the soldiers who fought in the war and lost a lot of things. They said no and when things started to get some traction, they killed one of the brothers. This almost started a civil war.
