Today in Western Civilization Mr. Schick announced we are having a quest tomorrow. I think I know the material pretty well so we will see how this goes. We talked about how the rich got richer by taking the patricians farms when all of the men were at war. The Plebians would try to "help" out the Patricians by buying their farms and their lands, and "kindly taking it off their hands." When the men got back from war they would have no choice but to move to Rome with their families if their farms were sold. They went to Rome for more job opportunities. Rome back then was kind of the equivalent to present day New York.
