 The Republic of Lebanon is located on the eastern end of the Mediterranean Sea, between Israeli occupied Palestine to the south and Syria to the north and east. Present day Lebanon, the historic home of the ancient Phoenicians, has been a major cultural crossroads for millennia, invaded by Alexander the Great, the Romans, and the Crusaders, just to name a few.
Lebanon, about three fourths the size of the State of Connecticut, has a narrow coastal plain rising to a mountaineous eastern region. Lebanon has a Mediterranean climate with a hot and dry summer season and a shorter cool, rainy winter.
Lebanon's legal system is a mixture of Ottoman law, canon law, Napoleonic code and civil law without judicial review of legislative acts. The population of Lebanon is approximately 60% Muslim and 40% Christian, with a small number of other faiths represented. Suffrage for Lebanese males at 21 is compulsory, women age 21 with an elementary education may vote. The capital and largest city of Lebanon is Beirut.

South Asia and the Middle East-
The silk industry around Mount Lebanon in Syria prospered for many years. This region, which is now Lebanon, is rugged and mountainous. Many Lebanese people earned a living by cultivation silkworms and weaving the delicate threads into cloth. The Lebanese were also potters, craftsmen, and farmers. Then in 1869, the Suez Canal in Egypt opened, proving a shorter route between Europe and the Far East. Europeans started to buy their silk from China instead of Lebanon. The loss of the silk trade was only one problem the Lebanonese faced at that time. By the last half of the 19th century, the population of Syria had greatly increased, and the amount of arable land had decreased. Lebanese people looked to the United States as a land of opportunities. Lebanese families often combined their resources to send promising young people to America. These immigrants, in turn, sent part of their earnings back to their families. Lebanese immigrants did not want to work in factories or mines. So many took up a completely new profession. Both men and women became peddlars. For a small investment or for credit, peddlars filled backpacks and suitcases with small items, such as laces, tools, and kitchenwares. Each day, they trampled many miles carrying their heavy packs. They sold their products to housewives and people who worked all day in factories and could not always get to stores. Lebanese peddlers met many other Americans every day. They quickly learned English and American culture. ... .
