Some countries in the Communist Bloc, such as Cuba, were often regarded as "Third World". ĭue to the complex history of evolving meanings and contexts, there is no clear or agreed-upon definition of the Third World. In the dependency theory of thinkers like Raúl Prebisch, Walter Rodney, Theotônio dos Santos, and Andre Gunder Frank, the Third World has also been connected to the world-systemic economic division as "periphery" countries dominated by the countries comprising the economic "core". It was also sometimes taken as synonymous with countries in the Non-Aligned Movement. The Third World was normally seen to include many countries with colonial pasts in Africa, Latin America, Oceania and Asia. The concept itself has become outdated as it no longer represents the current political or economic state of the world and historically poor countries have transited different income stages. It is being replaced with terms such as developing countries, least developed countries or the Global South. Since the fall of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War, the term Third World has decreased in use. Strictly speaking, "Third World" was a political, rather than an economic, grouping. This terminology provided a way of broadly categorizing the nations of the Earth into three groups based on political divisions. The United States, Canada, Japan, South Korea, Western European nations and their allies represented the " First World", while the Soviet Union, China, Cuba, North Korea, Vietnam and their allies represented the " Second World". The term " Third World" arose during the Cold War to define countries that remained non-aligned with either NATO or the Warsaw Pact.

Harlan was the last of seven ships built to the same design by Harlan & Hollingsworth for the Morgan Line between 18. The trip between Galveston and New Orleans is a long car ride now, but 150 years ago, a two-night trip aboard a coastal steamer like Harlan was both the fastest and most comfortable way to make the journey. Recall that at this time, there was no rail connection between Texas and the rest of the United States - that came later. By running four ships on a schedule like this, there was a steamer departing each port every three or four days. Harlan would depart New Orleans again on June 17.
A published schedule for the line ( Galveston Daily News, June 13, 1866) gives the following for one of Harlan‘s voyages:ĭepart New Orleans, June 5 Arrive Galveston, June 7 Depart Galveston, June 7 Arrive Indianola, June 8 Depart Indianola, June 9 Arrive Galveston, June 10 Depart Galveston, June 10 Arrive New Orleans, June 12 Fives nights at New Orleans, and then cycle repeats. When she began the route in mid-1866, Harlan ran with three other steamships ( Harris, Hewes and Morgan) on a 12-day cycle: New Orleans to Galveston (2 nights) after a brief stop at Galveston, on to Indianola (1 night) overnight at Indianola (1 night) then back to Galveston (1 night) a brief stop again at Galveston and back to New Orleans (2 nights).
