How did the helots influence the spartan development of a strong military

The helots was a population enslaved by the Spartans. During the classical period, the population of helots was much larger than the population of free Spartans. Such a large population of slaves represented a risk to the Spartan population. Because of this, several Spartans institutions were designed with the purpose of preventing rebellion and reducing the risk of helots forgetting their social role. The Spartans developed a strong military in order to ensure that they were able to resist a helot uprising.

What led to the outbreak of the bloodiest conflict in the history of North America? A common explanation is that the Civil War was fought over the moral issue of slavery. In fact, it was the economics of slavery and political control of that system that was central to the conflict. A key issue was states' rights.
