about some grammar

[nguyen dung]

In the book:Best little stories from Civil War by Kelly,story Who the South was,there is aparagraph:

If you think about it, the South that formed the Confederacy was a far cry from the aristocratic Southland that provided one U.S. president after another
following the Revolutionary War. During the Revolutionary period itself, the South produced George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, George Mason, James
Madison, James Monroe, George Wythe, and a host of other striking leaders. It was the old Southland, too, that gave the New World its model legislative
body—the Virginia Assembly—and that provided the Supreme Court its first historical “superstar,” John Marshall.

Is the ''New World'' the complement of the ''its model legislative body''?Is the ''Supreme Court'' the complement of the ''its first historical ''superstar'' ''?

I'm not sure what you mean by complement, nguyen dung.

I would say that the pattern is verb - indirect object - direct object:

It was the old Southland, too, that gave the New World its model legislative
body—the Virginia Assembly—and that provided the Supreme Court its first historical “superstar,” John Marshall.

Which I had written like this:

It was the old Southland, too, that gave
the New World (indirect object)
its model legislative body—the Virginia Assembly— (direct object)
and that provided
the Supreme Court (indirect object)
its first historical “superstar,” John Marshall. (direct object)
