Answer:
William Penn had a distaste for cities. His colony, Pennsylvania, would need a capital that would not bring the horrors of European urban life to the shores of his New World experiment. Penn determined to design and to administer the city himself to prevent such an occurrence. He looked with disdain on London's crowded conditions and sought to prevent this by designing a city plan with streets wider than any major thoroughfare in London. Five major squares dotted the cityscape, and Penn hoped that each dweller would have a family garden. He distributed land in large plots to encourage a low population density. This, he thought, would be the perfect combination of city and country. In 1681, he made it happen.
Penn's selection of a site was most careful. PHILADELPHIA is situated at the confluence of the SCHUYLKILL and DELAWARE RIVERS. He hoped that the Delaware would supply the needed outlet to the Atlantic and that the Schuylkill would be the needed artery into the interior of Pennsylvania. This choice turned out to be controversial. The proprietors of Maryland claimed that Penn's new city lay within the boundaries of Maryland. Penn returned to England to defend his town many times. Eventually the issue would be decided on the eve of the Revolution by the drawing of the famed MASON-DIXON LINE.
With Penn promoting religious toleration, people of many different faiths came to Philadelphia. The Quakers may have been tolerant of religious differences, but were fairly uncompromising with moral digressions. It was illegal to tell lies in conversation and even to perform stage plays. Cards and dice were forbidden. Upholding the city's moral code was taken very seriously. This code did not extend to chattel slavery. In the early days, slavery was commonplace in the streets of Philadelphia. William Penn himself was a slaveholder. Although the first antislavery society in the colonies would eventually be founded by Quakers, the early days were not free of the curse of human bondage.
Early Philadelphia had its ups and downs. William Penn spent only about four years of his life in Pennsylvania. In his absence, Philadelphians quibbled about many issues. At one point, Penn appointed a former soldier, JOHN BLACKWELL, to bring discipline to town government. Still, before long Philadelphia prospered as a trading center. Within twenty years, it was the third largest city, behind Boston and New York. A century later it would emerge as the new nation's largest city, first capital, and cradle of the Liberty Bell, Declaration of Independence, and Constitution.
Explanation:
Answer: Camillo Benso, count di Cavour and Giuseppe Garibaldi.
Explanation: both 19th-century politicians (at that time Italy was not unified). Cavour was a prime minister of Sardinian kingdom (1852-1859 and then between 1860 and 1861), he was a monarchist politician and belong to those politicians who attempted to unify Italian territories under the rule of Savoy dynasty. He became internationally recognized politician when waging a Crimean war together with Britain and France.
Giuseppe Garibaldi is considered a representantive figure of Italian <em>risorgimento</em> movement driven by nationalist sentiments of that time. In 1860 he was able to move from Genoa to Sicily, to conquer a kingdom of Two Sicilies (at that time under the rule of Bourbon dynasty) and Umbria. These territories Garibaldi handed in to Savoy dynasty (Victor Emmanuel II). After all these event Italian kingdom was proclaimed in Torino (1861). Garibaldi was born in Nizza (today French city of Nice), so he is - as well as Cavour who was born in Torino - from the extreme west of Italy.
First of all, I would like to mention that Byzantine was a long-lasting empire which rose out at the end of the Roman empire. It was great.
The major accomplishment of Byzantine architecture was The Hagia Sophia. It is located in Istanbul and it roughly took 6 years to complete it.
Good luck :)
