Since 1923 a rock found with inscriptions have been studied. The symbols look just like Viking Runes that would sustain the theory that Vigings have been to America long before Columbus. The theory is however contested by experts, some of which thinks that itis a hoax. The rock is known as "the Heavener Runestone".
the Democratic Republicans
Democratic Republicans believed in state power over the federal government and the ability of states to ignore unjust laws. In the case of the Whiskey Rebellion, farmers rebelled against a tax on whiskey. They believed it was the right as citizens to refuse to pay a federal tax because they didn't believe in the tax and weren't fairly represented. The rebellion was met by federal troops and a statement of federal supremacy.
Democratic-Republicans formed under the leadership of Thomas Jefferson. The party had roots in the ideas of Anti-Federalists during the Constitutional Convention. The Democratic-Republicans believed the Constitution should be followed strictly and as stated. They also supported states rights over the federal government. In addition they opposed the National Bank and any institutions that gave the federal government power.
the scientific revolution lead to new machines and ways of doing things which would, in a way that is self-explanatory, lead to the industrial revolution.
