During the 19th century, America had a strong reluctance to become involved in other countries alliances and affairs. Isolationists in America argued that the US had a different philosophy than European countries and the US should defend freedom and democracy by not being involved in such things.
During the Spanish-American War, the US remained isolated and the country fought the war without alliances and without fighting in Europe. But the mindset started to change since the motto of freedom and democracy was substituted by the US bringing an empire in the Caribbean and in the Pacific - the US had influence in the Phillippines, Puerto Rico and Guam -.
President Roosevelt had the big stick policy, he believed that the US should export its values and become a global power. At the same time, he defended that the US should avoid conflicts. President Roosevelt ended the isolationism in the US and started the modern American philosophy of acting aggressively in foreign affairs even without the support of the Congress.
The effects of Bacon's Rebellion were that Governor Berkeley returned to power, seizing the property of several rebels and hanging over 20 men. Berkeley soon was relieved of the governorship though, and sent back to England. Indentured servants both black and white had joined the frontier rebellion
<span>A DEO REX , A rege lex- the king is from God and law is from the king - James 1st. This quotation best reflects the concept of DIVINE RIGHT RULE.
They believe that because the king is from God, the laws that the king makes is also from God and has divine approval.</span>
A shy, awkward child, starved for recognition and love, Eleanor Roosevelt grew into a woman with great sensitivity to the underprivileged of all creeds, races and nations. Her constant work to improve their lot made her one of the most loved - and for some years one of the most reviled - women of her generation.
She was born in New York City on October 11, 1884, daughter of Anna Hall and Elliott Roosevelt, the younger brother of Theodore. When her mother died in 1892, the children went to live with Grandmother Hall. Eleanor's adored father died only two years later. Attending school in England gave her, at 15, her first chance to develop confidence among other girls.
Tall, slender, graceful of figure but afraid of being a wall-flower, she returned for a debut that she dreaded. In her circle of friends was a distant cousin, Franklin Delano Roosevelt. They became engaged in 1903 and were married in 1905. Her uncle the president gave the bride away. Within eleven years Eleanor bore six children; one son died in infancy.
In Albany, where Franklin served in the state Senate from 1910 to 1913, Eleanor started her long career as political helpmate. When he was stricken with poliomyelitis in 1921, she tended him devotedly. To keep his interest in politics alive, she became active in the women's division of the State Democratic Committee. She dedicated her life to Franklin's purposes. She became eyes and ears for him, a trusted and tireless reporter.
When Mrs. Roosevelt came to the White House in 1933, she understood social conditions better than any of her predecessors, and she transformed the role of first lady. Never shirking her duties as hostess, she broke precedent to hold press conferences, travel to all parts of the country, give lectures and radio broadcasts, and express her opinions candidly in a daily syndicated newspaper column, "My Day." This made her a target for political enemies, but her integrity, her graciousness and her sincerity of purpose endeared her to many. As she had written wistfully at age 14, "no matter how plain a woman may be if truth & loyalty are stamped upon her face all will be attracted to her."
After President Roosevelt's death in 1945, Eleanor returned to their Hyde Park estate, telling reporters: "the story is over." Within a year, however, she began her service as American spokeswoman in the United Nations. She continued a vigorous career until her strength began to wane in 1962. She died in New York City that November, and was buried at Hyde Park beside her husband.

The first positive impact of
Islam in the world can be seen in the encouragement of Muslims to the pursuit
of knowledge, as prophet Mohammed said, the best form of worship is the pursuit
of knowledge.
Islam is the only religion that
has raised the prestige of women from one of the poorly humiliated creature, to
that of a respectful being possessing equal rights to man. Under the wrong
ideological concept of child marriage by the non-Muslims, the Muslims have been
criticized by the western media but in fact there is no concept of child
marriage in Islam and such incidents are purely restricted to few old customed
tribes.
<span>slam abolished the barriers which
had isolated these countries from each other, so that the whole area now had
one religious tradition and one literary and scientific language. The cultural
unity also ensured free passage and free trade from China in the east to Spain
in the west. Scientists and men of letters were free to travel, and crossed
vast distances to meet other scholars.</span>
