Answer:

The danger of optimism is to see things in a way they are not. It is dangerous because t can't fool someone into thinking things are working out when they are not.

Skepticism can lead to apathy. When a person does not believe in what other people say they cannot relate to one and other. A extreme skeptical postition would lead no a very difficult way of leaving.

Candice at first sustained a very optimistic position, and after all the tragedes he started being skeptcical to the optmisitc position. This allowed her to questioned what he believed before.

Explanation:

Candide is an example of an optimistic person. A lot of terrible things happened to him and to his loved ones, and despite that, he still believed things are good. Loosing his friends and being beat up among other things. He wanted to believe in Pantagon's theory of optimism and he did, until he couldn't any more.

After some time in the plot, reason comes to him and he thinks of optimism as a mania of seening good when things are actually pretty bad.

Candice is a innocent and naive person, his optimism made him like this. An extreme optimistic position can lead to a naive postition in life.

Which two statements are true about the members of the Creek tribe after the Civil War?
Neporo4naja [7]

These two statements are true about the Creek Tribe after the Civil War:  

1)They focused on rebuilding and reestablishing schools and churches.

2)They wrote a new constitution to attempt to bring peace and unity to the tribe.

The Civil War was disastrous for the Creek Nation (also known as the Muscogee people), even though the majority of the tribe wished to be neutral. The first three battles of the war in Indian Territory happened when Confederate forces attacked a large and neutral band led by Opothle Yahola. Eventually, hundreds of Creek men fought on both the Union and Confederate sides. After the war ended, the reconstruction treaty of 1866 required the cession of approximately half of the Muscogee land , almost 3.2 million acres.

The Creek nation began a period of regeneration after the war. Public buildings, schools and churches were built, including the Creek National Capital building (1867) in Okmulgee, now the Creek Council House Museum, included in the National Register of Historic Places.In 1867, the Muscogee people adopted a written constitution, which provided for a Principal Chief and a Second Chief, a judicial branch, and two legislative chambers composed of a House of Kings (similar to the Senate) and a House of Warriors (similar to the House of Representatives.) Representation in both houses of this Legislative assembly was determined by each tribal town. A new capitol city was established the same year at Okmulgee. In 1878 the tribal government build a native stone Council House. Today, its serves as the Council House Museum in the center of the modern city of Okmulgee.
