Why would smith add on to his earlier story?

History

denpristay [2]3 years ago

 <span>The story goes that Smith was kidnapped by the Algonquian chief Wahunsonacock, or Powhatan, for four weeks , during which he survived a form of life or death trial in which , if it is to be believed , his life was saved by Powhatan`s 11- year old daughter , Pocahontas , Smith claimed he was released because of the child`s intervention . After his release he became president of the Jamestown council and was then injured by a gunpowder burn and returned to England . How much truth is in the story I cannot say . 

However , Pocahontas is supposed to have become a regular visitor to the settlement , even bringing them gifts of food to help them survive . In 1613 she in turn was kidnapped by one, Captain Samuel Argall he his said to have held her at ransom , demanding the return of English prisoners and stolen firearms . While Pocahontas was in captivity she was baptized a Christian as `Lady Rebecca` and married a tobacco planter named John Rolfe , in 1616 she came to England and was presented at the court of King James , she died of a fatal illness whilst in England in 1617 aged 22 and is buried in Gravesend Kent . If Pocahontas was a regular visitor to the settlement and was treated well by the settlers , perhaps this might bear out Smith`s story , there must be some reason why she was so well received and married into the community . I think on balance it is highly probable that Smith may well have added to his account , perhaps for personal glory , or possibly because he saw a chance to become leader of the settlement by convincing the others that he had some kind of understanding or rapport with the Indian`s . This of course can only be speculation , the truth is lost in the mist of time</span>

What are three common elements amongst the french revolution and the american revolution?
Anna11 [10]
The American and French Revolutions were fought several years and an ocean apart.  However, they feature enough similarities that some people initially consider them “mirror struggles.”  After all, there are some easy comparisons:  both revolutions occurred in the later eighteenth century.  Both subverted an existing, monarchical government.   Finally, both created ripe conditions for constitutionalism and deep patriotism.

But dig more deeply, and you’ll find that this “same revolution, different continent” concept is not as tidy as it initially appears. Further similarities between the two revolutions are just different enough to produce profound distinctions between the two revolutions.  Although most scholars believe that the two revolutions influenced one another (as well as had profound worldwide impact), each revolution is a very distinct and singular struggle for freedom, identity, and an improved way of life.

Why did the framers wanted to have majority rule but also protect the rights of the minority?
Valentin [98]

The framers wanted to have majority rule because it is the basic principle of democracy.

<em>Democracy is a system where people vote to elect their governors, and the majority votes win, in democracy the majority of people have the power to decide which candidate wins. So without majority rule there would not be democracy. </em>

The framers also wanted to protect the rights of the minority to prevent that a majority rule would lead to abuse of power and oppress the minority.<em> The Bill of Rights written by James Madison protects the minority rights in the Constitution</em>, so the majority has to respect those basic rights when passing laws and making decisions and the minority has the power to someday become the majority, making democracy work.
