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>

stellarik [79]

Answer:

<h2>Knights of Labor & Industrial Workers of the World</h2>

1. The vision of the country that underlies the preamble to the Knights of Labor's constitution is an egalitarian society where there is fair distribution of wealth among the population.

2. The preamble evokes a hostile, unfavorable, and one-sided historical relationship between business owners and workers, with business owners much more advantaged in the relationship.

3. The principles of social and cultural upliftment of the working man, the demand for the eight-hour day, organizing across lines of gender and race, and the inclusion of both skilled and unskilled labor in its membership were considered revolutionary at the time.  The reason, is that before the 1880s, workers were not organized and did not make conceited demands on their employers.

4. The preamble of the Industrial Workers of the World, the main reasons for workers' lack of political power was hunger, lack of the good things of life, disunity among workers, and the wage system that was totally capitalistic in nature in favor of the employers or business people.

5.  From the excerpt, it shows that the federal government has a great role in promoting a more balance sharing of power and resources between workers and employers by ensuring that workers are granted some say in how their work is organized, how they are rewarded for their work, and the time they must work in order to enjoy some relaxation and to improve their knowledge.  The federal government, must therefore, institute some regulation to ease the relationship between workers and their employers.

6. The IWW was against the modern wage system because the wage system was based on unbridled capitalism, with unjust wage system that paid varying rates for the same work, did not consider the relevant risks, was undemocratic and exploitative, and divided workers by craft, among other reasons.

Explanation:

According to wikipedia.com, "Knights of Labor (K of L), officially Noble and Holy Order of the Knights of Labor, was an American labor federation active in the late 19th century, especially the 1880s."

The "Industrial Workers of the World (IWW), byname Wobblies, was a labour organization founded in Chicago in 1905 by representatives of 43 groups. The IWW opposed the American Federation of Labor’s acceptance of capitalism and its refusal to include unskilled workers in craft unions," according to britannica insights.
