6 0

Jefferson was worried about the idea of having as a neighbor in the west a strong France in place of a weak Spain. Jefferson ordered Robert R. Livingston, The American minister to France to explore the idea of buying New Orleans and West Florida. He let certain letters to fall in hands of French agents that hinted at a joint U.S.-British attack on Louisiana. Napoleon also needed money to finance the war against Great Britain, and feared that once the war began the US would take advantage of this and try to seize Louisiana.

What parallels do you see between the role of thinkers, scientists, and artists in ancient Rome and in America today? Why do you
exis [7]
I discovered that a key moment in Roman history was a very little-discussed raid by pirates on the Port of Rome at Ostia.

Rome was at that point the dominant world superpower, and there was no state in the world that would ever have dared to attack Rome. But the Romans were attacked by a group of stateless desperados who set fire to the Port. The flames may well have been visible in Rome itself. And this sent a shockwave through Rome, because if pirates could strike that close to the imperial capital, nowhere was safe.

And in this panicky atmosphere - an atmosphere of panic, I might say, which was deliberately whipped up by ambitious politicians - the Roman people took a series of fatal steps, surrendering some of their liberties and some of their control over their government. And in doing so, they sewed the seeds of the destruction of their own democracy.

And the more I looked at that event, the more it seemed familiar to me and the parallel with 9/11 - and in particular the response to it.
