The answer is Vasco De Gama.
Answer: He was intelligent enough to lead from the rear, thereby protecting himself from an early death
Explanation:
Part of the success of the conquests of Alexander the Great was down to the complete loyalty and respect his men had for him. This was down to him leading them with empathy. For instance, when their horses died and soldiers had to walk, he would walk with them and if food was scarce, he would go hungry with his men.
Perhaps the most evident act of this leadership style was Alexander in battle. He preferred to lead his men from the front especially the cavalry instead of hiding and commanding behind them. This way he not only inspired his troops but was able to see the battle in real time and make adjustments if necessary.
<u>Answer:</u> False
<u>Explanation:</u> The imposition of the 18th Amendment had more to do with social activism than with stereotypes.
Distilled and fermented liquors were brought from Europe for many reasons. Alcohol was considered healthy and medicinal, used for killing pain and soothing indigestion. It was also known as a curative and invigorating beverage. Some people even preferred drinking cider or beer instead of drinking water, since water in America was muddy and dirty.
However, drunkenness was condemned and punished, a signal of weakness. It was associated with domestic violence, family neglection, unemployment, and psychologic problems. In that scenario, a movement flourished defending moderation or temperance. Many leaders came up in different states, all of them influenced by Benjamin Rush’s tract of 1785. At first, those movements were small and segmented, but in 1825 the American Temperance Society was formed and unified many of those small groups. It had the support of both Catholic and Protestant churches and, as the years passed by, it split along two lines: radicals who defended total abstinence, and moderates who allowed some drinking. The Society continued pushing the states’ legislatures to enact statewide prohibition of alcohol, reasoning that such prohibition would decrease the number of unemployment and violence, at the same time that it would increase productivity. Because of this pressure, in 1919 the Eighteenth Amendment was established, declaring the production, transport, and sale of intoxicating liquors forbidden.
The 18th Amendment was repealed in 1933 mainly because of the profit that the government could have by taxing imported wines, gin, rum, and whiskey.
