The rise of a merchant class foreshadow the rise of feudalism.
<h3>What is feudalism?</h3>
It should be noted that feudalism, was the combination of the legal, military, economic, and cultural customs that flourished in medieval Europe between the 9th and 15th centuries.
All of it started to alter with the development of the merchant class. While still ostensibly under the control of their primitive overlords, started to amass enough wealth and influence to require more freedom. Many medieval kings did not join them, but those that did tried to stifle and oppress the burgeoning prosperous shipper class.
Therefore, to whom did the shippers swing? Lord, of course! The monarchs saw this as an opportunity to regain control over their rogue vassals. As this trend continued, it elevated sovereignty to the form of unrestrained governance that emerged as the Middle Ages came to an end. Although it is a distortion, it nevertheless conveys the main idea.

2. The more thinking Part of the Spectators
- "A Witch Trial at Mount Holly" is a satire by Benjamin Franklin.
- The story is fake and serves only to criticize faith based on superstitions and prejudice.
- A man and a woman are accused of witchcraft. To make sure that they are guilty, they are placed in the water to drown.
- They are not the only ones, however. Even innocent people are in the water in order to make sure that the trial is fair and the method of drowning works.
- However, <u>no one sinks</u>. And, if everyone swims, that should mean <u>everyone is guilty</u>.
- Intelligent people <u>who are watching it all happen can see that it is not going to work</u>. The way people are bound and placed in the water will allow all of them to swim.
- With that, Franklin is basically saying that those responsible for the trial are not intelligent people.

“I should be glad, if I could flatter myself that I came as near to the central idea of the occasion, in two hours, as you did in two minutes.”
In one of the first posts on this blog, I compared Lincoln’s two-minute address with the two-hour oration by Edward Everett on the same occasion. Today the former is universally regarded as one of the most famous speeches in American history; the latter is largely forgotten. Indeed, Everett himself recognized the genius of Lincoln’s speech in a note that he sent to the President shortly after the event:
Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
