How did Lewis And Clark Prepare For Their Journey West

History
1 answer:
Vaselesa [24]3 years ago
6 0

Before his inauguration on March 4, 1801, President Thomas Jefferson asked

Meriwether Lewis, a 29-year-old career officer in the U.S. Army, to join him in

the White House as his personal secretary. Jefferson knew Lewis and Lewis's

family, as they were neighbors of his Monticello, Virginia, estate. Lewis, a

staunch Jeffersonian Democrat, tested the loyalty of top Army officers to the

President and reported back to Jefferson. Lewis was sent with sensitive

messages to the ministers of foreign powers, and generally assisted the

President. But most of all Lewis listened. Lewis absorbed Jefferson's ideas on

geography, science, politics, American Indians, and diplomacy. It seems that

Lewis was being groomed to lead Jefferson's expedition into the West.

In your opinion why was Nelson Mandela successful in his activism in South Africa
liubo4ka [24]

Answer:Nelson Mandela was successful in his activism in South Africa

Explanation-Nelson Mandela is looked a a godly figure for helping end apartheid in South Africa using nonviolent acts.But many people don’t know that Nelson Mandela has a dark side,same as Martin Luther king and ghandi.Nelson Mandela was for decades a man of violence.he broke with African National Congress colleagues who preached non-violence,creating a enemy wing.he also committed acts of public violence,and behind bars sanctioned more,including the 1983 Church St car bomb that ended 19 people lives.Mandela even suggested cutting off the noses of blacks deemed collaborators.His then wife Winnie advocated "necklacing"(a burning tyre around the neck.)Ghandi was a pedofile and a child hurter,he was seen godlike so he got away with this.he used to lay under his kids NAKED.Martin Luther King,King had copied paragraphs wholesale from other sources without attributing them in his dissertation(plagiarism),on the tapes wasn’t communist plotting,however,but intense, nearly constant activities with countless women he met on his travels.King eventually struck the unnamed woman hard enough to knock her across the bed, and that she left soon after.These “godlike” people aren’t godlike even if they did so much for people.They still got away with so much just because they have power.I’m not saying they are good,but I’m not saying they are bad.In my opinion,power like people like Nelson,always have a dark side,you just have to do your research right because they don’t teach you stuff like this in school.

Why might new inventions such as the telescope and microscope change the way people sawvthe world
SSSSS [86.1K]
The main way in which inventions such as the telescope and microscope changed the way people saw world is that the former invention allowed them to see into space, which gave a much better representation of Earth's place in the Universe--while the latter invention allowed people to see microorganisms and things like cells, which allowed them to better understand life on earth.

Read President Herbert Hoover's Annual Message to
fomenos

Answer:

Again, just as the largest measure of responsibility in the government of the nation rests upon local self-government so does the largest measure of social responsibility in our country rest upon the individual.

Our system, based upon the ideals of individual initiative and of equality of opportunity, is not an artificial thing. Rather it is the outgrowth of experience of America, and expresses the faith and spirit of our people.

Explanation:

"Rugged individualism" is the term that defends the idea that citizens should be responsible for their own success and for the harmony and comfort of the region in which they live, and the State should not interfere, or interfere very little in what is related to that responsibility.

In short, the term removes government responsibility for the welfare and success of the individuals it governs. This term was widely used by President Herbert Hoover and can be seen in the two sentences shown above.
