They established schools to teach not just the essentials-reading, writing and math- but also to reinforce their core values. After the American Revolution, Thomas Jefferson argued that the newly independent nation needed an educational system, and he suggested that tax dollars be used to fund it.

At what points on the frontier did Pontiac fail to achieve his goals?
NISA [10]

Answer:

1. When his plans were divulged to the British Major Henry Gladwin

2. When British expeditors entered Pontiac's camp on July 31.

3. In 1764 when the British Colonels succeeded at a peace agreement with the Native Indians

4.  When Pontiac was unable to get support from France and ended up signing a treaty with Britain in 1766.

Explanation:

Pontiac began his mission to reclaim, the lands captured by the British after the Seven Years War between Britain and France. He was not happy with the style of rulership by the British people for he felt that they were too hard on them. That was why he set out on a mission to convince the Native Indians to join him in his quest to reclaim their forts from the British people.

He was however unable to achieve his mission for several reasons which began with the divulging of his plans to the British Camp. The British people were able to gain entrance into his camp and weakened their forces. The also made peace agreements with the Native Americans. All of these weakened Pontiac's goals and then he finally yielded when he signed a treaty with Britain in 1766.

Why did Thomas Hobbes view did not work in the 1600? How and why it could work today?
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

Hobbes was an English philosopher whose political philosophy dominated the 17th century and continues to have a major influence today.

Thomas Hobbes was born in Malmesbury, Wiltshire, on 5 April 1588, the son of a clergyman. His father left the family in 1604 and never returned, so a wealthy uncle sponsored Hobbes' education at Oxford University.

In 1608, Hobbes became tutor to William Cavendish, later earl of Devonshire. The Cavendish family were to be Hobbes' patrons throughout his life. In 1610, Cavendish and Hobbes travelled to Europe together, visiting Germany, France and Italy. After Cavendish died, Hobbes obtained another position but later became tutor to Cavendish's son. During these years he travelled to Europe twice more, meeting leading thinkers including the astronomer Galileo Galilei and the philosopher Rene Descartes.

In 1640, with England on the brink of civil war, the Royalist Hobbes fled to Paris, fearing the reaction of the Long Parliament to his writing. He remained in exile for 11 years. Between 1646 and 1648, Hobbes was a mathematics tutor to Charles, Prince of Wales (the future Charles II) who was also in exile.

In 1651, Hobbes' best-known work 'Leviathan' or, 'The Matter, Form, and Power of a Commonwealth Ecclesiastical and Civil' was published. For Hobbes, the only way for man to lift himself out of his natural state of fear and violence was to give up his freedom and make a social contract with others to accept a central authority. Hobbes felt that a monarchy provided the best authority. He also argued that as sovereign power was absolute, the sovereign must also be head of the national religion. He was, as a result, hostile to the Roman Catholic Church.

This made him unpopular with the French authorities and in 1651 he returned to England. He continued to write, producing works on mathematics and physics as well as philosophy, and engaging in academic disputes. In 1660, his former pupil returned to England as Charles II and granted Hobbes a pension.

In 1666, parliament ordered 'Leviathan' to be investigated for atheist tendencies. Hobbes was terrified of being labelled a heretic and burned many of his papers. Charles II interceded on his behalf, but the condition seems to have been that Hobbes published nothing further on overtly political subjects.

In 1672, Hobbes published an autobiography in Latin verse and translations of the 'Iliad' and the 'Odyssey' in 1675-1676. He died on 4 December 1679 at Hardwick Hall in Derbyshire, one of the Cavendish family's homes.
