Answer:
The Confederacy seized Val Verde, continued up the Rio Grande, and within weeks, captured Albuquerque and Santa Fe before stopping at the Battle of Glorieta Pass on March 28.
Explanation: The Confederacy's goal was to take Union mines for their treasury and claim territory they thought was rightfully theirs. They moved in on southern New Mexico and captured many towns. They later surround the fort, beating all possible odds. The Union soldiers are forced to retreat with 68 killed, 160 wounded and 35 missing. The "Rebels" (Another term used to address the Confederates) only suffered 31 killed, 154 wounded, and 1 missing. A bloody battle to say the least.
Correct answer: Social Contract theory (economic form)
Roads and highways are built by governments (local, state and federal), and we support road building and repairs through taxes we pay. This is an economic social contract. The "social contract" refers to an implicit agreement between a government and the citizens of the society overseen by that government.
Philosophers of the Enlightenment era were famous for arguing the idea of a "social contract." According to this view, a government's power to govern comes from the consent of the people themselves -- those who are to be governed. This was a change from the previous ideas of "divine right monarchy" -- that a king ruled because God appointed him to be the ruler. One of the most influential of the social contract theorists was John Locke, who repudiated the views of divine right monarchy in his <em>First Treatise on Civil Government.</em> In his <em>Second Treatise on Civil Government</em>, Locke then argued for the rights of the people to create their own governments according to their own desires and for the sake of protecting and enhancing their own life, liberty, and property. Preserving and enhancing roads and infrastructure, supported by taxes paid, is an example of this sort of economic agreement within the social contract under which we live.

Answer:
Because it emphasized human reason, the Enlightenment led to the establishment of colleges and libraries in Europe and America. These institutions usually served a tiny elite, but newspapers and pamphlets made science and literature available to the masses.
What was striking is that some African Americans, whose advantages were far more limited, also became scientists and authors.
Most African Americans who gained intellectual distinction during the late eighteenth century owned more to the Great Awakening than to the Enlightenment. The best known of these is Jupiter Hammon, a Long Island slave who published religious poetry in the 1760s. But Phillis Wheatley and Benjamin Banneker, who were directly influenced by the Enlightenment, became the most famous black intellectuals of their time.
