Cowboys had trouble with math answers because they were not studious people. Most of them did not even know how to read. Some of them were mercenaries or thieves, others live on a farm and all they did was work on the field and feed the animals, but did not go to school because they started to work on the farm when they were kids so all they knew was how to use tools, how to work the land and how to treat of the animals, and that was all. They had trouble because they did not work out their minds by readind books or writting.
Well the Declaration of Independence was signed 1776, so the US had just formed a new nation. Therefore there were challenge that came with forming a new nation - creating a government. They first had the Articles of Confederation but that didn't give the central government enough power, so they drafted the Constitution, which gave more power to the federal government. Some people opposed the Constitution (Anti-federalists). So in the late 1700's political factions also formed with the birth of a new nation.
The abolitionists wanted an immediate ban of slavery.
Hope this helps! :)
You can check in Acts 13:5 that John, or Mark, was accompanying Paul and Barnabas. John eventually left them though, as it can be seen in Acts 13:13.
<em>"From Paphos, Paul and his companions sailed to Perga in Pamphylia, where John left them to return to Jerusalem" </em>
When Paul and Barnabas planned another trip, Barnabas wanted John to accompany them, but Paul refused. He did not want someone who left them. Because of that, they went separated ways. Paul went with Silas, Barnabas with Mark.
When Paul wrote a epistle to the Colossians, he included a commendation of Mark in (as you can see in Colossians 4:10). It most likely means that the earlier contention was eventually resolved.
