Answer:

Why shouldn't we judge historical figures by the standards of our time?

Many of the vices we might rightfully judge a historical society or individual for are largely universal across culture and society.

We should judge them accordingly and learn from their mistakes, but we should also judge them by the degree to which that person or culture rejected those common vices and built something better. This is something quite rare and it’s far more useful as a learning tool for us to focus on this.

For example, the Greeks and Romans practiced slaveryBut so did every other ancient society. What is unique and admirable about the Greeks and Romans is the degree to which they did respect indvidual rights, seriously questioned slavery as an institution, and developed a secular, pro reason culture

What did Zebulon Pike search for in his explorations?
suter [353]

The answer is that Zebulon Pike, the U.S. Army officer who in 1805 led an exploring party in search of the source of the Mississippi River, sets off with a new expedition to explore the American Southwest. Pike was instructed to seek out headwaters of the Arkansas and Red rivers and to investigate Spanish settlements in New Mexico. Pike and his men left Missouri and passed through the present day states of Kansas and Nebraska before reaching Colorado, where he spotted the famous mountains later named in his honor. From there, they traveled down to New Mexico, where they were stopped by Spanish officials and charged with illegal entry into Spanish- held territory. His party was escorted to Santa Fe, then down to Chihuahua, back up through Texas, and finally to the border of the Louisiana Territory, where they were released. Soon after returning to the east, Pike was implicated in a plot with former Vice President Aaron Burr to seize territory in the Southwest for mysterious ends. However, after an investigation, Secretary of State James Madison fully exonerated him. The information he provided about the U.S. territory in Kansas and Colorado was a great impetus for future U.S. settlement, and his reports about the weakness of Spanish authority in the Southwest stirred talk of the future U.S. annexation.
