Throghout his life as a journalist, Grady managed several papers in the South and became an influential political figure in that with his arguments and easiness of conviction, he was able to push forward the nominations and candidacies of several of his fellow political members at the Atlanta Ring, a group of proindustry Democrats who believed firmly in the ideals of the New South. Grady firmly believed in the need to promote industrial investment from the North, a reinitiation of the Southern industries, a change in the trust between North and South to increase investment. When he returned to Atlanta, Grady dedicated himself to underlining the magnificence of Atlanta as a center over Macon, Athens and Augusta. Despite the favorable effects that Grady had to improve the economical growth of Georgia, but most importantly of Atlanta, he was highly critized by his peers and fellow Georgians for exposing the South with his ideas and policies to the control and subjugation of the North, selling the South to the North and inviting oppression on Souther farmers. He was also critized for attempting to show the North a more bening stand on the issue of freed slaves and slavery. Grady died on December of 1889.

What idea from the Mayflower Compact influenced the Declaration of Independence?
Nitella [24]

Answer: Government should be for the common good, not just for a few people.

Explanation:

The Pilgrims came to America escaping from the Church of England, where access to the government was limited to a select group of people, based on wealth or lineage.

In opposition to that, the Mayflower Compact established that the American government, although not yet independent from the English crown, would be meant to represent the common good, and this idea had a strong influence in the Declaration of Independence.
