How did the poor citizens of New York City respond to draft laws?

History
1 answer:
Andre45 [30]3 years ago
6 0
The poor citizens of New York City responded to the draft laws by instigating riots that lasted for four days.

They were in vehement opposition to the military draft acts that allow men from wealthy families to pay a certain amount so avoid being called into service. Also, African-Americans are not considered to be American citizens; thus, they are exempted from being called into military service. Because of this, those who can't afford to pay are called to military service leaving their families to fend for themselves during a time of uncertainty and hardship.

Why might have been the system of philosophy developed by the Greek Philosopher important foe effective leadership?
Neko [114]
In The Republic, Plato outlines his view on leadership through a discussion on civic and political life in the Polis, the Grecian city state. Apart from focusing on the meaning of justice, he also develops a framework on the nature of leadership in an ideal state.

Be a “lover of wisdom,” a cardinal virtue

Plato was dissatisfied with rulers who lacked knowledge and moral strength to act according to the common good – in other words, rulers motivated by self-interest were not strong leaders. Plato proposes instead that states should be governed by philosophers and be a lover of wisdom, which is the meaning of the Greek word, philosophia.

Which situation was a result of the ottoman empires conquest of Constantinople
Masja [62]

The Ottoman's army, led by Sultan Mehmed II, captured the Byzantine Capital, Constantinople, on 1453. The consequences were the death of Constantine XI, the Byzantine emperor, the complete decline of the Roman Empire and the end of the Medieval period.  Among other effects, the event marked a strong impact to Christianism, the rise and spread of Islamism in North Africa, the total Turk control of the trade routes that linked the Black Sea to the Mediterranean and the Greek Christians were forced to escape to Italy, which has been considered a glimpse of the Renaissance.
