The first war ended in November 11, 1918.
New England colonists felt their win over the allied Native American tribes was a sign from God that they were destined to settle and be prosperous in the Americas. New England settlers used the war as a reason to retaliate against Native Americans and to treat them poorly. The war proved to colonists that the Indians were violent and lacking the ability to be civilized.
King Philip's War was a war against the New England colonists. This war brought together a few tribes with the Wampanoag tribe leading the charge. The tribes were tired of being connected to the English and this was their final attempt to get rid of the English settlers. Some other tribes joined the English in the battles and the English settlers were victorious in the end. Those on the losing side either fled for protection or were enslaved by the colonists. Those remaining from the enemy side were treated poorly and with the leader King Philip being beheaded for his part in the war.
The Assyrians made many technological discoveries. They were the first to use the potter's wheel to make better pottery, they used irrigation to get water to their crops, they used bronze metal (and later iron metal) to make strong tools and weapons, and used looms to weave cloth from wool.
Lyndon Johnson saw his Great Society as a plan to alleviate the poor of the country from the cycle of poverty through reforms that encouraged public education. Most of the Great Society programs focused on education and job training. Jonson created the Department of Transportation and the Department of Housing and Urban Development to help poor towns and improve living conditions, these programs also helped create jobs. Johnson also created "Project Head Start" which was a antipoverty program that sought to improve the performance of the underprivileged in school by creating pre-school programs for children whose parents could not afford local pre-schooling. Johnson also created Medicaid which was a governmental financial assistance program for adults with children with physical or mental handicaps.
Basically he was seriously focused on improving the lives of the poor, to lift them out of poverty ultimately making a "Great Society" where there were no impoverished people, or to a least limit that number to a small amount. He Aimed most of his reforms at this goal...Hoped this helped...
