Benjamin Franklin (1706-90), born in Boston, left school at the age of ten to assist his father. Franklin was self-taught intellectual, reading Xenophon, Plutarch, Bunyan, Locke, etc., which gave him the social mobility working in a printing shop, and later having his own printing shop. Franklin had a famous publication called "Poor Richard's Almanack", he made discoveries in the science of electrostatics and he was a member of the Federal Constitutional Convention. Thanks to literacy, Franklin became an accomplished and important man in the history of the United States.

svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

By December 1863, states such as Arkansas, Tennessee, and Louisiana had been cleared of rebels. Accordingly, the question arose about the organization of a civil government in them and the inclusion of these states in the Union. Therefore, on December 8, 1863, Abraham Lincoln published the Amnesty Proclamation, which became the first plan for the Reconstruction of the former rebel states. According to the document, if in the former rebel state, 10 percent of the citizens able to vote as of 1860 took an oath of allegiance to the Union (including Confederate servicemen with a rank lower than colonel), then they could choose the legislature and the governor subject to the legislative abolition of slavery. Thus, the plan called for a Reconstruction under presidential control, relying on the constitutional right of the president to grant pardon. It can be assumed that, putting forward such a plan for Reconstruction, Abraham Lincoln intended, on the one hand, to protect the freedom of former slaves in the newly acquired states, and, on the other, to attract rebels tired of the war to the Union, guaranteeing them full restoration of their rights after taking the oath of allegiance to the Union.

What did the three authors Edward Bellamy, Henry George, and Thorstein Veblen have in common?
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

B. They all believed that the industrial age was bad for America

Explanation:

The industrialization in the United States had a lot of supporters, including ordinary people, authors, politicians, as it seems that it leads the country in a good direction. There were also critics to the industrialization, such as Edward Bellamy, Henry George, and Thorstein Velben. Even though the three of them had different ideas, they all had something in common, which was seeing the industrial age as a bad thing to the United States. The reason for this was mostly that they didn't liked the development of capitalism, as they thought that it will create a very large gap between the few rich and all the rest, thus shift the power only in the hands of few people. They were much more fond of the ideas of the socialism, and they thought that the socialism will create a much more equal and fair environment for the development and well being of everyone.
