Benjamin Briggs

Two of the theories are everyone was killed by Captain Briggs and was killed by Captain Morehouse (“Mary Celeste”). However, these theories are false because there was no blood or bloody weapons found on board (“The Mary Celeste Fact Not Fiction”). Another theory is that the crew was attacked by pirates (“Mary Celeste”). This theory is false because there was no blood found on the ship and the alcohol cargo and the crew members’ belongings were found undisturbed (“Mary Celeste”). Another theory is that the entire crew was swept overboard and eaten by sharks (“Mary Celeste – Mary Celeste, the Most Intriguing and Enduring Mystery in the Annals of Maritime History”).

Revolutions of Interest Gordon Wood and Gary Nash offered two different claims about the radical ideas of the American Revolution and who had them. Wood proposed the revolution derived from the more elite in society, wealthier land owning white men. It was between Patriots and Courtiers. Courtiers were those who wished to maintain the rule of Great Britain, in order that social position should derive from the King and aristocracy. While Patriots desired talent and merit, along with recognition…

Benjamin Franklin achieved his intellectual and literary proficiency in the Eighteenth Century during the Age of Reason, with the multitude of philosophical advances that reflected heavily on the content and style of his work. He was no stranger to the works of John Locke, Montesquieu, and Voltaire, and his writing echoed those found also in the literature of the period.

However, the concept of self is not yet dead in neuroscience like Wolfe predicted. Rather, more recent research suggests that free will stemming from a…

Not only did Franklin have a scientific life, but he also has a political life. Although first a strong supporter of the English crown and Parliament, Franklin later becomes a powerful and important contributor to the American Revolution. This paper will argue that Franklin’s reason for his shift is simply because of Great Britain’s…

(Cavendish) Among the brominated people that had played prominent parts in the revolution were many of the founding fathers. The founding fathers such as George Washington, James Madison, and Thomas Jefferson still had another key factor to play in this newly developing nation. America was made for the most part of farmers. They had plantations, farms, and almost everyone had a vegetable garden. Gardens helped the American people to provide for themselves on plantations, to also have fresh…
