As Jefferson told Lewis, "it will now be proper you should inform those through whose country you will pass . . . that henceforth we become there fathers and friends." When Euro-Americans and Indians met, they used ancient diplomatic protocols that included formal language, ceremonial gifts, and displays of military power. But behind these symbols and rituals there were often very different ways of understanding power and authority. Such differences sometimes made communication across the cultural divide difficult and open to confusion and misunderstanding. An important organizing principle in Euro-American society was hierarchy. Both soldiers and civilians had complex gradations of rank to define who gave orders and who obeyed. While kinship was important in the Euro-American world, it was even more fundamental in tribal societies. Everyone's power and place depended on a complex network of real and symbolic relationships. When the two groups met--whether for trade or diplomacy--each tried to reshape the other in their own image. Lewis and Clark sought to impose their own notions of hierarchy on Indians by "making chiefs" with medals, printed certificates, and gifts. Native people tried to impose the obligations of kinship on the visitors by means of adoption ceremonies, shared names, and ritual gifts. 9.  Which of the following was not one of the main objective of Lewis and Clark expedition? a. Creating friendly ties with the native Indians b. To study plants and animal life c. To find a waterway that will connect east to the west d. To educate the illiterate tribal people   Please provide appropriate updations Ques Which of the following was not one of the main objective of Lewis and Clark expedition? a. b. c. d.

The first child labor law (1836) was passed, whereby employment of children under the age of 15 was forbidden in incorporated factories, unless they had attended school for three months the prior year of their employment. The commonwealth's chief justice, Lemuel Shaw, ruled in the case of Commonwealth v. Hunt (1842), that a trade union was lawful and that its members were not collectively responsible for the illegal acts committed by individuals. Shaw also ruled that a strike for a closed shop was legal. As farmers' sons, discharged soldiers and a new wave of immigrants hit the industrialized cities in America, new labor problems arose. Newly educated women, schooled by one of the seven new women's colleges or private boarding schools between 1861 and 1880, joined the overabundance of workers in practically every occupation (except for stevedoring and the building trades) and in nearly every profession (except for the police and the ministry). 11.  What is the main idea of this passage? a.

Roosevelt won the Election of 1932 and promised a "New Deal" for the American people. In the administration's first One Hundred Days a series of measures was presented dealing with banking, unemployment, farm policy and business reform. Later programs were enacted to deal with social security and collective bargaining. The Election of 1936 was regarded as a referendum on both FDR and the New Deal. In 1937, the President was engaged in a Supreme Court fight. The New Deal provoked critics and admirers, both in the 1930s and in the years thereafter. In foreign affairs, Roosevelt pledged the United States to be a "good neighbor" to Latin America while strong sentiment for isolationism grew as problems deepened in Europe and Asia. Pacifism was effectively ended by the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941, and Japanese Americans were faced with internment. America's entry into World War II necessitated mobilization efforts on a massive scale. Military action occurred in the Pacific, North Africa, Europe and the North Atlantic. 14.  What was promised by Franklin D. Roosevelt in the New Deal?   a. Reforms in business and trade b.
