                                 The Enlightenment

          The Enlightenment are ideas from philosophers like John Locke, Thomas Hobbs, Baron de Mantesque, and Jean-Jacque Rousseau; just some philosophers that contributed to the idea. The idea that everyone is born with natural rights and that they can not just be given to certain people. Also that the government should be divided into three branches: 1)legislative 2)excutive 3)judicial, because having one ruler, he can become corrupted and take advantiage of the situation and make the country broke and in risk. So, the Enlightenment gave that sort of organization you can say to make the government perspective a more organized and controlled environment to keep order and for the world not to turn corrupt.

John Rolfe and Pocahontas
Name is John Rolfe, I am one of the first English settlers to step foot in North America. Many people can say that i can be arragent but i call it being confident and but having to be hard headed in order to accomplish what i have done. Being the first succsessful cultivationist of tobacco, also being the first to export it to the colony of Virginia. I married the lovely beautiful Pocahontas, also many may say that she was forced to marry me, but we fell in love after her helping me and my exploration: she would translate within tribes. Although, spain had said they would kill anyone that would have seeds to grow tabacco, especailly being non-spainsh, that still did not stop be from trading and making money out of growing and selling tabacco. With my cultivation it helped export cash crop that helped make the Virginia Colony profitable. I was a big impact in history that i got a road named after myself, "The John Rolfe Road".
