The New World
As the dust clears, a horrible landscape shows itself to anyone who is still alive to see it. World War III has ended only to leave in it's wake the bleak carnage and destruction of hundreds of nuclear weapons. The planet lay riddled with huge craters full of the remnants of our civilization. In all directions as far as the eye could see, huge piles of rubble and masonry mixed with the human dead. All around, nothing can be heard but the silence of an empty world. The crackling fires and collapsing buildings make the silence more ominous than the voice of Satan himself. Has the world finally come to total annihilation? Has all human life ceased to exist? How could something like this...Wait?! What is that? Could it be? Yes, out of the low floating dust cloud, through the smoke of the fires, over the wreckage of once busy cities, man lives!Around the world, survivors began to gather in small groups. Just the sight of another live person was enough to give each one hope. By way of underground telecommunications, it was discovered that there were exactly one hundred survivors sparsely scattered throughout the world. Upon finding the few remaining aircraft and sea vessels, all one hundred survivors were
The eight leadership positions have now been filled. There are still four people from history who did not get chosen. Margaret Sanger would not have been a good leader in the New World because she focused on making sure all women used birth control (http://gale.com/gale/gwh/sangerm.html). In the New World, there are only one hundred people. Reproduction is going to be crucial to the survival of the human race. Dorothea Dix would not have made a good leader in the New World because she mainly fought for the poor conditions of jails and insane asylums (http://www.glueumd.edu/~cligwp/bios/ddbio.html/). Hopefully, a mere one hundred people will be able to get along and there should be no reason to need jails or asylums. John Brown would not have made a good leader in the New World because he believed that "everyone should be free to do what they feel" (Iger). In order to start a New World, people will have to work together, not do their own thing. Robert Frost would not have been a good choice as one of the New World leaders because he was an extremely shy person (Thompson). Frost was easily embarrassed and tried his best to stay out of the public eye (Thompson). Frost was also a homosexual (Thompson). Reproducing in the New World was crucial to the continuation of the human race. Someone who was so loved by his people would be the perfect person to head the Department of Human Relations. The Secretary of Treasury needs to be someone with good financial habits and a keen understanding of the economic system. The most qualified person for this job would be Alexander Hamilton. The survivors chose Alexander Hamilton because he was exceptionally knowledgeable about the government and the way the world works ("Alexander Hamilton"). Hamilton was an excellent writer and had developed good work habits. The New World would need Hamilton to take care of all the money and establish a stable economic system. In the past, Alexander Hamilton was the man who came up with the proposal for the National Bank ("Alexander Hamilton"). If he could start a bank then, he would be able to do it again. Alexander Hamilton's strong financial awareness make him the best qualified for the job of Secretary of Treasury. People in the New World will probably want some kind of religion. In order for everyone to agree on a religion, someone will have to organize it. For this job, the survivors chose Anne Hutchinson. Being the oldest of thirteen children, Anne Hutchinson was often called on to help raise the other twelve (http://www.gale.com/gale/gwh/hutchin.html). At a young age, her father taught her to read the Bible. The survivors liked the fact that she had known religion all her life. Hutchinson joined others with her beliefs and their actions increased religious freedom in the American colonies (http://www.gale.com/gale/gwh/hutchin.html). Anne Hutchinson's main belief was that "everyone was a sinner and you can only be saved by complete faith in God" (http://www.gale.com/gale/gwh/hutchin.html). Because of her loyalty to God, Anne Hutchinson would make the best leader of the Church. able to gather at Kennedy Space Center in Florida. It was decided that life could not continue to exist on Earth. There were
