Answer 2

Chief Joseph
Nez Pierce (1840-1904)

Chief Joseph, known by his people as In-mut-too-yah-lat-lat (Thunder coming up over the land from the water), was best known for his resistance to the U.S. Government's attempts to force his tribe onto reservations. The Nez Perce were a peaceful nation spread from Idaho to Northern Washington. The tribe had maintained good relations with the whites after the Lewis and Clark expedition. Joseph spent much of his early childhood at a mission maintained by Christian missionaries.
In 1855 Chief Joseph's father, Old Joseph, signed a treaty with the U.S. that allowed his people to retain much of their traditional lands. In 1863 another treaty was created that severely reduced the amount of land, but Old Joseph maintained that this second treaty was never agreed to by his people.

A showdown over the second "non-treaty" came after Chief Joseph assumed his role as Chief in 1877. After months of fighting and forced marches, many of the Nez Perce were sent to a reservation in what is now Oklahoma, where many died from malaria and starvation.

Chief Joseph tried every possible appeal to the federal authorities to return the Nez Perce to the land of their ancestors. In 1885, he was sent along with many of his band to a reservation in Washington where, according to the reservation doctor, he later died of a broken heart.

Answer 3

Benjamen Franklin, he used his pen to come up with a way to unite the united states of America by referring to people he knew as Americans in his news paper articles instead of saying that new yorker or that Carolinians.

Answer 4

Rosalind Franklin.

Known as the Dark Lady of DNA, Dr. Franklin's work in X Ray crystallography was instrumental in elucidating the double helical structural model of DNA in 1953, which was ultimately credited to James Watson, Francis Crick and Maurice Wilson when they won the Nobel Prize in 1962.

A brilliant young scientist, Dr. Franklin died at the young age of 38 of ovarian cancer.

In 2004, the Chicago Medical School in North Chicago, Illinois changed its name to the Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science to honor the work of this brilliant pioneer in science who died before her time.

If you are interested in reading a great biography about the life of Dr. Franklin, I recommend Rosalind Franklin: The Dark Lady of DNA.
