A:While Franklin was in London, his trip was extended, and there were problems with Sir William's promises of support. Perhaps because of the circumstances of this delay, Deborah married a man named John Rodgers. This proved to be a regrettable decision. Rodgers shortly avoided his debts and prosecution by fleeing to Barbados with her dowry, leaving her behind. Because Rodgers's fate could not be proven, Deborah was considered to still be married to him, and she could not marry again due to laws against bigamy. B:Even though it is safe to assume that John Rodgers was never the kind of man who would buy life insurance, if he actually had such a policy, would his wife have been unable to claim the death benefit in this scenario? Answer: identity
A:Some subsequent ancient historians, despite following in his footsteps, criticised Herodotus, starting with Thucydides. Nevertheless, Thucydides chose to begin his history where Herodotus left off (at the Siege of Sestos), and may therefore have felt that Herodotus's history was accurate enough not to need re-writing or correcting. Plutarch praised Herodotus in his essay "On the genius of Herodotus", describing Herodotus as "Misobarbaros" (barbarian-hater) but also being pro-Greek, which suggests that Herodotus might not actually have done a reasonable job of being even-handed. A negative view of Herodotus was passed on to Renaissance Europe, though he remained well read. However, since the 19th century his reputation has been dramatically rehabilitated by archaeological finds which have repeatedly confirmed his version of events. The prevailing modern view is that Herodotus generally did a remarkable job in his "Historiai", but that some of his specific details (particularly troop numbers and dates) should be viewed with skepticism. Nevertheless, there are still some historians who believe Herodotus made up much of his story. B:Could modern historians assume that Herodotus' writing were less biased than contemporary historians? Answer: oops

Perhaps because of the circumstances of this delay, Deborah married a man named John Rodgers. This proved to be a regrettable decision. Rodgers shortly avoided his debts and prosecution by fleeing to Barbados with her dowry, leaving her behind. Rodgers's fate was unknown, and because of bigamy laws, Deborah was not free to remarry. B:Even though it is safe to assume that John Rodgers was never the kind of man who would buy life insurance, if he actually had such a policy, would his wife have been unable to claim the death benefit in this scenario?

Perhaps because of the circumstances of this delay, Deborah married a man named John Rodgers. This proved to be a regrettable decision. Rodgers shortly avoided his debts and prosecution by fleeing to Barbados with her dowry, leaving her behind. Rodgers's fate was technically unknown, but bankruptcy courts ruled that he was presumed dead, freeing Deborah to remarry without violating bigamy laws. B:Should Deborah have tried to remarry after Rodgers's disappearance, would the main hindrance have been societal disapproval of her past decisions and/or her lack of a dowry, rather than any legal barrier?
