1. Francis Bacon deeply influenced Thomas Jefferson
2. Laid the groundwork for the creation of the Commonwealth of Virginia as well as the creation of Newfoundland
3. Laid the basis for America's religious freedoms.
Some authors[who?] believe that Bacon's vision for a Utopian New World in North America was laid out in his novel New Atlantis, which depicts a mythical island, Bensalem, located somewhere between Peru and Japan. In this work he depicted a land where there would be freedom of religion - showing a Jew treated fairly and equally in an island of Christians, but it has been debated whether this work had influenced others reforms, such as greater rights for women, the abolition of slavery, elimination of debtors' prisons, separation of church and state, and freedom of political expression,[46][47][48][49] although there is no hint of these reforms in The New Atlantis itself. His propositions of legal reform (which were not established in his life time), though, are considered to have been one of the influences behind the Napoleonic Code,[50] and therefore could show some resemblance with or influence in the drafting of others liberal constitutions that came in the centuries after Bacon's lifetime, such as the American.
A Newfoundland stamp which reads "Lord Bacon - the guiding spirit in colonization scheme
Francis Bacon played a leading role in creating the British colonies, especially in Virginia, the Carolinas, and Newfoundland in northeastern Canada. His government report on The Virginia Colony was submitted in 1609. In 1610 Bacon and his associates received a charter from the king to form the Tresurer and the Companye of Adventurers and planter of the Cittye of London and Bristoll for the Collonye or plantacon in Newfoundland[51] and sent John Guy to found a colony there. In 1910 Newfoundland issued a postage stamp to commemorate Bacon's role in establishing the province. The stamp describes Bacon as, "the guiding spirit in Colonization Schemes in 1610."[18] Moreover, some scholars believe he was largely responsible for the drafting, in 1609 and 1612, of two charters of government for the Virginia Colony.[52] Thomas Jefferson, the third President of the United States and author of the Declaration of Independence, wrote: "Bacon, Locke and Newton. I consider them as the three greatest men that have ever lived, without any exception, and as having laid the foundation of those superstructures which have been raised in the Physical and Moral sciences".[53] Historian and biographer William Hepworth Dixon considered that Bacon's name could be included in the list of Founders of the United States of America.[54]
It has nothing to do with racism, you moron. Truck driver in Africa goes down the road infected with ebola. Now he dies by the time he's 50 miles down the road. What happens if it slows down and he can get 500 miles down the road? The somebody gets on an jet airliner and makes it to Europe, or China, or India, or America. Within a week you have 250,000 people spurting stinking rancid pus from every orifice. Within 2 weeks you have 25 million people squirting rancid pus from every orifice, and so on...
