In 1623, John Hemminges and Henry Condell, two of Shakespeareâs fellow actors in the Lord Chamberlainâs Men, collected 36 of Shakespeareâs plays and had them published in the First Folio. Pericles, Prince of Tyre is the only play attributed to Shakespeare that did not appear in the First Folio. Richard Burbage (1567-1619), known as a method actor, played the lead roles in many of Shakespeareâs plays, Hamlet, Othello, Richard III, and King Lear, as well as those written by Ben Jonson.
The evaluation of Grant's presidency can be split up into seven categories: policy leadership, crisis management, presidential appointments, foreign policy, character and integrity, public persuasion, and presidential vision. Grant did many good things for Domestic Policy in his presidency. He successfully readmitted the last four Confederate states into the Union with the help of Congress.

By 1871, the federal government stopped signing treaties with Native Americans and replaced the treaty system with a law giving individual Indians ownership of land that had been tribal property. This Indian Homestead Act, official known as the Dawes Act, was a way for some Indians to become U.S. citizens. Under the Constitution, treaties are ratified by the U.S. Senate, not the House, even though the House has to appropriate the money to pay for them. 2  So Congress passed a compromise bill in 1871 that, in effect, brought an end to the treaty system.
