Because of Ptolemy. This was a case of both secular and religious authorities forcing a theory (which was proven wrong in the ancient world) to be the received wisdom, due to a reluctance to accept new theories. It is taught to scientists nowadays as a warning, to always be on the watch that they do not grow so comfortable with a theory that they will struggle to defend it, even against overwhelming evidence to the contrary..
What country were the pilgrims from?
The English Separatists (now known as the Pilgrims) sailed in the 180-ton merchant vessel Mayflower from the English port of Plymouth on September 16, 1620. Their point of departure was the Barbican area known as the Mayflower Steps.They arrived in the New World in November, 1620, anchoring in what is now known as Provincetown Harbour, Cape Cod on November 21. It is documented that they discovered an empty village, which they investigated, stealing stored grain and digging up graves.This didn't endear them to the local Native Americans and the Mayflower moved along the coast, generally pillaging native camps as they went. Thoroughly out of favour by now with the locals, the pilgrims loaded up with more of the natives' corn and sought their religious freedoms in places they hoped hadn't yet heard the news about them, ending up in Plymouth, where they settled in March 1621.
Who said America will be destroyed from within?
Abraham Lincoln has recently been alleged to have said:"America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."In fact, this is NOT what Lincoln said. Here's what he DID say on which the misquote is apparently based:"All the armies of Europe, Asia and Africa combined, with all the treasure of the earth (our own excepted) in their military chest; with a Buonaparte for a commander, could not by force, take a drink from the Ohio, or make a track on the Blue Ridge, in a trial of a thousand years."At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide."(from "The Perpetuation of Our Political Institutions: Address Before the Young Men's Lyceum of Springfield, Illinois" January 27, 1838)"A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself from within. " -- Ariel Durant
