Summery of The End of the Republic

Rome, when it first started out was rules by kings.
Freedom and consulship were established by Lucius Brutus. The power of a Roman law maker did not last past two years. The rule over the tyrants by Cinna and Sulla did not last long. The rule of Pompey and Crassus happened before Caesar came to rule. The time of Rome with all its successes was recorded by famous historians, but they did not want to record the rule of Augustus, until the growing "sweet talk" scared them away. The history of Tiberius, Caius, Claudius, and Nero, while in power, where falsified (to alter something in order to deceive) because of terror and their death was written because of the hate for them.

Now the writer of this is going to tell us a few more details about Augustus-more like his last acts:
After the destruction of Brutus and Cassius, there was no longer an army of the Republic. Augustus won over the soldiers with gifts, the population with cheap corn, and all the men with sweets of repose. Augustus grew greater. He concentrated on the functions of the Senate, the magistrates, and the laws. Augustus was unopposed, because those who would of, had fallen in battle, while the remaining nobles, the readier where slaves. When they improved their status by revolution, They preferred the safety of the present, then the unknowing and dangerous past. The provinces did like the state of things also, because they distrusted the Senate and the people, because there were rivalries between the "leading man" and the officials. The laws were useless, and they were continuously damaged by violence, intrigue, and corruption.
