Florida
On October 27, 1810, U.S. President James Madison proclaimed that the United States should take possession of West Florida between the Mississippi and Perdido Rivers, based on a tenuous claim that it was part of the Louisiana Purchase
The invention of the steam engine in the late 1700s and its widespread use beginning in the early 1800s triggered the industrial revolution. Steam engine is an engine that uses steam as its working fluid to perform mechanical work. James Watt, a Scottish engineer patented the steam engine in 1781.
The interactions between English settlers and native Virginians is a difficult one to summarize, as it experienced many changes over the years.
The two peoples originally came into contact in 1607, when English settlers first established the town of Jamestown in Virginian territory. The original settlement was a small one, and the settlers required the help of the natives in order to learn how to work the land and face the weather. This led to close cooperation between the two groups.
However, as the influence of the English settlers grew, their power also increased. The settlers became interested in dominating the native people, and they attempted to do this in various ways, including through warfare, forced removal and christianization. As hostilities grew, the indigenous people began to lose most of the things that were valuable to them, such as their land, their religious rites, their cultural expressions and their large numbers.
In times of peace, the two groups were able to learn from each other, and cultural and social exchanges were common. However, when hostilities arose, the native people were particularly affected. The damage increased when forced removal became a more extensive government practice. Such discriminatory actions led to the downfall of the native Virginians.
It would be the "the preamble" that implies a plan of action and lists certain things to be changed, since the introduction is far more general in exclaiming why in fact they are claiming independence.
