Answer: Slavery was a point of contention in the United States since the country's founding. The disagreement intensified as the 1800s began. In 1820, the Missouri Compromise established a boundary that wouldn't allow new slave states above this line. Dred Scott had been taken by his owner to an area in which slavery had been made illegal because of the Missouri Compromise.
Have a great day!
When English settlers came to Jamestown, the living conditions were very poor. By the time 1609 had come around, they had faced a harsh winter called "the starving time".
Because the winter was so harsh, people were getting sick and dying off at a very fast rate. Only about 1/3 of the settlers survived that winter, and it was rumored that the starving time was so bad that the settlers turned to eating some of the animals, such as the dogs to stay alive.
Because the people were eventually reinforced with supplies and more settlers, the colony of Jamestown was able to persevere and keep going considering they lost a significant amount of their original settlers. The tobacco crop and more settlers coming on ships in the next few years is what was able to keep Jamestown thriving.
This helped make it the first permanent settlement in North America, unlike the Lost Colony of Roanoke, Virginia, where all the settlers had vanished in the late 1500s.

The British preacher George Whitefield's preaching style was imitated by several American preachers. His style was he sermonized in a passionate evocative style and a booming voice.
Wind patterns, ocean currents, proximity to large bodies of water (i.e. seas and oceans), and elevation all impact climate patterns through a variety of factors. These factors largely impact the flow of energy and heat from the sun across the Earth's surface through processes of convection. For example the "Jet Stream" in the United States is a wind pattern that carries air and weather patterns across the United States and its flow shifts directions depending on seasons. Another is the Gulf Stream which brings warm currents from the Caribbean and Central American up the American coast and out into the Atlantic ocean warming the temperatures of the coastal water ways and also impacting the climate of the land near it.
