Answer:

Hudson founded New York harbor because he had navigated the area and knew of a waterway.

Explanation:

In 1609, Hudson was chosen to sail through the Arctic Ocean around northern Russia to reach the Far East. On April 6, Hudson departed in the Half Moon, a ship of only 73 tons with a crew of eighteen to twenty men. They sailed from the island of Texel, on the Dutch coast of the North Sea and reached the North Cape, in Norway. After passing Spitsbergen, in view of the polar ice, the crew refused to go further and could not complete the planned route. Hudson convinced the crew to try to find the way to China through North America and headed to the West (Hudson had heard about that possibility from John Smith, which had been transmitted to him by the Native Americans, probably referring to what is known today as the Great Lakes).

He toured the North American coast and spotted the Delaware Bay a year before the English did, and on September 3 his ship entered the port of New York and shortly thereafter began to climb the Hudson River to see if it could find a way down that road. Although the first European that had seen the river was Giovanni da Verrazano in 1524, Hudson was the first to explore it properly.

I think it is the first reason, but I am not sure. I had done a lot of researching on the internet, but none of the articles I read stated clearly what the answer was.

What can be inferred about the impact of Columbus arrival on Taino ?

Masja [62]

Answer:

Many died of diseases brought by the Europeans. This was the main impact of these voyages in the very short term. Later, Columbus's voyages led to the domination of the area from Mexico south to Peru by the Spanish. This resulted in the destruction of the major native civilizations like the Incas and the Aztecs.

In 1821, Mexico declared its independence from Spain and settlers began moving into Texas. The state of Texas was changing rapid

Fed [463]

The correct answer to this open question is the following,

In 1829, President Andrew Jackson offered to buy Texas from Mexico for $5 million. The Mexican government responded to President Jackson's offer to buy Texas with a negative. Mexican rulers did not agree.

The reaction of the Mexican government was to prohibit more American emigration to Texas. United States people and some Texans did not want to learn and assimilate the Mexican culture, did not want to convert into Catholicism, and never considered learning Spanish, the official language in México.

Texans did not consider themselves Americans, either Mexicans; they were Texans and were eager to form their own Republic.

What do you think washington meant by the phrase we have had too good an opinion of human nature in forming our confederation?

svetlana [45]

Washington means that the citizens have had a bit too much trust in the U.S. government without considering that while we have freed ourselves from the British, there is still a chance that this government could also become corrupt under the hands of the wrong American leaders.
