The history of writing in Britain begins with the Anglo-Saxons in the fifth century AD. With ties to Scandinavia and other North Seas cultures, ancient Anglo-Saxon writing, called futhorc, was a runic language. Flexible, new runes were routinely added such that, although it first appeared in England with 26 characters, by the time of its demise (by the 11th century AD), it had 33.
In the seventh century AD, the Latin alphabet introduced by Christian missionaries had begun to take hold. By 1011, a formal list of the Old English alphabet was made and included all of our present letters except J, U (or V)* and W. The ampersand and five uniquely English letters, designated <span>ond, wynn, thorn, eth </span>and ash, were included.
iThe correct answer is the Gold Coast and the Cape Verde islands.
Indeed, Prince Henry wanted to circumvent the Muslim blockade of the Mediterranean and be able to import slaves and Gold from African without their intervention. The Portuguese founded a trade fort at the Bay of Arguin (modern day Mauritania). In 1444 they went around the Cap-Vert Peninsula and discovered the Cape Verde Islands in 1456. This strategy ruined some of the Barbary Kingdoms and made Portugal rich and powerful.
No one received the majority of electoral votes in 1824--due to this the top 3 candidates moved on to the House of Representatives for a vote.
In 1824, no clear majority winner came out of the electoral votes. Andrew Jackson, John Q. Adams, and William Crawford were the top three vote winners so they went onto the House vote. In the House, each state gets one vote--John Q. Adams ended up winning the election.
Answer:
What happened in Georgia during the American Revolution? We hear a lot about events in Massachusetts or Virginia, but what were things like in the colony of Georgia during America's War for Independence?
In 1732, Georgia became the last British colony to be founded. Originally intended by founder James Oglethorpe to be a refuge for debtors and the 'worthy poor,' the colony was founded as a buffer zone to protect southern colonies from Spanish incursions. Georgia did not have a prominent role in the American Revolution the way other colonies like Massachusetts or Virginia did.
Bearing reference to King George II, Loyalist sentiment was common throughout the colony. Loyalists were those American colonists who did not desire independence from Great Britain but instead remained 'loyal' to the Crown. Sometimes Loyalists were also called 'Tories.' Loyalists tended to be more common throughout the South, where republicanism was not as strong and where British troops were regarded more favorably because they helped protect settlers from Native American tribes.
It's safe to say that on the eve of the American Revolution, anti-British sentiment was not nearly as pronounced in Georgia as it was in other colonies. For example, Georgia did not participate in the Stamp Act Congress in 1765 or the First Continental Congress in 1774 due to a lack of anti-British sentiment. Until the outbreak of violence at Lexington and Concord, most Georgian colonists were perfectly content to be British subjects. Georgia was probably the most pro-British of the 13 colonies, but this would not remain the case for long.
