Burgess originally meant a freeman of a borough (England, Wales, Ireland) or burgh (Scotland). It later came to mean an elected or unelected official of a municipality, or the representative of a borough in the English House of Commons. The term was also used in some of the American colonies.

Answer:

B urgess as a boys' name is of Old French origin, and the meaning of Burgess is "freeman of a borough".The name is derived from the Middle English word burge(i)s, or the Old French word burgeis which both mean "inhabitant and freeman of a fortified town." another meaning for burgess can be a citizen of a British borough.or a representative of a borough.

Hope this helped you!

In your local newspaper, you read an editorial supporting a local building initiative that will cost the town millions of dollar
Mrrafil [7]

D. that she may profit from the building project

Look at the evidence within the question information. The author has 20 years of experience in construction and owns a local construction company. So if the city or town is considering a building initiative that will cost the town millions of dollars, the author of the editorial quite possibly hopes to bid for some of that construction work. It would be very good for her business.

Now, the fact that a construction company owner favors the building initiative doesn't mean her views should be rejected simply because of her position in the construction industry. If her views are valid and provide solid arguments in favor of the project, those views should be considered on their merits. At the same time, perspectives from other local citizens should be considered too, in terms of environmental impact of the project, costs and affordability, how the building initiative will benefit residents of the community, etc.

Match the participants of the French and Indian War with the territories they lost or gained after the Treaty of Paris of 1763.
Mama L [17]

Answer:

Britain --- won territory and expanded empire

France --- lost territory and influence

Spain --- gained territory but did not settle it

American colonies --- gained territory and sense of unity

American Indians --- could not keep promised territory

Explanation:

The French and Indian War was a military conflict developed between 1754 and 1763 in North America, between Britain and France, for control of the territories adjacent to the Great Lakes.

During this conflict, the French were aided by Native Americans and, to a lesser extent, by the Spanish. In turn, the bulk of the British combatants were American settlers.

The end result of this war was the total annexation of the French colonies in America by Great Britain, as well as the secession of Louisiana to Spain by France.

For the Americans, this war meant the creation of a strong and unifying national identity, while for the Native Americans it meant a great loss of power in their ancestral territories.
