Correct answer choice is :


D) Declare their right to approve laws passed by Parliament on behalf of the colonies


Explanation:


The Congress had two main achievements. The first was a contract among the Territories to boycott British goods starting on December 1, 1774. The West Indies were frightened with a boycott unless the islands favored to non-importation of British assets. On December 1, 1774, the Continental Association was formed to boycott all communication with British goods. By changing the financial penalties put on the colonials, the members believed Britain would cancel its offensive Acts.

Describe the cultural and social interaction and exchange between english settlers and indians in virginia and the effects of th
zimovet [89]

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.
