The correct answers are B) hunted for silver and C) gold searched for the fabled Northwest Passage.

The colony at Jamestown nearly failed because of these two actions of the colonists: hunted for silver and gold searched for the fabled Northwest Passage.

The Jamestown Colony was founded in 1607 and was the first English colony in North America. These European people arrived on May 14, 1607, and established close to the James River. These people came to America because they aspire to be rich or richer and were looking for raw materials such as gold. But permanent conflicts with the Native American Indians of the region, hunger, diseases, hunted for silver and gold, and the search for the fabled Northwest Passage, almost made the colony fail and disappear.

puteri [66]

Answer:

These terms may not have been the most appropriate because people, specifically Indians who discovered what we call America (we know them as American Indians/Native Americans). It was not a "New World" or "discovery" to anyone besides Christopher Columbus and his followers; people already knew about it. A term that may fit what he found better is "learning" or "exploration", but it is important to recognize that he did not find America himself.

Grants offensive against lees army of north Virginia was fought in an are called from may 5 to 7 1864
jasenka [17]

When General Grant took command, the Union Army was still exchanging prisoners of war. This allowed each side to return their men to their country to fight again. Grant knew that the Union had more men and could produce more weapons than the Confederate. So he ended the prisoner exchange. This of course resulted in more men held in prisoner of war camps and creating problems for both sides, resulting in many deaths in these camps---both in the North and in the South. Grant also pressed his troops to stay on the attack. In some battles, his casualties were very high but he still knew that the Confederates could not replace their losses as easily as the Union could. Grant used General Sherman to force the war onto the civilian population and the industrial centers of the Confederacy. This was a new concept to most commanders. War was a duel between armies on the field of battle. The destruction of the industrial sites prevented an enemy from arming his troops and conducting war.
