The surgeons of America would develop an immune method in the body by exposing them to it they know its there and the body fights it better, is the right answer.

During the Revolutionary wars, a severe threat to the continental army came from a disease called Smallpox. George Washington was the general of the continental army. During the time when this disease attacked the army, the general of the army quarantined the soldiers who showed the earlier signs of the disease. but later on, surgeons founded a new remedy that would give the disease to fit patients so that they could be immune. The main risk in this process was that their immune system would not respond quick enough. And that they would not get the disease was one of the rewards of this immune system.

One very famous one was an improvised vaccination. What people did (I think I read somewhere that this practice was observed in the slaves) was open skin of healthy people and place some liquid from woulds of sick people inside of it during an epidemic (such as smallpox): this way the disease was more controlled.

It was risky (what if the person got seriously sick and died?) but it gave some hope of survival to those that would likely anyway get the disease. Especially soldiers, who were in big groups were susceptible to epidemics and it is believed that this way of vaccinating saved many lives.

write an article that discusses the inauguration, Jefferson’s goals and how he set out achieving those goals.
Artist 52 [7]

Jefferson became the lead author of the United States Declaration of Independence. It was he who wrote some of the Declaration's best-known phrases, such as those saying that "all men are created equal" and have the right to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."

The most important event of Jefferson's first term was the purchase of the Louisiana Territory in 1803. The purchase of this area, which until then belonged to France, made the United States twice as large. The president launched the Lewis and Clark Expedition to explore the new lands.

Jefferson was easily reelected in 1804, but his second term was not as successful as his first. A war between Britain and France has damaged US trade with Europe.
