Which of the four fictional characters in this section—louis timothy, debora riedhauser, akachi, or jeremy shrimpton— had the ea
madreJ [45]
Of the four fictional characters, I think that Jeremy Shrimpton had the easiest time in surviving Colonial America. 

Jeremy Shrimpton was a wigmaker. Wigmakers were in high demand in England  and Colonial America because of their expertise. The wigmakers unique skill and talent ensure them a large market for their products. So, it is safe to assume that Jeremey Shrimpton enjoys the prestige and sales of being a wigmaker.

<span>The other fictional characters had the following designations in life:
Louis Timothy was a rice farmer.
Debora Riedhauser was house servant. 
Akachi was a slave.</span>

Individual states gave very little resistance to the federal government's efforts to improve roads. True or False
lyudmila [28]

The building and the maintenance of roads is the responsibility of the government. The Federal government has always played an important part in making sure that major highways and bridges are in good shape since they're vital to the growth and the development of the country.

An example is the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956 whereby there was a construction of interstate highway of about 41,000 miles whereby majority of they cost was borne by the Federal government. This helped improve the transportation network in the country and was vital for socio economic development.

In conclusion, the individual states gave very little resistance to the federal government's efforts to improve roads as it had a positive impact on the economy.

In conclusion, the correct option is true.
