The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Explain why early European explorers and rulers might have decided to take the dangerous journey across the Atlantic to claim land and colonize North America.

In a time of European superpowers during the Middle Age, European monarchies wanted to acquire more land and territories to strengthen their power and dominion. That is why the Kings supported explorations and navigations expeditions to find more or better routes to Africa and the Indies. Portugal had a great navy for the time. Spanish also had a good navy and hired the best navigators to lead the expeditions.

For instance, that was the case of Christopher Columbus, who received the sponsorship of Ferdinand of Aragon and Isabelle del Castille -King and Queen of Spain- to explorer a shorter route to the Indies. That is how he arrived in the Americas on October 12, 1492.

What is the war that made america?
inessss [21]

Answer:

The War that Made America is a PBS miniseries (produced by WQED Pittsburgh) about the French and Indian War, which was first aired in two parts on January 18 and 25, 2006. The series features extensive reenactments of historical events, with on-screen narration provided by Canadian actor Graham Greene. Much of the story focuses upon George Washington, connecting his role in the war with the later American Revolution. Pontiac's War, which followed the French and Indian War, is also covered in the series. The series was filmed in June, July, and August 2004 in and around the Western Pennsylvania region where many events actually took place during the war.

The book that accompanies the series is The War that Made America: A Short History of the French and Indian War (2005), by historian Fred Anderson.

Besides Washington, historical people portrayed prominently in the film include:

Tanacharison ("Half King")

Sir William Johnson

Edward Braddock

James Smith

Louis-Joseph de Montcalm

Theyanoguin ("King Hendrick")

Mary Jemison

Guyasuta

Jeffery Amherst

What was it like for africans who arrived in the chesapeake bay
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

The Africans’ arrival would not only change the course of Virginia history but the course of what would become the United States of America (See Figure 3-1). There were both men and women in this first group of Africans. Three or four days later, a second ship arrived. One additional African woman disembarked in Virginia. (Travels and Works of Captain John Smith [1910] 1967:541 as cited in Russell [1913] 1969:22 ftn.21).

The first Africans to arrive in Jamestown were welcome additions to the labor force. They were needed for the tasks of opening the wilderness, clearing land, and building settlements around the Chesapeake Bay. The first Africans, as few as they were, fulfilled a sorely needed and relatively empty labor niche in Virginia society. They and the African immigrants that followed also served another equally important purpose. Under the head-right system, they enabled the growth of a new landowning middle class located socially between the gentleman who had been granted the Virginia Company land by the Crown and the laboring class of indentured servants and slaves who worked the colony’s expanding tobacco lands (See Figure 3-2).

Nine months after the arrival of the first Africans, the Census of March 1620 listed 892 English colonists living in Virginia, males outnumbering females, seven to one. Also present were 32 Africans, 15 men and 17 women, a more equal sex distribution that lent it to family formation.

Hope this helps!
