History
1 answer:
ale4655 [162]3 years ago
8 0

Explanation:

The Europeans competed to increase wealth and power by expanding empires to America, they decided to go to Jamestown, Virginia (home to the ruins of the first permanent English settlement in North America.)

When the settlers arrived Jamestown was located on a narrow peninsula bordered on three sides, which later changed location to an island in the James River.

The reason as to why they chose a location near water, was because the location could be easily defended from attacks by sea, the water along the shore was deep enough for ships to dock, and because they had a good supply of freshwater.

Why did paying of the Plymouth colony's debt help the colony succeed?
Luba_88 [7]

<u><em>The fur trade industry was the colony’s economic salvation</em></u>. For the first few years that the colony existed, the colonists struggled to make enough money to pay the investors back. In fact, they had to ask for more money just to keep the colony running and by the mid to late 1620s, they were deeply in debt to the investors.

<u>To help pay down the debt they still owed</u>, the colonists established a beaver fur trading base in Kennebec, Maine by 1625.  

<u>This fur trading business was very successful for the colonists and quickly became an essential part of their economy</u>. Their success in this trade continued well into the 1630s and 1640s..

How did US annexation of West Florida impact Louisiana?
pishuonlain [190]

<u>Answer:</u>

The US annexation of impacted Louisiana as it created disputes between the two territories over land and political boundaries.  (C)

<u>Explanation:</u>

US gained control over the commerce over Mississippi river by acquiring Louisiana from France. James Madison, the then president, further went to expand America’s boundaries and wanted to acquire west Florida for this.

From time to time, the powers of Louisiana have passed over in different hands (France, US and Spain). Because of uncertainties in geographical and territorial boundaries in Louisiana, the US claimed the Missouri river, Gulf coast and Mississippi river in its interest.

After Louisiana Purchase treaty, US also claimed that West Florida was under this treaty. Spain denied this Claim. USA was also intruding in Louisiana which was unacceptable to Creole residents. All these caused problems in Louisiana.
