Answer:

Touro Synagogue

Explanation:

The Touro Synagogue is the oldest synagogue building still standing in the United States dating to the colonial era. It was built for the Jeshuat Israel congregation in Newport which was founded in 1658 by the descendants of Jewish families who fled the Inquisitions in Spain and Portugal and who themselves left the Caribbean seeking the greater religious tolerance that Rhode Island had to offer. Each year, over 30,000 people visit the synagogue to pray and see its magnificent interior. The Touro Synagogue stands as a symbol of religious freedom for all Americans and was designated as a National Historic Site in 1946.

The Touro Synagogue in Newport, Rhode Island, is the oldest Jewish house of worship in North America that is still standing. It was built in 1759 for the Jeshuat Israel congregation, which was established in 1658.

In his letter to John Dickinson Thomas Jefferson Made which of these points about the Louisiana Purchase ?

german

Some of the main points Thomas Jefferson explain to John Dickinson about the Louisiana purchase were:

The sole dominion of the Mississippi, excluding those bickerings with foreign powers, securing the course of a peaceable nation.
The pretension to extend the western territory of Louisiana to the Rio Norte, or Bravo; and still stronger the eastern boundary to the Rio Perdido between the rivers Mobile & Pensacola.
Ratification and payment, for a thing beyond the constitution, and rely on the nation to sanction an act done for its great good, without its previous authority.
Annex New Orleans to the Mississippi territory and shut up all the rest from settlement for a long time to come, endeavoring to exchange some of the country there unoccupied by Indians for the lands held by the Indians on this side the Mississippi.
The impost which will be paid by the inhabitants ceded will pay half the interest of the price given: so that only half will be added to the debt.
