Answer:The 1918 influenza pandemic was the most severe pandemic in recent history. It was caused by an H1N1 virus with genes of avian origin. Although there is not universal consensus regarding where the virus originated, it spread worldwide during 1918-1919.  In the United States, it was first identified in military personnel in spring 1918.

It is estimated that about 500 million people or one-third of the world’s population became infected with this virus. The number of deaths was estimated to be at least 50 million worldwide with about 675,000 occurring in the United States. Mortality was high in people younger than 5 years old, 20-40 years old, and 65 years and older. The high mortality in healthy people, including those in the 20-40 year age group, was a unique feature of this pandemic.

While the 1918 H1N1 virus has been synthesized and evaluated, the properties that made it so devastating are not well understood. With no vaccine to protect against influenza infection and no antibiotics to treat secondary bacterial infections that can be associated with influenza infections, control efforts worldwide were limited to non-pharmaceutical interventions such as isolation, quarantine, good personal hygiene, use of disinfectants, and limitations of public gatherings, which were applied unevenly.

Explain the development of the southern colonies, including but not limited to reasons established, impact of location and place
Sergio [31]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

We are talking about colonial times in North America, where white English people left Britain in order to pursue new goals and have better opportunities in the new continent.

The development of the southern colonies stemmed from the effort and perseverance of the people. The southern colonies were Maryland, Virginia, and Carolina, which years after divided in two: North and South Carolina. The location and place of these southern colonies were an important factor for their development. The good soil of the land and good climate conditions allowed farmers to grow great crops to the degree that southern colonies were known as the "breadbasket of America." They exported their crops to Europe, where there was a big demand for corn, Indigo, rice, and tobacco. This represented a big advantage for economic development.

Regarding the relations with Native American Indian tribes, at first, colonists tried to maintain a peaceful coexistence to try to live in harmony with them, but things complicated when more people arrived at these regions and tried to exploit more raw materials that were in the Indian territories.
