History

The correct answer is A) Most settlers searched for gold rather than planting crops.

The Jamestown settlement nearly failed because most settlers searched for gold rather than planting crops.

Sometimes people deviate their focus to other things that are not the priority. That is what happened in the first colony of England in the Americas: Jamestown. The colony at Jamestown nearly failed because of these two actions of the colonists: hunted for silver and gold and they also searched for the fabled Northwest Passage.

The Jamestown Colony was founded in 1607 and was the first English colony in North America. These European people arrived on May 14, 1607, and established close to the James River. These people came to America because they aspire to be rich or richer and were looking for raw materials such as gold. But permanent conflicts with the Native American Indians of the region, hunger, diseases, hunted for silver and gold, and the search for the fabled Northwest Passage, almost made the colony fail and disappear.

The freedom of religion provision in the first amendment has two parts. which part prevents the creation of a religious governme
s344n2d4d5 [400]

The "Establishment Clause" is the 1st Amendment provision that prevents the creation of a religious government. The opening words of the 1st Amendment form this "Establishment Clause,," which prohibits the government from establishing a religion. That is, the government cannot set up a church or create laws that aid a particular religion or favors some types of religion over others..

Here is what the 1st Amendment states: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

Explain one way in which attitudes towards poaching during the eighteenth century were similar to attitudes towards poaching in
Levart [38]

Answer:

Poaching for money, not for the pot, was the problem. Gangs of men who descended on an estate to take large amounts of game to sell. It started in the 18th century, then grew into almost a class war in the 19th. ... The poachers were not paid as much, but they might still get a shilling or so per pheasant

Explanation:

The 17th century saw the government introduce import duties on a range of goods. Smugglers brought goods into a country without paying these duties and so could sell them at a cheaper price compared to traders who had paid the duty. As more and more goods were taxed in the 18th century, smuggling activity increased as people wanted greater access to cheaper goods.

Smuggling further developed with the introduction of larger smuggling gangs, such as the Hawkhurst Gang in Kent who operated on a far greater scale than previous smugglers. The leaders of this gang were caught and hung, however the authorities found it hard to tackle the crime of smuggling.

This was because smuggling was a social crime- people benefitted from the cheaper goods smuggled and so did not see it as wrongdoing, they even viewed smugglers as heroes in some areas. As a result, local communities would help to conceal smugglers rather than report them.

Smuggling was only really tackled by prime minister William Pitt, who lowered import duties in the 1780s, making prices of legally traded goods more competitive with the smugglers who were breaking the law. This meant that the extent of smuggling dropped dramatically
