zloy xaker [14]3 years ago
6 0
To combat the threat of tropical diseases such as malaria and yellow fever, the United States decided to use new measures to eradicate the disease before the construction of the Panama Canal.  Under the leadership of Colonel William Crawford Gorgas, many changes were made.  When it was discovered that mosquitoes were the source of the disease, Gorgas who was appointed as the head of hospital and sanitation, he made sure that containers with stagnant water were removed because mosquitoes lay their eggs there.  He also built domestic water systems to eliminate the need to collect rain water.  Prophylactic Quinine was supplied to the people in the area and fumigation and oiling of streams were launched.  Those who were sick were quarantined and workers would sleep in screened structures so that mosquitoes would not be able to bite them.  These programs resulted in the successful elimination of tropical diseases in the area and the health of workers improved.

dedylja [7]

The correct answer is: A. Loyalists were supposed to get their property back and face no further punishment from the American government.

The Treaty of Paris was signed on September 3, 1783 between<em> King George III (Great Britain) and Benjamin Franklin, John Adams and John Jay representing the United States of America</em> bringing the American Revolution to an end. It recognized the 13 Colonies as an independent nation from Great Britain.

One of the terms that<em> The Treaty of Paris</em> stated was that the Congress had to return the property they had confiscated from the Loyalists (those who remained loyal to Great Britain during the American Revolution).
