Malaria

Dr. John Gorrie practiced medicine in Florida.  He experimented with ways to prevent the spread of malaria.  The summer of 1841 was a particularly bad summer for malaria infection.  People had not yet realized that malaria was spread by mosquitoes.  (That discovery didn't occur till the 1890s.)  Dr. Gorrie, noting that malaria was unlikely to occur in colder climates, thought that perhaps cooling the air in the sick rooms of his patients could help them.  He started with the idea of using a fan to blow air across a bucket of ice.  A rudimentary beginning to air cooling and refrigeration ... but as they say, the rest is history!

What did English rulers realize that the colonies could provide for them? Give examples.
svp [43]
As for material wise, the English realized that the American Colonies could provide a stable stream of funds that relied on the production, refining, and sale of many different supplies and crops. Such examples would be Tobacco, Sugar (not 100% on this one), and Cotton (later on). Other products that could be produced in the Americas were whale oil and seafood. As for influence, the English noticed that they could claim large parts of Unclaimed (and sometimes claimed, which they woukd fight for) North America such as parts of Canada and almost the entire East Coats in order to spread the influence of the Crown further throughout the world. It was also a power struggle fight between Britain, France, and Spain, which was another reason for the colonies.

How did the establishment of Maryland differ from that of the earlier English colonies?
melisa1 [442]
 <span>Although most of the settlers were Protestants, Maryland soon became one of the few regions in the British Empire where Catholics held the highest positions of political authority. Maryland was also one of the key destinations of tens of thousands of British convicts. The Maryland Toleration Act of 1649 was one of the first laws that explicitly dictated religious tolerance, though toleration was limited to Trinitarian Christians. </span><span>
