Answer:
The "liberal consensus" was the tacit agreement between the Democratic and Republican Parties in the United States Congress during the 1960s, through which they would support and approve bills related to social security, with the aim of guaranteeing better and greater rights to American citizens.
These policies were mainly promoted by Democratic politicians, who held the majority of the presidency during that decade through John F. Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson. But many moderate Republicans also supported these measures, being led by, among others, Nelson Rockefeller, then-Governor of New York, who drew support from East Coast Republicans for many of the Democratic Party measures.
Answer:
In 1584, Queen Elizabeth I granted Sir Walter Raleigh a charter for the colonization of an area of North America which was to be called Virginia. Raleigh and Elizabeth intended that the venture should provide riches from the New World and a base from which to send privateers on raids against the treasure fleets of Spain. He called his new privately-funded colony, Roanoke, and founded it on an island off the coast of present-day North Carolina, where it would be relatively isolated from existing settlements in North America.
The colony was small, consisting of only 117 people, who suffered a poor relationship with the local American Indians, the Croatans, and struggled to survive in their new land. Their governor, John White, returned to England in late 1587 to secure more people and supplies; by the time he returned in 1590, the entire colony had vanished. The only trace the colonists left behind was the word “Croatoan” carved into a fence surrounding the village. Governor White never knew whether the colonists had decamped for nearby Croatoan Island (now Hatteras) or whether some disaster had befallen them all. Roanoke is still called “the Lost Colony” today.
