In 1609, two years after English settlers established the colony of Jamestown in Virginia, the Dutch East India Company hired English sailor Henry Hudson to find a northeast passage to India. After unsuccessfully searching for a route above Norway, Hudson turned his ship west and sailed across the Atlantic. Hudson hoped to discover a "northwest passage," that would allow a ship to cross the entirety of the North American continent and gain access to the Pacific Ocean, and from there, India. After arriving off the coast of Cape Cod, Hudson eventually sailed into the mouth of a large river, today called the Hudson River. Making his way as far as present-day Albany before the river became too shallow for his ship to continue north, Hudson returned to Europe and claimed the entire Hudson River Valley for his Dutch employers.

1. The first president under the Constitution, George Washington, in his Farewell Address warned against forming political parties, but his immediate successors didn't listen. John Adams (Federalist) and Thomas Jefferson (Democratic-Republican) fought bitter contests in 1796 (Adams won) and 1800 (Jefferson won). It is the natural instinct of politicians to align with like-minded individuals and want to govern based on ideology rather than to just solve problems one-by-one as they arise. Because the first time two people had a discussion about politics and decided to cooperate toward common goals, in effect the first political party was formed. That’s all a party is.
2. The federalists believed in a strong central government and its proactive involvement in commerce. In general, the federalists were elitists who opposed measures to democratize American politics. In the realm of international relations, federalists were admirers of Great Britain and detractors of the French.
3. Christianity is the most widely professed religion in the Dominican Republic. Historically, Catholicism dominated the religious practices of the country, and as the official state religion it receives financial support from the government. In modern times Protestant and non-Christian groups, such as Muslims and Jews, have experienced a population boom.
