The settlement of permanent English colonies in North America, beginning with Jamestown in

1607, further cemented the development of an already emerging and complex Atlantic World. The

convergence of North American, South American, European, and African peoples in the western

hemisphere was a complicated mix of conquest, trade, and religious mission. Spanish, French, and

English colonies existed simultaneously in North America, each with different objectives and different

approaches to the American Indians they encountered. Likewise, differences among the thirteen English

colonies existed in terms of their founding purposes, interaction with American Indians, and economic

development. England’s various North American colonies were, however, united under their mother

country’s strong focus on extracting colonial resources through mercantilism and trans-Atlantic trade

even though this objective did not always align with the colonists’ growing desire for economic, religious,

and political autonomy.

Emphasis should be placed on the regional geographic, economic, religious, and political

differences that existed between England’s Southern, Mid-Atlantic, and New England c

The painting on the left is "Scene at the Signing of the Constitution of the United States". It was painted by Howard Chandler in 1940.

The one of the right is "Siege of Yorktown". It was painted by Louis-Charles-Auguste Couder in 1836. In this image you can see George Washington and the comte of Rochambeau giving orders during the siege.

Based on the definitions of primary and secondary sources we can infer to which category they belong.

A primary source is the one produced by a witness of the event, that means he/she was present during the event. In this category creations that are very close to the original source are included.

A secondary source are interpretations or analyses based on primary sources.

In conclusion:

- "Scene at the Signing of the Constitution of the United States" is a secondary source. The author was born in 1872 and the event painted uccured in 1787, he obviously based his information on primary sources, the image is an interpretation.

- "Siege of Yorktown" can be considered a primary source as the author was born in 1789, eight years after the event took place. He could have based his painting on testimonials of people that actually was there.

tatiyna

Answer:

was an American first lady (1797-1801), the wife of John Adams, the second president of the United States, and the mother of John Quincy Adams, the sixth president.

A strong advocate of women's rights, Abigail Adams encouraged her husband and other members of the Continental Congress to "...remember the ladies..." as they began the work of crafting a new American government.

The United States government is known
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

The United States could be defined as a “federal constitutional representative democracy.” You might also call it a “federal constitutional republic.”

Constitutional: Our system of government is considered constitutional, because the power exercised by the people and their representatives is bound by the constitution and the broader rule of law.

Federal: Our government is also a federal system, since power is shared between a national government, representing the entire populace, and regional and local governments.
