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.

Answer:

     The individual that has inspired me the most would have to be Woodrow wilson. He was the 28th president ,who was also the governor of New Jersey, and the president of princton university before he began his presidency. At one point he even worked as a lawyer in Atlanta, Georgia.  Woodrow's re-election campaign was founded because of the fact that he kept the U.S out of WWI. He was known best for coming up with the League of Nations besides the fact that woodrows country refused to be part of it. He married twice his second wife Edith Galt was a desendent of Pocohantas.

       Woodrow's biggest accomplishments were for establishing the FRS (Federal Reserve System) and winning the Nobel Peace prize. He won the Nobel Peace prize for his contribution to the international organization League of Natoions. After a policy of nuetrality at the outbreak of WWI, Woodrow led America into the war in order to and I quote " Make the world safe of democracy." Just like Roosevelt before him, Woodrow regarded himself as the personal representative of the people. Woodrow helped the environment by leading a Democratic Congress to pass major legislation that included the FTC (Federal Trade Commission), the Clayton Antitrust Act, the Federal Farm Loan Act, and the FRS (Federal Reseve System). Woodrow oversaw creation of the National Park Service in the year of 1916, Which has been considered one of the great treasures of the nation.

       Woodrow's administration had quickly and efficiently kickstarted the war by a mobilization once the united states joined WWI in April of 1917. First of all, Woodrow's established a number of governmental agencies designed to encourage and support Private-sector businesses in the war effort. He ultimatly tried to keep teh U.S out of the war but declared war on Germany in the year of 1917. Woodrow's main goal was to end the war and to bring out lasting peace for the world.
