Around 1750, the British mainland American colonies had a population of approximately 1.5 million. In addition to settlers from Great Britain, a steady stream of German immigrants began to arrive in the late 1600s and reached its peak between 1749 and 1754, when more than 5,000 Germans arrived annually. Each year 3,500 black captives arrived from Africa or the Caribbean. Nearly 1 in 5 Americans, or 300,000 people, were enslaved. Poverty in Northern Ireland forced a massive flight of Scots-Irish to the colonies.
Answer:
Columbus was born in Genoa, Italy, in 1451. Little is known of his early life, but he worked as a seaman and then a sailing entrepreneur. He became obsessed with the possibility of pioneering a western sea route to Cathay (China), India, and the fabled gold and spice islands of Asia. At the time, Europeans knew no direct sea route to southern Asia, and the route via Egypt and the Red Sea was closed to Europeans by the Ottoman Empire, as were many land routes. Contrary to popular legend, educated Europeans of Columbus’ day did believe that the world was round, as argued by St. Isidore in the seventh century. However, Columbus, and most others, underestimated the world’s size, calculating that East Asia must lie approximately where North America sits on the globe (they did not yet know that the Pacific Ocean existed).

Explanation:
Lee Harvey Oswald, a soon-to-be assassin, father of 2 children, and a very depressed human being, after hearing of John F. Kennedy's arrival in Dallas to try and win over the state's vote in the 1964 election, brought home a rifle one day and stashed it in his wife's best friend's garage. His wife took one look at the gun and ordered him to leave. Oswald did, but devised a plan to get back into the garage and take back his weapon. After doing so, he planned the rest of his assassination attempt. Then, on November 22, 1963, Oswald took his place in a 6th story window of the Texas School Book Depository. Around 12:30 pm, Oswald fired 4 shots over Dealey Plaza. The motorcade that Kennedy was fatally wounded in raced to Parkland Hospital where Kennedy was pronounced dead at 1:00 pm. Oswald fled the Book Depository and ran all around Dallas trying to avoid suspicion. He was apprehended by police at a movie theater at 1:40 pm. On November 24th, the assassin was assassinated by Jack Ruby as he was being transferred to a county jail. He was rushed to Parkland Hospital, but for the respect of Kennedy, was not given the same hospital room. Oswald could not survive due to massive amounts of blood loss and was pronounced dead at 1:07 pm. He is now buried at Shannon Rose Hill Memorial Park, in Fort Worth, Texas.
