Sir Isaac Newton is mostly known for his discovery of the law of gravity, but there is a very interesting part of his life that most people do not know and it is that he changed forever the way money was printed and coined.

In 1696 he was appointed to the Royal Mint which, still today, makes and distributes the nation’s money. Before him England had a terrible problem in regards to money: counterfeit money flooded the streets and it was at the brink of losing credibility among society.

Newton brought order to chaos. He managed the recall of all coins, he manufactured and issued a new secure coinage and introduced the gold standard.

He relentlessly hunted down counterfeiters, frequenting sleazy taverns and dank prisons, gathering information and evidence and developing a network of spies and informants. He succeeded, thanks to him we have the safe and secure money we know today.

Which of the following was a draw for indentured servants coming to the Americans?
Finger [1]

Answer:

Mostly money and promise of the American dream.

Many poor Europeans and other immigrants heard about the Americans and their lavish lives and wanted to try their luck and escape their poverty. However, they didn't have enough money to emigrate to America which is why they would become indentured servants.

This meant that they would sign a contract with their employer who would then pay for their travel expenses to America, and in turn they would have to work for them for a number of years in return for food and shelter. When the contract expired, ideally the indentured servant became free (although this didn't always happen). Their status was slightly better than that of a slave.

(Since you didn't give us any options, I can't tell you the exact answer).
