Answer
The Alien and sedition acted against France
Shortly after the Revolution began, he was in Philadelphia and through the friendship of Joseph Hewes, a delegate to the Continental Congress, was commissioned as first lieutenant on the Alfred in the Continental navy. Jones proved himself a capable officer in action on the Alfred and on the sloop Providence which he commanded in 1776. The next year Congress sent him to France as captain of the Ranger with orders to attack enemy commerce in British waters. His greatest success on the Ranger came in April 1778 when he sailed from Brest for the Irish Sea and then to Whitehaven. This superb foray saw him fail in his attempt to abduct the Earl of Selkirk, whom he intended to exchange for Americans held by the British, but he captured the sloop of war Drake in a fierce struggle. By May 8, the Ranger was back at Brest with seven prizes and many prisoners, having created a furor in the British press.
. The enemy was the Serapis, one of the British escorts of a large convoy. In the battle, mostly fought in moonlight, the Bonhomme Richard grappled with the Serapis. With the two vessels lashed together, the British captain asked Jones if he wished to surrender and received the famous reply, “I have not yet begun to fight.” Indeed Jones had not, and when the night’s work was done, he accepted the surrender of his enemy.
The first Roanoke colonists did not fare well, suffering from dwindling food supplies and Indian attacks, and in 1586 they returned to England aboard a ship captained by Sir Francis Drake.
<h3>What is
Roanoke colonists ?</h3>
Sir Walter Raleigh attempted to establish the first permanent English settlement in North America by establishing the Roanoke Colony.
Lost Colony, an early English settlement on Roanoke Island (now in North Carolina, United States) that mysteriously vanished between the time of its establishment (1587) and the return of the expedition's leader (1590).
A small colony was established on an island off the eastern coast of North America in 1587. If the settlers had not vanished due to unknown circumstances, the settlement would have been the first permanent English colony in the New World.
Since 1590, when a group of 120 English settlers mysteriously vanished, the legend of Roanoke Island has been passed down from generation to generation.
