What were some more interesting facts about jesse james?

Here's 10, I don't know how many you need so I will provide 10. (So can pick.)

1. Jesse Woodson James was born September 5, 1847 in Clay County, Missouri.

2. His father was a commercial hemp farmer and Baptist minister. He died when Jesse was three years old.

3. Jesse and his brother Frank, as Confederate guerrillas during the Civil War, were said to have committed atrocities against unarmed Union soldiers, scalping and dismembering them after they were killed.

4. Jesse was shot in the chest while attempting to surrender to Union soldiers near Lexington, Missouri.

5. He recovered from the gunshot wound under the care of his first cousin. The two were eventually married.

6. The first bank robbery to which Jesse James was incontrovertibly linked was that at the Daviess County Savings Association in Gallatin, Missouri, where James shot and killed a cashier he mistakenly believed was a former Civil War adversary. This marked the beginning of Jesse James public identification as an outlaw.

7. Jesse formed an alliance with the editor and founder of The Kansas City Star, who published letters from James that proclaimed his innocence. The editor wrote admiring editorials about James that painted him more as a noble character than a criminal.

8. though the newspaper editor fostered a Robin Hood image of Jesse James and his gang, there was never any evidence or indication that they shares robbery money with anyone outside their gang.

9. The James-Younger gang, which was comprised of Jesse, his brother Frank, Cole Younger, his brothers, and some former Confederates, carried out a string of robberies from Iowa to Texas, and from Kansas to West Virginia. They robbed banks, stagecoaches, and a fair in Kansas City, often in front of large crowds.

10. Eventually, they turned to train robbery, usually robbing cars rather than passengers.

Many colonists called the 13 colonies the "13 countries." Why do you think colonists gave them this nickname? What does this tel

Agata [3.3K]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

I think colonists gave the nickname of 13 colonies because they considered themselves different colonies with special characteristics, customs, cultures, and forms of government. They were in the same North American territory but lived under different rules.

That is why we considered them as different groups in terms of culture (the types of people), landscape (the land and location), and reasons for settlement. Those cultural differences and belief systems created their own identities. Some English colonists arrived in the North American territory after being persecuted by the Church of England. Others arrived in America to get rich, as was the case of the Jamestown, Virginia colony. Some settled in poor soil lands and had to developed fishing and navigating skills such as the Massachusetts colonies. some others settled in fertile soil lands as was the case of the "bread and basket colonies."

The colonies were not as united as they should be, However, as being part of the English monarchy, they suffered from the same issues and problems such as the heavy taxation imposed by the English government. The colonies had to pay high taxes and they did not have any voice or representation in the British Parliament. That is why they decided to join forces in the Continental Congress and fight against the English troops in the Revolutionary War to get their independence.

Explanation:

Trade was also a boon for human interaction, bringing cross-cultural contact to a whole new level. When people first settled down into larger towns in Mesopotamia and Egypt, self-sufficiency – the idea that you had to produce absolutely everything that you wanted or needed – started to fade. A farmer could now trade grain for meat, or milk for a pot, at the local market, which was seldom too far away. Cities started to work the same way, realizing that they could acquire goods they didn't have at hand from other cities far away, where the climate and natural resources produced different things. This longer-distance trade was slow and often dangerous but was lucrative for the middlemen willing to make the journey. The first long-distance trade occurred between Mesopotamia and the Indus Valley in Pakistan around 3000 BC, historians believe. Long-distance trade in these early times was limited almost exclusively to luxury goods like spices, textiles, and precious metals. Cities that were rich in these commodities became financially rich, too, satiating the appetites of other surrounding regions for jewelry, fancy robes, and imported delicacies. It wasn't long after that trade networks crisscrossed the entire Eurasian continent, inextricably linking cultures for the first time in history. By the second millennium BC, former backwater island Cyprus had become a major Mediterranean player by ferrying its vast copper resources to the Near East and Egypt, regions wealthy due to their own natural resources such as papyrus and wool. Phoenicia, famous for its seafaring expertise, hawked its valuable cedarwood and linens dyes all over the Mediterranean. China prospered by trading jade, spices, and later, silk. Britain shared its abundance of tin.
