The early explorers in North America founded settlements and named them after places or people from their home country. They oft

en added the word new to the town or city name from their home country. This is why we have place names such as New Hampshire and New England in North America. The places they are named after tell you where in Europe the explorers came from. For example, British settlers named the state of New Hampshire after the English county called Hampshire. Spanish explorers named many settlements after Catholic saints. For example, San Francisco was named after Saint Francis of Assisi, a twelfth-century Catholic priest.
Make a list of places (states, regions, or towns) whose names show similar connections. Make sure you find at least three to four places that show a connection to each of the three nations—Spain, France, and England.

Which statement best describes Margaret Sanger? She advocated for women's right to own property and campaigned for the Married W
Marina CMI [18]

She advocated for women's health and helped educate women about birth control and family planning.

Margaret Sanger is the founder of Planned Parenthood.

During the early 20th century, Margaret Sanger worked with women, in particular immigrant women, to discover family planning. Sanger wanted birth control methods legalized to help women control the size of their families. She also believed in eugenics which meant she believed certain populations of people should be controlled in their birthrate to prevent large numbers of undesirable people. Common thinking of the time was to control the rate at which immigrants, in particular Catholic immigrants, were having children. Pushing for women's health and birth control to be legal would help to develop a more controlled and moral society in her opinion.
