The answer to the question “Why is the Chesapeake Bay so important?” is multi-faceted, but it begins with the fact that the Chesapeake Bay is the largest of more than 100 estuaries in the United States. As such a large estuary, the Bay impacts the health and safety of thousands of species of animals and plants, as well as the 18 million people who live in the Chesapeake Bay watershed.
The Chesapeake Bay’s ecosystem impacts the quality of the air we breathe, the water we drink and the food we eat. It’s wetlands protect communities from extreme weather such as erosion, flood waters and storm surges. And the trees that sprawl from the Bay shores and forests cool our communities. As an interconnected system, the health of the Bay impacts the health of regions far and wide, including the people in them.
Thousands of species of animals and plants also rely on the Chesapeake Bay for livable habitats. The crabs we feast on. The produce we grow. The birds, turtles, foxes, bears, bugs and hundreds of other critters humans have come to love—not to mention the plants we put in our garden or give to loved ones—all depend on the Bay to live. By protecting the Bay, we are ensuring their survival and thus reaping the benefits they offer.
The Bay is also an important economic resource. Seafood, recreation and tourism generate significant revenue for all Chesapeake watershed states, producing jobs and boosting local economies. The Chesapeake is also home to two of the five major shipping ports in the North Atlantic: Baltimore and Hampton Roads. If we are unable to preserve the Bay, these economic benefits will diminish and we could even see a reduction in the seafood that feeds citizens across the country.
If you don’t live near or on the Bay, you might be wondering how do these issues affect you? The Chesapeake Bay has a vast watershed, which means that the water—and the pollution it carries—drains from parts of Maryland, Virginia, Delaware, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, New York and all of the District of Columbia and into the Bay. That means that the health of your local waterways, parks and forests are connected to the health of the Bay. The same factors that damage the Bay also disturb your local wildlife, produce challenges for your local farmers and pollute your drinking water, among other issues.
The Chesapeake Bay, due to its sheer size and scope, could be an example for estuaries around the country and around the world. Every action we take on the land affects our local streams and rivers, and ultimately the Bay, so it’s up to the 18 million of us that live in the Bay watershed to take the correct actions: ones that will help, rather than hurt, an already degraded ecosystem.

<h3>What is
The Scriptures ?</h3>
The sacred writings of a religion are referred to as scripture. For Christians, the Bible and Christ's words are examples of scripture.
They are interpretations of divine truth and divine mandates, or stories about how people, great and small, have acted (consciously or unconsciously) in response to a heavenly impulse.
Look in the back of your Bible for a Bible concordance (index) that will lead you to a few texts that contain each term in the concordance.
The Bible is a translation of SOME Scripture, but not all of it. The Bible is the complete inspired word of God written by holy prophets. The Bible contains 66 books that were chosen by humanity, not by God.

Answer:
The reason why the Founding Fathers created a six-year term limit for members of the Senate was:
B. So they could concentrate on the business of the government rather than reelection.
Explanation:
The idea behind the six-year term is stability, as was reasoned by James Madison. Senators could concentrate on doing their jobs instead of worrying about reelection very often. That would give them the chance to do a more stable job. Of course, to prevent Senators from losing touch with people and from becoming a way-too-powerful aristocracy, one-third of the Senators' terms would expire every two years, leaving two-thirds of the members in office.
Henry Seward expands the antislavery argument beyond the moral appeal of the abolitionist by talking about or addressing the country as a whole and not just about the slaves. He doesn't use the term "slaves" to refer it to them but rather, he calls them as "the laborers", so that, those who are non abolitionist would imagine slaves as laborers or working men. He also once said, as quoted, “the united states must and will, sooner or later, become either
entirely a slaveholding nation, or entirely a free labor nation." Hope this answer helps.
My answer would be A because during the Stono Rebellion, the<span> militia surrounded the escaping slaves and those who were not killed were captured and executed. This would definitely be a cause of fear in my opinion. </span>
