Tobacco in Colonial Virginia
Contributed by Emily Jones Salmon and John Salmon
Tobacco was colonial Virginia's most successful cash crop. The tobacco that the first English settlers encountered in Virginia—the Virginia Indians' Nicotiana rustica—tasted dark and bitter to the English palate; it was John Rolfe who in 1612 obtained Spanish seeds, or Nicotiana tabacum, from the Orinoco River valley—seeds that, when planted in the relatively rich bottomland of the James River, produced a milder, yet still dark leaf that soon became the European standard. Over the next 160 years, tobacco production spread from the Tidewater area to the Blue Ridge Mountains, especially dominating the agriculture of the Chesapeake region. Beginning in 1619 the General Assembly put in place requirements for the inspection of tobacco and mandated the creation of port towns and warehouses. This system assisted in the development of major settlements at Norfolk, Alexandria, and Richmond. Tobacco formed the basis of the colony's economy: it was used to purchase the indentured servants and slaves to cultivate it, to pay local taxes and tithes, and to buy manufactured goods from England. Promissory notes payable in tobacco were even used as currency, with the cost of almost every commodity, from servants to wives, given in pounds of tobacco. Large planters usually shipped their tobacco directly to England, where consignment agents sold it in exchange for a cut of the profits, while smaller planters worked with local agents who bought their tobacco and supplied them with manufactured goods. In the mid-seventeenth century, overproduction and shipping disruptions related to a series of British wars caused the price of tobacco to fluctuate wildly. Prices stabilized again in the 1740s and 1750s, but the financial standings of small and large planters alike deteriorated throughout the 1760s and into the 1770s. By the advent of the American Revolution (1775–1783), some planters had switched to growing food crops, particularly wheat; many more began to farm these crops to support the war effort. In the first year of fighting, tobacco production in Virginia dropped to less than 25 percent of its annual prewar output.

maxonik [38]

Answer:

(B). Both the other two

Explanation:

Vygotsky's sociocultural theory of cognitive development states that <u>children learn and develop by socially interacting with others who are more skilled</u>.

According to the theory, <u>children learn through </u><u>collaboration</u> with people who are more skilled like parents and teachers.

<u>They also learn through </u><u>scaffolding</u><u>,</u> which involves the teacher providing temporary support to the child, for a period of time, until the child can carry out an activity on his or her own.

PLEASE HELP!!!!!! 15 POINTS

Here's the list as given, with numbers showing order:

4. Many Jewish immigrants flee Europe for Palestine.

5. Israel is created as a country.

1. Antisemitism starts to develop in Europe.

2. The Nazi Party comes to power in Germany.

3. Jews are persecuted in Germany.


Note:  I numbered "Many Jewish immigrants <u>flee</u> Europe for Palestine" after the Nazis began persecuting Jews in Germany, because that was definitely a time of <u>flight</u>.  The settlement of Palestine by Jews had already begun before that time, but "fleeing" was more the case as Nazi persecution took hold.

Here's the list in order, then:

  1. Antisemitism starts to develop in Europe.
  2. The Nazi Party comes to power in Germany.
  3. Jews are persecuted in Germany.
  4. Many Jewish immigrants flee Europe for Palestine.
  5. Israel is created as a country.

Further details/context:

Anti-Semitism was strong in Europe already in the Middle Ages, when Jews were accused of such things as spreading the plague by poisoning wells, or using the blood of murdered Christians to make the matzah for their Passover rituals.  The term "anti-Semitism" as a description for hostile opposition to the Jewish people was first used by Wilhelm Marr in 1879 in Germany.  Marr supported campaigns against Jews and began using the term "anti-Semitism" as a euphemism for what better might have been called "Jew-hating."

The Zionist movement began in the late 1800s, focused on establishing a homeland for anyone of Jewish ethnicity.   Theodore Herzl is typically credited with getting the secular Zionist movement started with his book,  <em>Der Judenstaat</em> ("The Jews' State), published in 1896.  Herzl also led in the founding of the World Zionist Organization, established by the First World Zionist Congress held in Switzerland in 1897.    Convinced that the Jews would never truly be welcomed or assimilated within the countries of Europe, Herzl argued for establishment of their own homeland somewhere. Eventually that "somewhere" became a movement focused on going back to the ancestral land of Israel.

The push for Israel as the homeland of Jews intensified during the 1930s as Nazi efforts in Germany turned heatedly against Jewish people, and the Holocaust of the 1940s ultimately turned world sympathy even more to the plight of the Jews and endorsed their establishment of a home state.

Why do you think political parties emerged even though most Americans opposed them?
shepuryov [24]
<span>To divide we the people to weaken us, set us against each other with blame games and propaganda. Party loyalty blinders keep us from watching too closely what our own party representatives are doing against our own interests. 
Like professional wrestlers they appear to be bitter rivals in public but are the best of friends behind closed doors. They have led us to think that only someone from their parties can win an election. If we vote for a third party candidate we have "thrown our vote away" on someone who stands no chance of winning and let that "evil other party" candidate win. We feel compelled to vote for the "lesser" of the two evils being offered. 
Consider this: Both parties of the Senate said that the TARP bill lacked oversight to protect the taxpayer's money (concerning the original 3 page one passed by the House of Representatives). They claimed they were going to add protection and oversight to it. Then behind closed doors they added 137 pages of earmark spending and NO oversight or protection. Bush signed it and they closed the 110 Session of Congress knowing that they had an automatic pay raise in place. Both parties were involved so no evil other party blame games could be played. 
Instead they faked outrage when the AIG bonus news came out and blamed the Management for not following rules which they had failed to put into the TARP bill in the first place. Watch this video
