History

Answer:

Starting with Illinois in 1911, the "mother's pension" movement sought to provide state aid for poor fatherless children who would remain in their own homes cared for by their mothers. In effect, poor single mothers would be excused from working outside the home. Welfare reformers argued that the state pensions would also prevent juvenile delinquency since mothers would be able to supervise their children full-time.

By 1933, mother's pension programs were operating in all but two states. They varied greatly from state to state and even from county to county within a state. In 1934, the average state grant per child was $11 a month. Administered in most cases by state juvenile courts, mother's pensions mainly benefitted families headed by white widows. These programs excluded large numbers of divorced, deserted, and minority mothers and their children.

A strategic crossroads northeast of richmond
Flauer [41]
<span> <span>The strategic crossroads northeast of Richmond is the “Cold Harbor”.

The Battle of the Cold Harbor was on the final battles fought in 1864 during the American Civil War. The Peninsular Campaign led to a combat in between the Union led by Lt. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant and the army of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee.

When Grant was not able to break the lines drawn by Lee in Spotsylvania both the armies headed towards the Anna River that was only 25 miles from Richmond.

After this battle, Grant continued to pursue his goal of attacking the capital of the Confederate, which led to another battle just 8 miles from the northeast of Richmond, which was in the vicinity of the strategic crossroads northeast of Richmond, called Cold Harbor.

The name Cold Harbor was derived from the name of a tavern and the place was situated in between the rivers Chickahominy and Pamunkey.

What life was like in Jamestown
olya-2409 [2.1K]
Terrible. Jamestown had harsh winters and mild dry summers. They landed in winter, and almost all the settlers died that first year. It was dry and muggy, it was also swampy. It obviously got better over time. The Native Americans really helped them too.
