I think you mean the Golden Spike which is the ceremonial final spike driven by Leland Stanford to join the rails of the First Transcontinental Railroad across the US connecting the Central Pacific and Union Pacific railroads in 1869 in Promontory, Utah.
The creation of the German Confederation in 1815 was largely in
reaction to the growing sense of German nationalism, which had not
existed in Europe prior to the 19th century. While strains of
nationalism certainly existed before the turn of the century, it was
France's conquest of the German lands in the first decade of the 19th
century that first fully aroused German nationalists into proposing a
unified, German state. Indeed, J.G. Fichte's Addresses to the German Nation, given in Berlin in 1808, called on Germans to unite under their common language and traditions.
Perhaps
no other statesman was in such a fine position to make this dream a
reality as the Chancellor of Prussia during the mid-19th century, Otto von Bismarck.
Bismarck was a fervent German nationalist who wanted a German nation,
but specifically one dominated by his Prussia. As a result, once
appointed, Chancellor Bismarck set out to strengthen and improve the
Prussian army and gain international allies that would help Prussia on
its way to unifying Germany.
Some of the main points Thomas Jefferson explain to John Dickinson about the Louisiana purchase were:
- The sole dominion of the Mississippi, excluding those bickerings with foreign powers, securing the course of a peaceable nation.
- The pretension to extend the western territory of Louisiana to the Rio Norte, or Bravo; and still stronger the eastern boundary to the Rio Perdido between the rivers Mobile & Pensacola.
- Ratification and payment, for a thing beyond the constitution, and rely on the nation to sanction an act done for its great good, without its previous authority.
- Annex New Orleans to the Mississippi territory and shut up all the rest from settlement for a long time to come, endeavoring to exchange some of the country there unoccupied by Indians for the lands held by the Indians on this side the Mississippi.
- The impost which will be paid by the inhabitants ceded will pay half the interest of the price given: so that only half will be added to the debt.
Jamestown succeeded economically by planting and selling tobaccos.
Initially the people that came to start a colony in Jamestown had to go through
a lot of hardship as the water was not good and there were a lot of mosquitoes.
The men fell sick and did not find enough food to eat. Later they started
planting tobacco plants and became rich by exporting them to England. By the
year 1675 Jamestown exported almost ten million pounds of tobacco each year.
