The Pennsylvania Dutch are a cultural group formed by early German-speaking immigrants to Pennsylvania and their descendants. The word "Dutch" does not refer to the Dutch people or their descendants, but to German people whose ethnonym in their own language is Deitsch or Deutsch. Most emigrated to the U.S. from Germany or Switzerland in the 17th and 18th century. Over time, the various dialects spoken by these immigrants fused into a unique dialect of German known as Pennsylvania German or Pennsylvania "Dutch". At one time, more than one-third of Pennsylvania's population spoke this language.

amm1812

Answer:

Yes, the Bill of Rights still holds an important position in the Consitution of the United States.

Explanation:

The Bill of Rights is the term given to the first ten Constitutional amendments in the United States. Any modification to an amendment is a further amendment by description. It was meant to back up people's belief that powers not vested in the United States were retained for the people of the state. This amendment is critical as it ensures states retain control, sovereignty, independence, and freedom. Founding fathers of the American Consitution thought it thoroughly that individual rights of citizens should not be comprised by the powerful government and therefore I refrain to change anything in it.

The Louisiana Purchase
Sveta_85 [38]
The Louisiana Purchase was actually a pretty shady deal. Jefferson bought it from the french without the approval of the people. His goal was that he wanted to expand the territory of the U.S. Previously the american people wouldn't go past the mountain range for fear of foreign colonies and native Americans. This purchase also ended up opening a trade route from coast to coast. While technically Lewis and Clarke went farther than they were supposed to, there was no one that could really contest them.

Georgia's first railroad tracks were laid in the mid-1830s on routes leading from Athens, Augusta, Macon, and Savannah. Some twenty-five years later, the state not only could claim more rail miles than any other in the Deep South but also had linked its major towns and created a new rail center, Atlanta.
