Answer:

Settlers were given land and, in return, were expected to farm and build on it.

Explanation:

The Headright System was a land granting system designed to attract settlers to the colonies. A piece of land was offered “headlights” to settlers who would work on the land. The first to offer headlights was the Virginia Company and it was an interesting system because it allowed poor people to move to the new world and have their land when they did not have been able to afford it. Most of the headright lands would become tobacco farms with 50 acres.

bearhunter [10]

Answer: Rachel carson's 1962 Silent Spring was ground breaking work in regards to the topic of pesticide.

What diss president Coolidge mean when he said the chief of buisness of the American people is business
MariettaO [177]

Calvin Coolidge, the 30th president of United States, meant that the government should be business friendly, in context to his famous quote where he said "the chief of business of the American people is business".

According to him, the Americans were very concerned about the economy and their personal prosperity and was inclined to praise the major business leaders and the business community, giving them the credit for the economic prosperity of the country.

But if we read on the complete quote, we can conclude that he did not only emphasize on business or wealth accumulation alone rather talked about peace and honor as the core values of America.
