In 1607, the first permanent British colony was established in Jamestown in the Chesapeake Bay region by the Virginia Company, a joint stock company that received a charter from King James I and sold shares to raise funds. The colonists, led by Captain John Smith, settled at the mouth of the James River. Early years were difficult; the colonists faced conflicts with natives, starvation, and difficulties finding stable sources of food and support. Experiments with tobacco proved successful and the exportable commodity became Virginia’s main source of revenue, providing many of its landowning gentry a comfortable lifestyle throughout the next century and beyond. Half of the settlers in the southern colonies came to America as indentured servants—laborers working on four- to seven-year contracts to repay an agency or person for passage across the Atlantic. Once free of their contract, they were given a small tract of land in the colony. The exception to this rule was African slaves.
Lord Baltimore of England founded the colony of Maryland. He was Catholic and drew up a charter allowing the establishment of churches of all religions. By the third quarter of the seventeenth century, Virginia and Maryland had established a strong economic and social structure; they were agrarian societies with expansive farmlands along the region’s rivers. The planters of the tidewater region, using abundant slave labor, had large houses, an aristocratic way of life, and a desire to follow the art and culture of Europe. Less wealthy German and Scots-Irish immigrants settled inland, populating the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia as well as the Appalachian Mountains. Those on the frontier built small cabins and cultivated corn and wheat.
The Mid-Atlantic region was the second area of North America to be settled by European immigrants. In 1609, the Dutch East India Company sent Henry Hudson to explore the area around present-day New York City and the river north. His claims led to the establishment of a colony named New Netherland. Its capital, New Amsterdam, looked like a Dutch town, with its winding streets, canals, brick houses, and gabled roofs. The Dutch focused on the fur trade, exchanging European-made metal utensils with the local Iroquois, who controlled the industry. To finance settlement, rich Dutch gentlemen who agreed to transport fifty people to America received enormous estates along the Hudson. These “patroons” ruled their lands like feudal lords, and grew immensely wealthy from the labor and crops of the tenant farmers who settled on their land (52.77.46). In 1664, the British took control of New Netherland and the name of the territory was changed to New York. The Dutch settlers were able to retain their properties and worship as they please. The Colonial Dutch style of art and life remained pervasive in New York throughout the eighteenth century (09.175).
In 1611, William Penn, a wealthy Quaker and friend of King Charles II of England, received a large tract of land west of the Delaware River. Penn encouraged other European religious dissenters to emigrate by promising them religious freedom. Quakers, Amish, Baptists, and Mennonites settled along the Delaware River. The middle colonies remained more tolerant of nonconformity than New England and the South. Pennsylvania grew rapidly. German farmers, mostly from the Rhine region, settled in the countryside of Pennsylvania, establishing prosperous farms and the industries of weaving, shoemaking, and cabinetmaking. In the early eighteenth century, large numbers of Scots-Irish also settled in the rural areas of Pennsylvania, supporting themselves with hunting and farming. By 1685, Pennsylvania’s population was almost 9,000. Within a hundred years, its main city, Philadelphia, had 30,000 inhabitants.
New England was the third region to be settled. Religious dissenters actively sought to reform the Church of England. A group of these “Separatists” (later known as “Pilgrims”) left England for Holland, then looked to the English land claims for a settlement where they could establish their own religious experiment. Their ship, the Mayflower, landed in Plymouth. A larger and more prosperous group of 900 Puritans, led by the lawyer John Winthrop, emigrated in 1630. The Massachusetts Bay Colony, centered in Boston, ruled itself rather than be governed by company directors in England. Most of the settlers came over as whole families, and tried to re-create, as closely as possible, their lives in England.
Not all the English emigrants adhered to the Puritan lifestyle. When Massachusetts banished the young minister Roger Williams for his unorthodox views, he purchased land from the Narragansett Indians in the area around Providence, Rhode Island. This colony instituted the separation of church and state and freedom of religion (2010.356). At the same time, other areas were settled along the Maine and New Hampshire coasts and the Connecticut River valley.

7. What comparisons does Douglass make between the ships
and himself?
Answer:
Douglass recalls that he spent his hardest times as a slave during his first six months rented to Covey. Douglass becomes deadened by work, exhaustion, and Covey’s repeated punishments. Douglass loses his spirit, his intellect, his desire to learn, and his natural cheerfulness. Sunday is the slaves’ only leisure time, and Douglass usually spends the day in a stupor in the shade. He considers killing himself, or even Covey, but he is paralyzed by both hope and fear.
Covey’s house is situated near the banks of the Chesapeake Bay, where large ships with white sails travel past. To Douglass, these ships symbolize freedom, cruelly reminding him of his own enslaved condition. Douglass recalls standing on the bank and speaking aloud to the ships, asking them why they should be free and he enslaved. He begs for God’s deliverance and then wonders if there actually is a God. He vows to run away.
Explanation:
I hope it helps btw please follow me!! tysm
For Douglass, the ships' journey northward between ports seemed to symbolize emancipation from slavery. Additionally, the white sails of their boat, which Douglass equates with angels, allude to spiritualism or the liberation that comes with it.
What comparisons does Douglass make?Douglass says that his first six months of being rented to Covey were his most difficult as a slave. Work, tiredness and Covey's constant punishments cause Douglass to become lifeless. In addition to losing his spirit, intellect, curiosity, and inherent joy, Douglass also loses his drive to learn. He thinks about murdering himself or even Covey, but hope and terror paralyze him.
Covey's home is located close to the Chesapeake Bay's shoreline, where huge ships with white sails pass by frequently. These ships represent freedom to Douglass, brutally reminding him of his own captive state.
Douglass remembers questioning the ships out loud about why they should be liberated while he was enslaved while he was standing on the riverbank and talking to the ships.

what are the advantages and disadvantages of federal financing
Answer:
Public funding are funds or resources provided by the State/Government for political parties and/or candidates. Provisions often state that political parties and candidates should have an equitable access to public funds. Oftentimes, the rules regarding public funding are not clearly stated in law, and even if they are, there is often a (real or perceived) misuse of public resources by the incumbent party or candidate. The legal framework can be drafted in a way as to encourage the founding and sustainability of a multi-party system. Ongoing oversight from a responsible government body combined with public (civil society) oversight through CSO watchdog capacity also can improve the monitoring and full disclosure of funding across party lines and in lines and consistent with the intent of full disclosure and fairness in campaign financing.[1]
Depending on the form in which public resources are made available, public funding is divided into direct public funding or indirect public funding.
Direct public funding is given to political parties and/or candidates in the form of money – usually as bank transfers but at times in cash or cheque.
Indirect public funding is when resources with a monetary value is provided by the Government to political parties and/or candidates.
Arguments against public funding
Those who oppose public funds to political parties or candidates often use one or several of the following arguments:
Public funding increases the distance between political elites (party leadership, candidates) and ordinary citizens (party members, supporters, voters)
When political parties and candidates do not depend on their supporters or members neither for monetary contributions (membership, donations) nor for voluntary labour, they might be less likely to involve them in party decisions or consult their opinions on policy issues.
Public funding preserves a status quo that keeps the established parties and candidates in power
Public funds are often allocated among political parties and candidates in the national legislature. This may make it more difficult for new political forces to gain representation. The legal framework can limit this negative influence by providing special funds for new political parties or candidates.
Through public funds, taxpayers are forced to support political parties and candidates whose views they do not share
Many believe that ordinary taxpayers should not be forced – through the public purse – to support political parties or candidates that they would never choose to vote for. Instead they should have the possibility to decide if and when they want to donate money to a political party or candidate.
Public funds to political parties and candidates takes money away from schools and hospitals to give to rich politicians
When introduced, public funding is often unpopular among the public. Public resources are scarce and needed for everything from schools and hospitals to roads and salaries for staff. To many people, using public funds to give to political parties and candidates would be far down their list of priorities.
Political parties and candidates both take the decision and collect the money
The decision to allocate public funds to parties and candidates is most often taken in the national legislature (or in some cases in the Government). This means that the political parties and candidates who will collect the money, also take the decision.
Political parties risk becoming organs of the State rather than parts of civil society
If all or a substantial amount of the party income comes directly from the State rather than from voluntary sources, political parties risk losing their independence and become organs of the State, thereby losing their ties to the civil society.

How did the fur trade affect the interactions of the First Nations, the French, and the British in Canada?
Answer:
The fur trade provided Indigenous peoples with European goods that they could use for gift-giving ceremonies , to improve their social status and to go to war. The French forged military alliances with their Indigenous allies in order to maintain good trade and social relations.
Explanation:
First Nations people gathered furs and brought them to posts to trade for textiles, tools, guns, and other goods.The exchange benefited both of the trade partners because they each had something that the other valued and did not have. Beaver was so valuable that it became almost like money.
The fur trade was the most important industry in New France. With the money they made from furs, the French sent settlers to Canada. These were mainly traders and religious missionaries. Missionaries worked to convert Indigenous people to Christianity
