I was asked by my parents, to pick the state Missouri, or the state Virginia to move to because they got a job offer to the same corporation, and was going to get paid the same amount of income roll in either state. After my research, I came up with the state that I think would fit my family and me best. If I had to choose between Missouri or Virginia, I would choose Virginia because of many reasons. Virginia has better education, jobs, and economy. Virginia also has better activities, attractions
There have been numerous opinions on what would be considered a success o Jamestown settlement. As we know Jamestown was one of the “late comers” colonies developed in the New World. As time goes on archeologist and those who specialized in studying the colonial times has continued to express their opinion of a successful colony. Professor Edward S. Morgan historian at Yale University and Professor Karen Kupperman analysis of The Jamestown Project is a perfect example these archeologist. Morgan and
When I was a small child, I remember my parents crossing the James River on the ferry in Surry County while taking my brother and me to Jamestown. At the time, I thought it was thrilling to ride the ferry. It was fun to stand out at the bow and watch as we went over the river to the other side where the boats are docked at Jamestown. We fed the birds on the front deck, and I also remember going up into the top of the ferry where they had a seated area that allowed someone to get out of the wind and

Portsmouth and didn’t develop tolls until February 2014 (Kelly 2014). This new toll forces residents, commuters, and visitors to pay a tax starting from one dollar to four dollars. The recent tunnel tolls added to the mid-town and downtown tunnels in Hampton roads are causing commuters and citizens to make some drastic lifestyle changes. Students and employees are considering changes to their employment and the universities they attend to save time and money as a result of the cost of commuting. If the
John Smith in Jamestown The leadership strengths and weaknesses of John Smith evoked a profound effect on the Jamestown colony. The fact that Smith actually arrived in the colony as a common prisoner and was able to achieve the leadership role that he gained is amazing. His creativity and knowledge in certain areas actually saved the colonists from attack and starvation in the early days. Some of the rules he enforced as a leader were actually instrumental in saving the colony. His skill in
All About Ironclads and the Battle of Hampton Roads (The Union's Cheesebox on a Raft VS The Confederation’s Upside-Down Bathtub) Have you heard of the term ‘Ironclads’? Probably not, due to it being a term not often used in modern day. Ironclads are, in fact, ships reinforced, or even made, with iron (hence the name). Modern day officers describe these ships as ‘common battleships’ or ‘old timers’, but about 155 years ago, ironclads were the most powerful and feared warships of the sea. At the time
The Battle of Hampton Roads was the first battle between ironclad warships. It was a navy battle between the Union Monitor and the Confederate CSS Virginia. This battle was fought on March 8-9, 1862 and lasted two days. The Battle of Hampton Roads is also known as the Battle of Ironclads and the Monitor vs. Merrimack. This took place at Swell’s point, which was a peninsula in Norfolk, Virginia located at the port of Hampton Roads. The Battle of Hampton Roads was fought because the Confederates wanted
a joint Army-Navy expedition, where she would join the blockade off Charleston.” Aforementioned, the USS Monitor’s river combat features such as the low freeboard and its heavy revolving gun turret made the ironclad warship vulnerable to the high tides of the ocean. On an unfaithful day of 31 December 1862, the USS Monitor, towed by the USS Rhode Island, was taking in a copious amount of water during a heavy storm. Captain John Bankhead of the USS Monitor immediately sent a distressed signal to the
commanders, an adaptable lifestyle, and a passion for “The Cause”. It took four years (1861-1865) before the Civil War was resolved. The first two years proved to be successful for the CSA, but as the war dragged on and after the battle of Gettysburg, the tide turned in favor of the North. Ultimately, the seceded states were reunited with the Union and are part of the United States as we know it today. In the year of 1861 the North had approximately 22 million people. The South, in comparison, had a population
The Slave Trade in Colonial America The first blacks in the American Colonies were brought in, like many lower-class whites, as indentured servants. Most indentured servants had a contract to work without wages for a master for four to seven years, after which they became free. Blacks brought in as slaves, however, had no right to eventual freedom. The first black indentured servants arrived in Jamestown in the colony of Virginia in 1619. They had been captured in Africa and were sold at
