The Different viewpoints of what happened to the
missing people. Jamestown is thought by most of
our general population to be the first colony in
the New World. This is only half true. Jamestown
is considered our first successful colony, however

were a few attempts to colonize the New World
before Jamestown and one in particular that is

Curule Aedile, and during his reign, he instituted
the Gladiatorial Games. These games made Caesar
extremely popular with every aspect of life from
the plebeians (common people) to the highest of
classes. When Caesar returned to Rome in 60 BC,

Gram Negative Petri Dishes

Abstract/Summary: Changing our focus from the
properties and functions that take place within
the cell to the actual cell itself, we observed
three specific bacterial types within this lab:
Gram-positive bacteria, Gram-negative bacteria,
and cyanobacteria. We closely observed the
features of cyanobacteria and were able to
differentiate them from other bacteria. We
specifically observed gloeocapsa, merismopedia,
anabaena, and oscillator. In addition to this we
observed the different characteristi...

Negative Effect Raw Materials
711 words
British imperialism on India had many positive and
negative affects on both the mother country,
Britain and the colony, India. Many people would
argue which effects were more prominent in these
countries and some would agree that they were
equal. But in both cases there were actually both.
In India the British colonization had more
positive affects than negative. For Instance, When
the British colonized India they built 40, 000
miles of railroad and 70, 000 miles of paved
roadway. As a result th...

People Of England Magna Carta
1,150 words
That government is best which governs least, said
Henry Thoreau. All governments governed the way
they thought was best, but there was no consensus
as to which one worked the finest. Obviously,
Thoreau thought the best was the one with little
governing. A few hundred years ago, many European
nations set up colonies in the New World, each
governing in their own way. The English colony of
Jamestown and the Spanish colonies are examples.
Even though their thoughts on government were very
different,...

Today, the United States of America is a very
racially and religiously diverse society. We saw
the seeds of diversity being sown in the early
days of colonization when the Chesapeake and New
England colonies grew into distinctive societies.
Even though both regions were primarily English,
they had similarities as well as striking
differences. The differentiating characteristics
among the Chesapeake and New England colonies
developed due to geography, religion, and motives
for colonial expansion....

Coral reefs are among the most varied and

the warm, clear, shallow waters of tropical oceans
worldwide. Reefs have functions from providing
food and shelter to fish and invertebrates to

North Carolina Population Increase
592 words
The colony of North Carolina faced problems unique
to itself preceding the Revolution. The colony had
a general low diversity in its population, with
most citizens being farmers. It suffered from
internal unrest just before the American
Revolution as a result of the War of Regulation
(1768 - 1771). Also contributing to civil dismay
within the colony was the large population of
Tories, which later led to an overwhelming sense
of anti-federalism within the colony. These
factors contribute to a col...
