North America Geog
The Beringia land bridge exposed during the last ice age, between 12,000-9,000 years ago, allowed humans, animals, and plants to migrate between Siberia and Alaska. Around this time, many large mammal species in North America went extinct, possibly due to overhunting by humans or climate change. Key landforms shared between the US and Canada include the Appalachian Mountains, Canadian Shield, Great Plains, Mississippi River, Rocky Mountains, and Continental Divide.
Massachusetts
Massachusetts has various water features like the Atlantic Ocean, Cape Cod Bay, and Massachusetts Bay. The state also contains major rivers such as the Charles and Connecticut Rivers. Landforms include the Appalachian Mountains and the highest point is Mt. Greylock at 3,487 feet, while the lowest is the Atlantic Ocean at sea level. Vegetation differs with the western rocky climate and eastern flat low hills, lakes, and rivers.

Harriet Tubman supported the Underground Railroad, which helped enslaved African Americans escape. Reconstruction was the period after the Civil War when Congress passed laws to rebuild the South. John Brown led a raid on Harpers Ferry in an attempt to start a slave rebellion. The differences between the Northern and Southern states over slavery and states' rights led to the Civil War. Abraham Lincoln was president during the Civil War. After Reconstruction, Jim Crow laws enforced racial segregation and discrimination against African Americans in Virginia.
Vs9 review
The document summarizes changes in Virginia during the 20th century, including the transition from an agricultural to urban society. As old farming systems became ineffective and crop prices declined, many people moved from rural to urban areas, causing Virginia's cities to grow. Technological advances in transportation supported this urban growth. Virginia initially resisted the Supreme Court's 1954 ruling in Brown v. Board of Education that ended racial segregation in public schools through a policy of "Massive Resistance." However, this resistance ultimately failed and schools were integrated. The document also profiles several famous 20th century Virginians from this time period.
Vs8 review
Reconstruction in Virginia faced many economic problems following the Civil War. The economy and infrastructure were in ruins, with destroyed railroads, bridges, plantations and crops. Freed slaves also needed basic necessities. To address these issues, the Freedman's Bureau provided assistance to freed slaves while sharecropping became a common system for freedmen and poor white farmers. However, African Americans saw many of the rights and freedoms gained during Reconstruction taken away after it ended, when Jim Crow laws enforced racial segregation and discrimination.

Nat Turner led a slave rebellion in Virginia in 1831. Harriet Tubman established the Underground Railroad to help escaped slaves. John Brown led an unsuccessful raid on Harper's Ferry in 1859 trying to start a slave rebellion. The North wanted new western states to be free states while the South wanted them to be slave states, contributing to tensions between the regions. The Civil War began after southern states seceded to form the Confederacy in response to Abraham Lincoln's election in 1860. Major battles and events included Bull Run, Monitor vs. Merrimack, Fredericksburg, and the creation of West Virginia. The war ended with Lee's surrender to Grant at Appomattox Court House in 1865.
Vs4 review, 2008
The colonial Virginia economy depended on agriculture, especially the profitable cash crop of tobacco. Tobacco cultivation required a large, inexpensive labor force, so Africans were brought as slaves. The Virginia colony became dependent on slave labor for tobacco plantations. English settlers lived primarily in the Tidewater and Piedmont regions, while Germans, Scots-Irish, Africans, and American Indians each settled in different areas. The capital moved from Jamestown to Williamsburg due to health issues, then to Richmond as the population moved westward. People used barter, tobacco, and credit since money was scarce in colonial Virginia.
Unit 10 lesson 1 what is electricity
1) Atoms are made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons have a positive charge, electrons have a negative charge, and neutrons have no charge.
2) When an atom gains or loses electrons, its overall charge changes. Static electricity occurs when an imbalance of charges builds up in objects.
3) During thunderstorms, positive and negative charges separate in clouds and between clouds and the ground, causing lightning when the charge difference becomes too great.
Unit 1 lesson 1 what do scientist do
Scientists study the natural world by making observations, asking questions, and conducting investigations and experiments. They use the scientific method, which involves forming hypotheses and testing them through experiments and research. Scientists work in various fields like earth science, life science and physical science. They share their results and conclusions, which are based on evidence gathered during their investigations.
Force motionreview
The document discusses key concepts in physics including motion, forces, energy, and frames of reference. It defines motion as a change in an object's position over time. A frame of reference is used to describe an object's position, and an object's speed is defined as the distance it moves over a certain amount of time. Forces are measured in units and friction creates heat as it slows objects. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion while potential energy is the energy of position.

The three major Native American language groups found in Virginia were the Iroquoian, Siouan, and Algonquian languages. The Iroquoian languages were spoken in southwestern and southern Virginia. The Siouan languages were spoken primarily in the Piedmont region. The Algonquian language was spoken mainly in the Tidewater region. The Powhatan people helped the Jamestown settlers survive by providing leadership, teaching survival skills, serving as a liaison through Pocahontas, and showing the settlers how to plant corn and tobacco. However, over time the Native Americans came to view the settlers as invaders taking over their land.

6a sources of colonial dissatisfaction
As Great Britain sought to tighten its control over the American colonies following the French and Indian War, colonial dissatisfaction grew. Great Britain imposed taxes like the Stamp Act to raise revenue to pay off war debts. Additionally, the Proclamation of 1763 restricted colonial expansion westward. This increased control and taxation without colonial representation in Parliament led many colonists to become resentful of British rule and dissatisfied with their lack of autonomy, sowing the seeds for the American Revolutionary War.
Powerpoint 1.5c
Large landowners in the South relied on indentured servants and slaves to work their land, while farmers worked according to their region's crops and relied on family labor. Artisans worked as craftsmen in towns and plantations. Women worked as caretakers and homemakers within the home and had limited education and no right to vote. Indentured servants agreed to work without pay to pay for their passage to the colonies and would become free after their contract ended, while slaves were captured in Africa and sold as property for life without rights or chance of freedom.
5d colonial relationships
Great Britain established control over the colonies by imposing strict economic regulations on trade and taxing the colonies after the French and Indian War, and maintained political control by enforcing British laws through appointed colonial governors who monitored the legislatures of each colony.
