Jamestown, Virginia is an important historical site. Jamestown was founded on April 26, 1607 as the settlers built a fort on the island and named it after their king, James. “Jamestown became the first successful, permanent English settlement in the new world.” When the settlers arrived, water was unsafe to drink, and food was very scarce. “John Smith, a military man, became head of the colony in 1608.” The Algonquin speaking people lived there and John Smith traded with the Indians and later he and the daughter of the chief became friends. Their new representative government was no longer a monarchy, it allowed people to choose leaders that they felt represented them. Jamestown is an important site “since it was the start of a representative government and the settlers gave America a solid base to build on.”
Chief Cameawhait’s sister, Sacagawea, was very special to him. After she was captured, he missed her very much. He tried to stay strong and smiling but deep down he was feeling pain. When he saw the children playing games, he remembered when he and his sister played games together. Even though he hated how irritating she could be, “he loved her strong and assertive manner.” He cared about her a lot and thought about her non-stop. A man named Lewis had his sister traveling with him. When Sacagawea and Lewis arrived to the Shoshone Territory and she recognized her brother, she ran to him with tears. The pain that Cameawhait had carried for so many long years had finally gone when he saw his sister. This tells us that Sacagawea was a big part of his life if he held on for so long to their memories. The day they were reunited was told in stories and sang in songs for generations.
Salt was used very differently by Romans than it is used today. Salt is a mineral also known as “Sodium- Chloride”. Salt is important since human beings can’t survive without it. Salt is found in our tears, sweat, blood, and saliva. If our body has no salt our nerves, cells, and muscles can’t function correctly. The Romans used salt in many ways. The citizens were paid in salt blocks but, now we are payed in cash. Romans built roads used only for transporting salt. Nowadays, we build roads for cars, trucks, and for transporting goods. Romans built villages along the coast so they could harvest salt from the ocean. We don’t need to do that anymore and we have homes all over the place. Romans also kept salt away from other countries during wars. Today, we don’t worry if salt is in warzones. Like the text says, “salt played a role in the history of our country.” The one thing that Romans and the people of today can agree on is that salt is very valuable.
