Assessment: introductory paragraph & thesis write an opening paragraph for an essay, including thesis statement, answering this prompt: some historians have argued that the settlement of the english colonies was undertaken in a haphazard manner, with little regard to the geography, climate, peoples, or practical demands of the new world. support, modify, or refute this contention using specific evidence.

I think that This is correct, the very reason for English settlers coming to U.S is haphazard. They came here in search for religious freedom from the British crown, and forced there way onto America. From then on they have used the land, gotten sick and died, searched for treasure destroyed the land and fought with Indians. The situations that brought them to settle in America and their dissensions afterwords set the building blocks for an extremely haphazard way of life. They killed many Indians made treaties and broke them, mined the earth for oil and made war with Brittan 2 times. Also their greed for money and industrialization was also out of control. All in all the settlements of early America, was forced due to oppression and was never gilded into a thoughtful manner. 

All this needs is specific detail which i can't do since i don't have your book or curriculum.

hi there!

question - in the 1900s there were two competing views about the environment that often pitted industrialist and conservationist against one another. how were these two competing views demonstrated by the environmental policies of president roosevelt and president taft?

theodore had a quicked tempered personality while president taft was shy and barely noticable.theodore had started a dealing service with big companies which president taft completed.both were into making sure workers were always safe.president taft took the presidency more serious than theodore did.both loved to save nature.
