  3. Arrived in DC (actually 14 miles out). Will go to church tomorrow and museums. Will continue to realize that politicians out for number 1!
  4. Become united, and they declare Independence. Very NICE recreations in Colonial Williamsburg, KUDOS to all of the residents and volunteers
  5. Boston Tea Party, 20 or so make English impose martial law. Other colonies fear what happened in Boston can happen on the other colonies...

  14. Yes, where they train our spies. Re-stocking piers for Atlantic fleet. Don't forget this is submarine and Navy country. Very proud residents
  15. From the English government. Sounds familiar....Saw Yorktown and the original landing site! I noticed some modern stuff tooo. CIA training..
  16. Whatever they would bring back from America they would be able to sell easily. Well, later the Virginia Co went bankrupt and had a bailout..
  17. Knowing full well there was no gold or silver in the region. BUT, they knew that it was going to be profitable for the TRAVELERS, because...
  18. Like many investment pitches, the original investors in Virginia Company were sold the expedition would bring back lots of gold and silver..
  19. Now I don't feel bad. Because I spend so much time looking for ways to make more mula, maybe one of those thngs will have some social value.
  20. What was the reason behind the first settlement or the first ships sent in 1607 to Virginia? Freedom, Religion, NO it was all to make money!
