Name Teacher AP U.S. History 10 September, 2013 Chapter 4 American Life in the Seventeenth Century The Unhealthy Chesapeake Life of Americans living in the Wilderness Life was hard, short, and very unforgiving for the earliest of settlers in the Chesapeake. There were many diseases like malaria, dysentery, and typhoid that the settlers encountered. The diseases and harsh life shortened life expectancy of the settlers by as much as 10 years for newcomers from England. There was slow population growth during the 1600s in the Chesapeake. Most immigrants were young males from England. Many of them died after arrival from England. There were very few women, and most men could not find mates. There were very few families. The Colony endures its struggle.

Sholan Kunjappan Mr.DeFilippis APUSHII January 23, 2013 ?When the Negro was in Vogue? Harlem in the 1920?s represented a very large change that would help change almost everything. Black discrimination seemed to slow down as whites began to accept blacks from Harlem. Celebrities would travel to Harlem in the nights to sit in the pubs. Although this annoyed the common Harlemite, it gave exposure to many Negro ideas made them very public. America was greatly changed as white America began to become fascinated by Harlem and the population that resided in it.
