Thank you your honor. And before I give my opening statement I?d just like to thank the witnesses, my opponents, and the judge for participating in this trial. Ladies and gentlemen, Franklin Delano Roosevelt is a man who not only deserves his face to be put on Mt. Rushmore among many of the nation?s other most prominent leaders, but in fact it would be downright disrespectful to award this avid public servant with anything less. Not only has this man literally given his life for the betterment of his country, but he has done so flawlessly. Over the past twenty years, this country has and continues to see prosperity as a result of the implementation of the New Deal economic policies which only president Roosevelt can account for, unlike his do-nothing predecessors.

1 THE GIANT AHAP REVIEW OUTLINE! By Susanna, Horace Greeley High School Europeans Colonize North America (1600 ? 1640) *English Interest in Colonization* - By the sixteenth century, many countries, including Spain, France and the Netherlands, had established colonies in the New World. Until the foundation of Jamestown, however, the English didn?t have any successful permanent colonies in North America. - Prior to Jamestown, Sir Walter Raleigh of the Sea Dogs formed a joint stock company and received a charter to found a colony on Roanoke Island in 1584. It failed, and he tried again in 1585 and 1587. Both were failures, and the fate of the 1587 colony remains a mystery (all colonists disappeared).
