Rockefeller organized the Standard Oil Company of Ohio in 1870, attempting to eliminate the middlemen and knock out his competitors. By 1877, he controlled 95% of all the oil refineries in the nation. -Rockefeller grew to such a great power by eliminating his competitors.

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.

Colonies

Queen Elizabeth I

The bleak coast of Newfoundland was the scene of the first English attempt at colonization. This effort collapsed when its promoter, Sir Humphrey Gilbert, lost his life at sea in 1583. Gilbert?s ill-starred dream inspired his half brother, Sir Walter Raleigh, to try again in warmer climes. Raleigh organized a group of settlers who landed in 1585 on North Carolina?s Roanoke Island, off the coast of Virginia (named by the ?Virgin Queen? Elizabeth in honor of herself). With Raleigh busy at home, the Roanoke colony mysteriously vanished, swallowed up by the wilderness; the lost colony.
