Regional Differences




Our nation did not develop the same way all over the country. The Northeast evolved differently than the South. The South is different than the Midwest.

Questions to consider:


What factors led to these differences in regional growth? Has the formation of distinct regions in the U.S. led to any rivalries or competitive spirits?

Colonies




A little over 400 years ago The English established their first settlement in Jamestown. Jamestown experienced many difficulties before finally becoming successful. They were faced with starvation, disease, exposure to harsh climates, and conflicts with themselves and Native Americans.

Establishing a colony can be pretty risky. Not only is there a risk of the unknown, but it is a financial risk as well. Currently people are looking ahead and wondering what the future might hold for us. There might be a time when we colonize other planets. This leads us to our topic of discussion.

Questions To Consider:

If we were to begin colonizing space, what problems might we encounter? Would we have any similar difficulties as the Jamestown colonists?
