For about 2 centuries, ever since Spain had begun to start conquering the New World for gold, and France had begun to create a monopoly with the fur trade, Britain watched with jealousy as their European rivals (Spain, France, and Britain had been at odds forI don't even know how long). Anyway, Britain wanted their portion of the New World. In the 1580s, Walter Raleigh sent a group to establish a English settlement on an island near North Carolina. But they ran out of food and were forced to abandon the colony. In 1587, Raleigh sent another group to try again, however, they ran low on food as well. John White, the colony's leader went back to England to get supplies. When he returned to America, the colony of Roanoke was nowhere to be found. Oooh, spooky. Anyway, some time later, in 1607, the Virginia Company of England sent an expedition to Virginia to establish a colony. This group, led by John Smith, (remember John Smith and Pocahontas?). This group did manage to finally establish a permanent colony in America, the main purpose of which was to look for gold. This colony became known as the colony of Jamestown.

the assassination of president lincoln was just one part of a larger plot to decapitate the federal government of the u.s. after the civil war. the first reaction to lincoln’s death was disbelief. then it quickly changed to grief. abraham lincoln’s death created an outpouring of grief from citizens in both the north and the south.

explanation:

lincoln was the first u.s. president to be assassinated. president abraham lincoln, america’s civil war leader, was assassinated just five days after confederate general robert e. lee surrendered his army at appomattox court house, ending the four-year war between the states. on the evening of april 14, 1865, lincoln was attending a performance of our american cousin at ford’s theatre in washington, d.c. john wilkes booth – a 26-year old actor, confederate sympathizer, and white supremacist – slipped into the presidential box and shot lincoln in the head. john wilkes booth and his conspirators had initially planned to kidnap lincoln to save the confederate states. but as the confederacy faltered, booth’s thoughts turned to murder. booth may have decided to act on his hatred after lincoln endorsed giving the right to vote to african-american men who had served in the union army.
