GIVE ME LIBERTY
The Struggle for Self-Government in Virginia
Thomas J. Wertenbaker

Chapter I: The Cornerstone of Liberty
Three little vessels—the Susan Constant, the Godspeed, and the Discovery—left England in December, 1606, under the command of Captain Christopher Newport, to found a colony on the distant shores of Virginia. Two decades earlier Sir Walter Raleigh had sent out a group of settlers to what is now North Carolina, and they had disappeared mysteriously. What had happened to them? men asked. Had they been killed by the Indians? Had they fallen victims to disease? Had they starved? Those who shared in this new venture must have wondered if a like fate awaited them in this strange new land.

But their spirits rose when they entered Chesapeake Bay. Landing parties were delighted with the "fair meddowes ... full of flowers of divers kinds and colors," the "goodly tall trees," and the streams of fresh water. It was a smiling country which seemed to bid them welcome. But when they entered the mouth of a broad river, which they called the James in honor of their King, and made their way up into the country, new doubts must have assailed them. They knew that savages lived in the dense forests which lined both banks; might not strange wild beasts live there also? Might there not be fatal diseases unknown in Europe?

What is the main point of the "Give Me Liberty" excerpt?

(5 points)

a
A new colony would overcome the earlier hardships.
b
Once settled, the colonists would be optimistic.
c
Settlers were hopeful but had many fears.
d
Three vessels bravely went where others had failed.

Many students graduate from college with
a mountain of student loan debt that must be
paid back. Student loans can range from small
amounts to thousands upon thousands of
dollars. A large amount of debt can be a huge
burden for a young person especially when she
is early in her career and likely not earning too
much money. Our organization is proposing
that a college education should be free for all
young people so that their lives are not
negatively impacted by student loan debt. A free
education is already provided for so many years
(K-12), and we believe that the last 4 years also
be provided
3. Which detall does not make sense to add to the
possage to support the claim?
a. Students are delaying the purchase of their first
home due to student loan debt.
b. 86% of students report that they have made
career sacrifices due to student loan debt.
c. In a study, 1 in 4 adults say they may wait to get
married because they are not financially ready.
d. There are some loan forgiveness programs that
wil reduce student loan debt amounts.
