Captain John Smith wrote books based on his journals to persuade people to colonize America. How would a story like his capture by Powhatan and rescue by Pocahontas appeal to people who were considering moving to colonial America?

Captain John Smith's journals offer a compelling eyewitness view of the Chesapeake Bay in 1608. They describe his adventures in vivid detail, recounting where he went, what he saw and the people he met. There are successes and conflicts, wonder and worry, smooth sailing and storms, hospitality and hostility, and near starvation. His journals, published as a book in 1612, introduced this part of the world to the English for the first time and triggered a wave of colonization. The journals let people today see the Chesapeake as it was four centuries ago.

invention of the washing machine

in the past, people used sticks and stones or scrub boards to clean their clothing. as it was sweaty, backbreaking work, we owe a world of to james king because he created the model for the modern washing machine in 1851. the most important issue was that this machine cleaned clothes while a person cranked the handle. doing this made people who used it develop strong muscles in their arms. later, in 1908, alva j. fisher created an electric washing machine named thor. this one was not the first automatic washing machine. however, it was one of the most popular models at the time.
