Read the excerpt from A True and Historical Narrative of the Colony of Georgia. The First Thing he [Oglethorpe] did after he arrived in Georgia, was to make a kind of solemn Treaty with a Parcel of fugitive Indians . . . . and all of them have been ever since maintain'd at the Publick Charge, at vast Expence, when many poor Christians were starving in the Colony . . . a larger Sum of Money has been expended for the Support of those useless Vagrants, than ever was laid out for the Encouragement of Silk, Wine, or any other Manufacture in the Colony.

Which statement best sums up Tailfer’s point of view?

Oglethorpe’s first treaty should have been with the Spanish, not the Indians.
Rather than help the Indians, Oglethorpe should have helped the settlers.
Oglethorpe was right to try to establish good relations with the Indians.
Rather than encouraging farming, Oglethorpe should have helped the Indians.

Charity should not be given to American Indians at the colonists’ expense

Explanation:

the earth’s crust is broken into separate pieces called tectonic plates (fig. 7.14). recall that the crust is the solid, rocky, outer shell of the planet. it is composed of two distinctly different types of material: the less-dense continental crust and the more-dense oceanic crust. both types of crust rest atop solid, upper mantle material. the upper mantle, in turn, floats on a denser layer of lower mantle that is much like thick molten tar.

each tectonic plate is free-floating and can move independently. earthquakes and volcanoes are the direct result of the movement of tectonic plates at fault lines. the term fault is used to describe the boundary between tectonic plates. most of the earthquakes and volcanoes around the pacific ocean basin—a pattern known as the “ring of fire”—are due to the movement of tectonic plates in this region. other observable results of short-term plate movement include the gradual widening of the great rift lakes in eastern africa and the rising of the himalayan mountain range. the motion of plates can be described in four general patterns:

collision: when two continental plates are shoved together

subduction: when one plate plunges beneath another (fig. 7.15)

spreading: when two plates are pushed apart (fig. 7.15)

transform faulting: when two plates slide past each other (fig. 7.15)
