What is the main idea of the likeness across the Atlantic by Peter Baldwin?
"The Likeness Across the Atlantic" by Peter Baldwin explores the cultural, social, and political parallels between Europe and the United States, particularly in the context of 19th and 20th-century developments. Baldwin examines how shared histories, values, and experiences have shaped transatlantic relations and influenced contemporary issues. The work delves into the complexities of identity and the impacts of globalization on both sides of the Atlantic. Ultimately, it highlights the interconnectedness and mutual influence of these regions throughout history.
Of the 14 states bordering on the Atlantic which has the least oceanfront with only 13 miles?
New Hampshire
What was carried west across the Atlantic in coulmbus excahnge?
This list is not by any means complete, but these are the basics. The items listed are unique to each region, I did not include items that already existed in Europe but were imported in huge numbers after Columbus (such as gold, for example.)
This is sometimes referred to as the Columbian Exchange, however the true columbian exchange includes items from Africa as well and refers to a circular trade route between Europe, the americas and Africa. Slaves would go from Africa to the Americas and trade goods would return from the Americas to Europe. The ships would empty their loads of gold, tobacco, etc in europe and then head to Africa to trade finished goods for more slaves. Then the cycle would repeat. This is also sometimes referred to as the columbian triangle.
From Europe to the Americas
Bubonic Plague
Smallpox
Horses
Cattle
Sheep
Pigs (?) - these may have been raised in remote parts of the Andes
Advanced Metallurgy (At least for iron working)
Wool
Barley (?)
Sugar Cane
Rice
Religion **I did not list for reverse because there were no native american missions in Europe**
Slaves(?) - although some native tribes did practice slavery, plantation style slavery was brought to the Americas by Europe. The distinction is not a subtle one.
From the Americas to Europe:
Cocoa
Tobacco
Corn
Tomatoes
Potatoes
Syphilis (?) - this is still under debate but the evidence is pretty strong
Chili peppers
LaCrosse
Ice Cream (? - I heard this but havew not verefied)

Did Robert Ballard find the Titanic by accident?
Answer
No. He began the search in 1973, and it continued at intervals until the wreck was found in 1985, on one of the expeditions led by him. They had already searched the area believed by many to be where the ship had gone down - Boxhall's position - but were searching further afield. The expeditions needed major funding as they involved a great many people and much equipment to undertake the research.
Answer
•Robert said : Yes, I began the development of the Argo-Jason system, which was a seven-year development, to go from my dream to reality. Along the way I was building systems and testing them. So, from 1982 to 1989, I was developing a new mousetrap. I wasn't ready to do what I had designed it for: a full-fledged scientific expedition. That takes place this August. August of 1991 is my first chance to do what I dreamed of doing ten years ago. For that ten years, I was building my equipment and testing it. So, the Titanic and the Bismarck were a part of my engineering test program. They weren'tdesigned to do science, it was designed to prove I could do science. It just turned out to be what most people go interested in. I did not do all this to find the Titanic and the Bismarck. They were a by-product, now very important to the public, but that isn't what I set out to do. I set out to build this to do exploration. My reason for developing theArgo-Jason system was to improve my ability to explore the mountains of the sea, which I have been doing all of my life. I wasn't ready to take that tool down and do thatscientific thing. But I could do other things. So I said, well, here we are at Woods Hole, we are building Argo, we've got to go and test it, and we will probably go out here in the deepest water that we can get to. Well guess who's out there? The Titanic is out there. Now if the Titanic had been in the Indian Ocean, I probably would have never found it. But the fact that it was in my backyard, I went, "Let's go find the Titanic."
