b-mud from the stream banks will add nutrients to the water for newly hatched fish
c-the water in the stream will get clearer because the trees will not drop as much material into the stream
d-carbon from the burned trees will fall into the water of the stream and purify it
Please refrsin from putting dumb answers (Coldorado Kid) that DO NOT pertain to what I put as answer choices.

Your teacher probably wants you to answer
a-fertilized fish eggs will be suffocated under mud and debris carried by runoff from the stream banks

The other answers are unlikely, in the short term anyway. Answer D is silly.

WASHINGTON – The archaeologists were delighted to at last find the remains of George Washington's boyhood home but got stumped when they looked for evidence of the cherry tree and rusty hatchet.

ADVERTISEMENT

"This was the setting for many important events in Washington's life," David Muraca, director of archaeology for The George Washington Foundation, announced Wednesday.

Most biographies offer little detail of the first president's youth, so the discovery may provide insight into Washington's childhood, he said. The site is located at Ferry Farm, just across the Rappahannock River from Fredericksburg, Va., about 50 miles south of Washington.

Philip Levy, associate professor of history at the University of South Florida, found evidence that the house was a one-and-a-half-story residence perched on a bluff overlooking the river.

"If George Washington did indeed chop down a cherry tree, as generations of Americans have believed, this is where it happened," said Levy. The researchers said the artifacts they have recovered did not include a hatchet.

"There is little actual documentary evidence of Washington's formative years. What we see at this site is the best available window into the setting that nurtured the father of our country," Levy said.

Three likely locations were excavated over seven years. The site where the foundations of Washington's home were discovered was built during the first part of the 18th century — Washington was born in 1732 — fit the type of house in which Washington would have lived and also yielded artifacts likely linked to his family.

"Now that we have identified the home, we can begin understanding Washington's childhood," Muraca said, as well as dispel some of the folklore surrounding the president's life. For instance, the tale of Washington's chopping down the cherry tree with a hatchet and confessing to his father has never been proven.

"We see a county-level gentry home," he said. Washington's father "was wealthy within the county … not on the colonial level but locally important, and we see a home befitting that status." The house measured about 53-feet by 37-feet, with a central hallway and two rooms on each side of the hallway.

The eventual goal, Muraca said, is to rebuild the home as it was in the 1740s.

Levy and Muraca spoke at a teleconference organized by the National Geographic Society, which helped fund the work. Research at the location has continued for seven seasons.

The 113-acre Ferry Farm — itself a National Historic Landmark — was known as the former home of the Washington family, but previous attempts to locate the house itself had been unsuccessful.

Most of the wood from the home was reused by builders on other structures or was damaged in the Civil War, and part of the foundation eroded away, the researchers said.

But after digging through layers of dirt the archaeologists found two chimney bases and stone-lined cellars and root cellars.

The cellars held a large number of artifacts including pieces of the house's ceilings and painted walls, fragments of 18th century pottery and other ceramics, glass shards, wig curlers and toothbrush handles made of bone.

Muraca said they also recovered larger objects such as pieces of a tea set that probably belonged to George's mother, Mary Ball Washington; wine bottles, knives, forks and 10 pieces of a group of small figurines that might have stood on a mantel.

They also discovered a well-used pipe bowl, blackened from smoking, that was marked with a Masonic crest. Washington joined the Fredericksburg Lodge of the Masons in 1753.

"While we can't say that this was George Washington's pipe, we can wonder about it," Levy said.

And there were burned remains of a fire at the farm on Christmas Eve, 1740, which Washington mentioned in letters. During the Civil War the farm served as a staging site for Union soldiers attacking Fredericksburg.

Washington was known to swim in the Rappahannock and to take the ferry to Fredericksburg and grew to adulthood at the farm. But he spent less time there as he got older.

He eventually moved to his half-brother's estate at Little Hunting Creek, south of Alexandria, Va., later renamed Mount Vernon.

In addition to National Geographic, the research is funded by the Commonwealth of Virginia, The Dominion Foundation, the Mary Morton Parsons Foundation and many individuals.
Populism is a discourse which supports "the people" versus "the elites".
Populistic thought is what prompted Washington to be the first president rather than Hancock.

The birth of our nation was 232 years ago. It was signed into being in the Constitution. The Constitution is a legally binding document, so that the state cannot override the will of the people. It has served the will of the people and facilitated the will of the people spaciously in some instances like Mum Bett, and erratically or not at all at other times -an example is limiting the right to assembly peaceably and now with the undermining effects of the "patriot act".

What worries me is the Constitution is being exploited and mined of it's strength by special interests that are hell-bent on gaining control of the interests of the US and bending the people to their will in order to do so.

Like, The First Amendment guarantees freedom of assembly, the right of citizens to gather peacefully. And that was a tool meant for the people to cause a little trouble and protest in order to bring about political change. Did you know that many cities require payment from people who wish to assemble??? And nowadays it is a crime to assemble without prior authorization. This totally strips the power of uniting in assemblage!

Another example is the how the patriot act has been used to undermine our most fundamental civil rights.
USA Patriot Act
The "Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism" Act, was signed into law by President George W. Bush on October 26, 2001. The stated purpose of the law is to "deter and punish terrorist acts in the United States and around the world, to enhance law enforcement investigatory tools, and for other purposes."
Text of the USA Patriot Act
USA Patriot Act II
A Justice Department draft of a proposed addition to the USA Patriot Act, the Domestic Security Enhancement Act of 2003, was obtained by the Center for Public Integrity. This proposed act will give "the government broad, sweeping new powers to increase domestic intelligence-gathering, surveillance and law enforcement prerogatives, and simultaneously decrease judicial review and public access to information."

Ooops there goes all of our civil rights, now we live in a police state, where the military judges themselves and judges CAN NOT protect us from their unbridled power.

What worries me the most are the many people who have drank the kool-aid and have been cowed into believing they will not be heard. What these people seem to not realize is that if enough people voiced concerns together to the right people using the right channels -they would be listened to, moreover, they could change the course of this present trend and history by reimpowering the consitution and the People of the United States -exactly as Mum Bett did 227 years ago.
