Why do you think early American read so much work produced in England?

The basic assumption for "Early Americans" or at least "Early United Statians", is that, quite frankly, their ancestors came from Great Britain, whether they were fleeing religious persecution, or that they were inmates that were sent west to help relieve overflowing prison system, or even prospectors and adventure seekers. They would establish settlements such as Roanoke and Jamestowns, and with new incomers as well as a growing population, would slowly expand. Remember, these settlers were primarily from England, meaning that English would be their primary language. As such, any works they would read would be in English, and that left mainly works produced in America by British colonists, or else it would simply come from England. Unless they understood a different language, those would be the two places of origin for the information and reading materials that they would acquire.

on 6 november american voters will elect members of the house of representatives and the senate, which together are called congress.

both houses of congress are currently controlled by the republican party, which backs president donald trump.

the democrats think they can win control of the house of representatives this year by winning a majority of seats.

doing so would let them block or delay the president’s plans by refusing to enact them.

all 435 seats in the house of representatives are up for election.

if the democrats want to take control of the house by having the most seats, they’re going to have to claim at least 23 from the republicans.
