Outer Banks - The narrow strand of barrier islands known as North Carolina's Outer Banks strings for more than 90 miles along the coast from Virginia's border south through Ocracoke and Portsmouth Islands. Bordered by bodies of brackish water on the west (known as "sounds") and by the Atlantic Ocean on the east, these fragile islands are accessible by plane, boat, or by driving over one of several bridges that provide links to the mainland. At the narrowest points, the islands are less than a half-mile wide, and in some areas, they extend out more than 20 miles east of the North Carolina mainland. Despite the apparent inaccessibility, the Outer Banks has been populated for thousands of years. Although today's year-round population barely tops 46,000 people, the area draws nearly 250,000 people each week.

Geography of the Eastern United States - farms and villages, but many of the valleys are wooded glens. As the altitude decreases southeastward, the crystalline belt dips under the coastal plain, near a line marked by the Delaware river from Trenton to Philadelphia, and from there south-southwestward through Maryland and Virginia past the cities of Baltimore, Washington and Richmond. The Pennsylvania portion of the crystalline belt is narrow, because of encroachment upon it by the inward overlap of the coastal plain. It is low not only because of the small Tertiary uplift, but more importantly its even discontinous because of the inclusion of belts of weak non-crystalline rock. Here the rolling uplands are worn down to lowland belts, the longest of which reaches from the southern corner of New York, across New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Maryland, into central.

American roots music - Trailing behind were four other significant genres. African American jazz and blues performers diversified their sound and managed to achieve some success among white Americans. Folk and country music dominated the sound of rural white performers, and both managed to achieve some mainstream success. With the 20th century, the rise of the popular home phonograph began to give competition to the long dominant Tin Pan Alley sheet music publishers, and slowly became a significant force in American music by the 1910s. In the 1920s radio broadcasts of music came on the scene, and together with the recording industry surplanted the sheet music publishers as American music's driving force in the 1930s. In a parallel development, individual performers became more associated with hit songs in the public's mind than the songwriters. Early.
Battle of Gettysburg - Civil War. Shortly after Confederate General Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia won a smashing victory over the Federal Army of the Potomac at the Battle of Chancellorsville (May 1-3, 1863), Lee decided upon a second invasion of the North. Such a move would upset Federal plans for the summer campaigning season and possibly relieve the besieged Confederate garrison at Vicksburg, and it would allow the Confederates to live off the bounty of the rich northern farms while giving war-ravaged Virginia a much needed rest. Also, Lee's 75,000-man army could threaten Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Washington and give voice to the growing peace movement in the North. Thus, on June 3 Lee's army began to shift northward from Fredericksburg, Virginia. In order to attain more efficiency in his commands, Lee had.
