Read the passage.
When Jean-Baptist Le Moyne, Sieur de Bienville founded “Nouvelle-Orleans”, or New Orleans, he did not realize that the area flooded from time to time. Ever since, people living in New Orleans have had to find ways of dealing with nature.
New Orleans is located at the entrance of the Mississippi River, making it a great place for trade. People were willing to tolerate certain conditions, such as strong river tides and flooding, in order to do business. Some settlers tried to create drains, but the drains never worked very well because of New Orleans’ geography. Other settlers built levees to keep water out of the city. None of these attempts stopped the city from flooding, but they helped make the flooding less destructive.

By land or by sea from the town to-night,
Hang a lantern aloft in the belfry arch
Of the North Church tower as a signal light,-
One if by land and two if by sea;
And I on the opposite shore will be,
Ready to ride and spread the alarm
Through every Middlesex village and farm,
For the country folk to up and arm.”

George Washington earned a reputation for being an honest leader. Many colonists respected and trusted him to lead the Patriot army.
