Jamestown was located near a swamp, ground that is always wet. what problem did jamestown colonists have because of this location?

The people living in the colony of Jamestown had a very big problem with the swampy surroundings because the swamp was attracting lots of mosquitoes, and the mosquitoes were transporting diseases with them. Because there were lots of mosquitoes, people were getting stung by them on a daily basis and it happened very often that they would get some disease from them, and while some diseases did not caused big problems, some were fatal.

union blockade

explanation:

the union blockade in the american civil war was a naval strategy by the united states to prevent the confederacy from trading.

the blockade was proclaimed by president abraham lincoln in april 1861, and required the monitoring of 3,500 miles (5,600 km) of atlantic and gulf coastline, including 12 major ports, notably new orleans and mobile. those blockade runners fast enough to evade the union navy could only carry a small fraction of the supplies needed. they were operated largely by british citizens, making use of neutral ports such as havana, nassau and bermuda. the union commissioned around 500 ships, which destroyed or captured about 1,500 blockade runners over the course of the war.

i think the answer is: cuba wanted to be independent from spain, and the u.s. wanted to end spanish rule in the west.
