In which continent was the peanut plant originally grown

The peanut or groundnut (Arachis hypogaea) is a species in the pea family Fabaceae native to South America. It is an annual herbaceous plant growing to 30 to 50 cm (one to one and a half feet) tall.The leaves are alternate, pinnate with four leaflets (two opposite pairs; no terminal leaflet), each leaflet 1 to 7 cm (1/3 to 2.75 inches) long and 1 to 3 cm (1/3 to 1 inch) broad. The flowers are a typical peaflower in shape, 2 to 4 cm (3/4 to one and a half inches) across, yellow with reddish veining. After pollination, the fruit develops into a legume 3 to 7 cm (1 to 2 inches) long containing 2 to 3 (rarely 1 or 4) seeds, which forces its way underground to mature.\n\nAlthough a nut in the culinary sense, in the botanical sense the fruit of the peanut is a woody, indehiscent legume or pod and not technically a nut.\n\nPeanuts are also known as earthnuts, goobers, goober peas, pindas, pinders, manila nuts and monkey nuts (the last of these is often used to mean the entire pod, not just the seeds).\n\nthis information is found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page

I will only help if I can be cited in the essay.  \n\nThere was a triangle of trade.  Manufactured goods would be sent to Africa.  From Africa, slaves were sent to the Caribbean or North America.  Then from the Caribbean or North America goods such as Rice, Sugar, Tobacco, Rum, and Cotton were shipped back to England.\nThat is what I learned in history but for a detailed explanation check out the site below:

It is Hyophorbe. Last known plant is cultivated in the Curepipe Botanical Garden, Mauritius.\nSee IUCN Red List entry for full details (link)

Don't know where you live but in Mexico and probably sothern TX to AZ there is a tree (Leucaena pallida) with edible seeds that really 'clean you out'

Check by visiting the website lists of reputable seed companies such as Thompson and Morgan. Any restrictions on the supply of seed to specific countries will be posted there.  I can't imagine why Canada would choose to proscribe this plant, in the UK it is a common  native weed  but not invasive or an ecological threat.\nWhy would you want to grow it anyway? I spend too much time pulling it out!

why did George Washington carver invent peanuts

There are Ceiba trees at the ruins ... they have pods with many seeds surrounded by a dense mat of cottony fibers. Does this fit? Or it could be a legume (bean-like seed?) of some sort or a member of Bignoniaceae (flat winged seed?). If it is 9 months old it hasn't faced a full Canadian winter yet, I hope you are going to protect it!

truthfully, this song originates from a kid by the name of Carl Brown, Jr. He picked up a peanut on the road one day and just started singing about it. He ended up eating it and it killed him. His father played it for him at the kids funeral and his uncle's brother in law who was head of a major record deal of childerens songs immedietly fell in love with the song.

One. It was called pangaea heres some more info:\n\nPangaea or Pangea (derived from Παγγαία, Greek for "all earth") is the name given to the supercontinent that existed during the Paleozoic and Mesozoic eras, before the process of plate tectonics separated each of the component continents into their current configuration. The name was coined by Alfred Wegener, chief proponent of Continental Drift in 1915.\n\nThe continents apparently first coalesced to form Pangaea about 300 Mya (million years ago), giving rise to several prominent mountain ranges by the process known as orogeny. Several of these ranges still exist, although they have become much lower by means of erosion. The Appalachians of eastern North America, the Atlas Mountains of North Africa, and the Urals of Eurasia are prime examples. The mantle under Pangaea's former location seemingly remained very hot even after coalescence, convection currents within the underlying magma pushing the centre of the supercontinent upward. As a result, the area that is now the continent of Africa was situated tens of meters higher than the surrounding continents.\n\nIn configuration, Pangaea was a C-shaped landmass that spread across the equator. The body of water that was enclosed within the resulting crescent has been named the Tethys Sea. Owing to Pangaea's massive size, the inland regions appear to have been very dry due to the lack of precipitation. The large supercontinent would potentially have allowed terrestrial animals to migrate freely all the way from the South Pole to the North Pole.\n\nThe vast ocean that once surrounded the supercontinent of Pangaea has been named Panthalassa. Pangaea, it seems, broke up about 180 Ma in the Jurassic Period, firstly into two supercontinents (Gondwana to the south and Laurasia to the north), thereafter into the continents as we understand them today.\n\nPangaea was not the first supercontinent. From the evidence available, scientists reconstruct that a predecessor, termed Pannotia, formed about 600 Ma, before dividing again some 50 million years later. Another, Rodinia, apparently formed approximately 1,100 Ma and divided 750 Ma.

There may be similarities, but the answer is definitely no. Corn (the plant -- called maize in the rest of the world) a type of grass. A grass that grows quite big for grass. The part we eat is the "seed-head" of the grass. Originally cultivated in Central America.\nPomegranites are the fruit pods off a specific type of small bushy tree. Probably originally grown in the Middle East or Africa.

Not very long. The north was far more industrialized the the agrarian south. What the person above said is true as well.

Grenada is the actual name of the country. It is known as the spice isle and a major export is nutmeg. I don't know the economy in the 1970s but it was probably nutmeg, bananas and tourism.
