Answer and Explanation:
With the help of commas I was able to distinguish various factors. For example in the start of the paragraph it says that 'with the birth of Sarah Pardee who was bor in in New Haven, Connecticut'. This helps us distinguish that New Haven is a place located in Connecticut.
Combining two independent sentences such as 'she was musically gifted, and knew how to charm all the men'.
The use of full stop also helped to end a sentence and start with a different one keeping the same subject in the loop.
