American Pageant Chapter 2 Summary

The chapter highlights reasons for efforts put in by Captain John Smith and Sir Edwin Sandys. It discusses their struggle for the colony and the reasons why after ten years, Jamestown was still not independent. Serving Time demonstrates the expansion and growth of tobacco in the first American boom country as well as how the cultivators used the peons to work in their tobacco fields despite the fact that colony was falling apart in the background. Sir Edwin Sandys has tried to rebuild the Jamestown in three ways. He attracted the new investors by granting them the head rights for introducing and brining in new tenants. He grabbed the attention of new settlers by introducing lotteries. He tried to make the colony a more peaceful and pleasant

13.William Penn- Upon receiving a charter from King Charles II a year later, this English Quaker founded Pennsylvania in 1682 and launched the colony as a "holy experiment" based on religious tolerance.

Economically, the Crown did not provide as much assistance as needed to the colonists of the New World. Trade involved mainly countries other than England, because this way profits were maximized. England, once again, created its colonies for mercantilist reasons: profits and only profits. In reaction to these trade schemes, the Navigation Acts were enforced. Smuggling then grew extremely popular mainly because of price differences and simple convenience. Agriculturally, the main crops were indigo, sugarcane, tobacco, cotton, and rice. Due to high demand, several workers were needed. Through the Triangular trade, raw materials went to England and the Northern Colonies, slaves came to the plantation-dominated areas of the colonies, and manufactured goods went to the West Indies. Molasses was turned into rum in New England and traded for more slaves as well.

1. Beauty, Lionheart, Jeweltonguel, and their father used to live in the city before they had to move because their father, who was a wealthy merchant, lost all his money when his ships got lost at sea. As a family they took a voyage (traveling by sea) to the outskirts of Longchance, where they found a new home, the Rose Cottage. While living in their new home, Beauty discovered that the garden of the house is full of thorns and vines. She founds out that the bushes are roses from an old lady she met in town after asking her some questions. Since Beauty has such passion for gardening, she starts to tend and care for the roses letting them bloom and flourish all throughout their home. The father gets word that one of his ships may have wondered

History is comprised of actual accounts of things that happened, forces that have shaped us, and lessons that we gain. As stated in the introduction, ““Wee will have noe Lords, noe Landgraves noe Cassiques we renounce them all.” With these words, the earliest settlers of North Carolina declared their complete rejection of any social hierarchy in their colony” (I). In Noeleen McIlvenna’s book, A Very Mutinous People, McIlvenna discusses how North Carolina doing their own thing made North Carolina’s history much different from that of any other early North American colony. It is said that, “North Carolina’s story fits none of the familiar models of colonial American history” (14). As a whole, this book reviews the political struggles of the earliest settlers in North Carolina and their eventual loss of freedom. Many were there to escape debt, persecution, and indentured servitude. They became closely allied in the political and sometimes physical fight to retain their lack of connection to the gentrified world.

The purpose of this essay is to explain the historical development of the Thirteen colonies in the time period 1700-1800. It will be shown that the development of the colonies of the south and north differed in this time period. As the colonies developed, the need for independence grew leading to the Revolutionary war in 1776. Slavery was very diverse. In the south slavery was separated into two subcultures: the upper south and lower south. Slavery, however in the north was less vital to the colonial economy. In 1760 monarchism was well established in American culture. Americans were proud of their British culture. In most aspects colonies were already governing themselves for

In the 1700’s many colonies began to emerge in the new world among the two most talked about were the New England and Chesapeake colonies. They are polar opposites, one is all about the people and religion, and the other is about making a great profit. New England and Chesapeake evolved into two different societies, because of three main reasons: differences of economy, social structure, and the reason to settle there. The economies of the colonies varied, in New England there were strict rules on the way they conducted their agricultural business.

In Chapter 4 Washington and his men hurriedly make their way to New York before the defeated British could take it themselves. Conditions were still bad in the army and were worsening daily with outbreaks of small pox and the murder of two soldiers whose bodies were found in a dirty New York brothel. Washington desperately sent for reinforcements yet he never seemed to get as much as he needed. As the British army moved closer to New York Washington began the fortification of New York and Long Island. It was soon rumored that the Loyalists had a plan to assassinate George Washington the moment the British stepped foot in New York causing a massive uproar amongst the people until a certain man was tried guilty and was hung.

Dominic Riel Mr. Pointer US History / Per. 2 13 September, 2014 Chapter 10 Notes A New Shape on an Uncertain Sea • In 1789, the new U.S. Constitution was launched, and population kept doubling every twenty years. • America was heavily in debt, and paper money was worthless.

Balance of trade: the more money the US made based off trades, the more positive balance it was. Mercantilism: an economic system where countries traded with each other for what they needed and to create a balance trade. Navigation Acts: prohibited the colonies from trading with England. Columbian Exchange: Crops were traded to and from North America, Europe, Asia, and Africa together. Triangular Trade/Middle Passage: Triangular Trade is which slaves and goods were sent and exchanged between Africa, England, Europe, West Indies, and the colonies.

The New England colonies were way north of the Chesapeake colonies; this leads to a much colder and snowier winter than experienced down south. Tobacco thrived in Maryland and Virginia, this was the source of much of their economy since with such mild winter it could be grown almost year round. Tobacco would cause them to bring over indentured servants to tend to the labor intensive crop as seen in document 3. The New England economy could not depend on tobacco, the economy instead relied on

Many elements offered ascend to the annihilation of the British in the American Revolution. In the first place there was the way that the British didn't know the area. Without a doubt, the British knew the format of the greater part of the urban communities in America on the grounds that they had been quartered and possessed these urban areas. So obviously they'll beat the pilgrim at these urban communities in light of the fact that the British armed force was prepared at close battle. They out coordinated the pioneers in ability and experience and supplies. However, when they began their boondocks battle that would've crushed the Rebels, the tides changed. The British were currently experiencing the woods and spots that British warriors, generally, have never ventured foot in. The agitators took

A1: Though the three English colonial regions—the Chesapeake area, New England, and Pennsylvania—were all relatively close to each other, there were stark differences between them. To begin with, they all had very different government structures. In the Chesapeake area, the government closely resembled that of England where power resided in one individual. In England there was a king while in Maryland, there was a royal governor. In both cases, the ruling individual had control over all branches of the government; however, the successor of the first governor in Maryland soon realized that colonists would not enjoy fewer liberties in the colonies than at home. Hence, Cecilius Calvert gave up their rights to initiate all colonial laws and shifted power to the people by governing by their advice and with consent. On the other hand, in New England, government was theocratic in nature where church and state were synonymous and where power resided in the leaders of the church. In addition, the Pennsylvanians had a much more democratic government structure where there was a proprietor and a legislative assembly that gave the people the right to appoint government officials—one of many rights that

After the discovery of the New World by Christopher Columbus, many European countries attempted to make settlements in the New World. After the first permanent English settlement at Jamestown, promises of riches and charters from the King brought over many colonists to the New World, creating colonies up and down the Atlantic coast. After this, two distinct regions of colonial America developed, each differing in its lifestyle. However, democratic ideas took root in both areas of Colonial America. Although most of the New England and Southern colonies lacked a strong royal presence, and many established law-making bodies out of their own citizens, the tighter control over the New England colonies by the King of England impinged on their development of self-governing bodies.
