However, over time the two regions evolved into two distinct societies. These patterns in evolution will cause the regions to grow apart and, eventually in the future, rebel against one another. Although the evolution occurring in the 17th and 18th centuries would lead to diversity involving three important factors: social issues, economics, and politics. The first factor accounting for the differing development is social issues. The Chesapeake region was mainly populated by young men (and some women), who are mostly possibly indentured servants (Doc C). Being independent, these people migrated to this area seeking riches or a new beginning. As time progressed, the colonies in the Chesapeake began to disperse creating a social stratification. In 1676, this social gap will spark an uprising called Bacon’s Rebellion. After leader Nathaniel Bacon forced the House of Burgesses to authorize him to attack the Indians, Governor George Berkeley declared Bacon and his followers – land-hungry, white, indentured servants and slaves, who were a majority of Virginia’s

    Many factors led up to Bacon's Rebellion of 1675-1676 such as the end of salutary neglect in the New England colonies that resulted in England taking control of the colonies and creating high taxes on the their products. As well as former indentured servants being attacked by natives in their attempts at finding free land to the West and royal governor Berkeley stopping elections in the House of Burgesses for nearly fourteen years (HC).

    During the 1600’s many ideas and values affected the political, economic, and social development of the New England colonies (specifically from 1630 through the 1660’s) . The puritains had a close kinship, for example “working as one man”, and entertaining eachother in brotherly affection. The Puritans were a significant grouping of English Protestants in the 16th and 17th centuries. Puritanism in this sense was founded by some Marian exiles from the clergy shortly after the accession of Elizabeth I of England in 1558, as an activist movement within the Church of England. The designation "Puritan" is often incorrectly used, notably based on the assumption that hedonism and Puritanism are antonyms: Historically, the word was used to characterize the Protestant group as extremists similar to the Cathari of France, and according to Thomas Fuller in his Church History dated back to 1564, Archbishop Matthew Parker of that time used it and "precisian" with the sense of modern "stickler".…

    1.) American society wasn’t that democratic during the colonial days. Although it was much more democratic than England, it still wasn’t quite there yet. The constitution wasn’t signed and agreed upon until 1787, and before the turn of the 18th century, the colonies were a big mess. Most cities had an oligarchy, meaning a religious leader was in charge, making everyone abide by their rules, although it was often less religious and more on the tyrannical side. There wasn’t much separation of church and state. The only people who could vote were members of the church in most colonies, although some colonies allowed white men who owned property to have the right of franchise. People were hung, flogged, and exiled. Indentured servants had it bad,…
