These New Jersey congregations were part of those Reformed churches that formed in 1628.…

    On one hand, it is easy to believe that Pitt did bring about national revival but on the other hand there are many factors that may lead one to believe otherwise. For example, the end of the American war and the Industrial Revolution both would have happened whether Pitt was in power or not. But many factors, such as Pitt’s natural skill and his reform ideas, helped him to contribute to the national revival.…

    In many respects Wolsey’s foreign policies were very effective in confirming Henry VIII’s royal authority and demonstrating his strengths, however in other ways they did not show this quite as well instead leaving him isolated. Many events need to be taken into consideration when deciding on the effectiveness of Wolsey’s foreign policies, these are the Anglo-Spanish treaty, the treaty of London, the field of cloth and gold, the election for Holy Roman Emperor after the death of Maximillian, his treaties during the second French war and finally his attempts at gaining an annulment for Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon.…

    King George III and the British accumulated a massive debt after the French and Indian war. British assets were depleting at an exponential rate, so Parliament decided to tax the colonists in order to offset their expenses from the war. By reducing the debt from the seven-year war King George’s could reign over the colonies for many years to come. Evidently taxing anyone who was neglected during the seven years’ war was the ultimate plan of alleviating the debt. British could keep stacking riches to their empire thus strengthening it more. Taxation came in many forms, the first was the Sugar Act (1764), the Stamp Act (1765) and the Townshend Duties (1767). Consequently, Colonists in the 13 states suffered higher expenditures, even imported…

    1. Hakluyt’s arguments for colonization included agricultural use of the land, spread of their religion, easy to travel to (for trade), it would increase money in the economy because they would stop trade with other countries, they could increase their realm with their wealth that they earn from colonization of America, and they could defeat their enemies with their new found wealth. Some of the arguments are more persuasive the others after four hundred years. The amount of money they would earn from colonizing the New World is less persuasive because although it would increase their economy, England would not be wealthy enough to defeat multiple European countries.…

    Trans-Atlantic Trade

    The role of trans-Atlantic trade and Great Britain’s mercantilist policies in the economic development of the British North American colonies in the period from 1650 to 1750 was to create the colonies into self-sufficient areas of living. Triangular trade within the United States, Great Britain, the West Indies, and Africa helped to distribute and/or import and export essential factors. The theory of mercantilism is “that a state should be as economically self-sufficient as possible” and it stipulates that in order to build economic strength, a nation must export more than it imports. The mercantilist policies of Great Britain were rules and regulations that every country and colony participating in the trans-Atlantic trade had to abide by. These rules helped build a firm ground for those countries and colonies, like the British North American colonies that were trying to become financially dependent on themselves.…
