    Why Did The Mayflower Compact

    Since the Pilgrims did not intend to settle at Cape Cod, they did not have a land patent, (a document that granted land to a colony, but didn't give permission to establish local law there), to settle in that area. The pilgrims worried that they did not have permission to settle there and they were concerned that without any social order, the colony would fail, much like earlier colonies did. Since some of the passengers on the ship were not separatists, they questioned the pilgrims’ authority. As a result the colonists wrote a social contract called The Mayflower Compact that established a local government and obliged the people to follow the rules of this government until they could obtain a new patent. The colony of Plymouth thus…

    THe Mayflower Compacts signifigance

    The Mayflower Compact was the principle ideal of the Pilgrims and was also the government set type for them and future generations. The Compact was written on the ship named Mayflower, hence the name Mayflower Compact, and all of the people aboard were bound to it. Furthermore, it was only the second government system to be established by the Europeans in North America, with only Jamestown being established beforehand. As a result of this, the Mayflower Compact has a big significance in American History, because it established a government where religion was not a central factor in it.…

    Early Jamestown Research Paper

    The time from 1609-1610 is called the starving time in Jamestown. In Jamestown, during this time period, there was little food, meager leadership, and the native people were killing as many of the settlers that they could get their hands on. King James I was aware of all the problems that the settlement was facing and so he sent nine ships to the settlement. The nine ships were carrying food and more settlers, due to the amount of settlers that were there dying. But due to bad weather, many of the ships were separated from one another and impaired. The largest ship, the Sea Venture, was shipwrecked on the Island of Bermuda with most of the supplies and leaders such as Captain Christopher Newport, Sir George Somers, and Sir Thomas Gates and…

    How Did Kosciuszko Contribute To The American Revolution?

    The eighteenth century was a period of war and revolution all over the world. As ideas of the Enlightenment flourished, people in all nations began to speak up about the idea of liberty. The first English settlers came to Jamestown, Virginia in 1607 to elude persecution in their homeland. These immigrants established their safe haven under principles of freedom. Unfortunately, after several decades British policy became evidently unfair and abusive toward their own citizens, inspiring the colonists to stand up for their independence.…

    Jamestown Research Paper

    When the English settlers founded Jamestown in 1607, slaves were not being used anywhere in America. The Jamestown settlement was very important for the English because it started a continuous English presence in America. The original goal of the settlers was to spread christianity to the native communities(Johnson 23). After a while, the English discovered that tobacco could be easily produced in the Americas and they quickly began producing it in mass. Due to Jamestown’s mass production of tobacco, slaves were needed to work on plantations which ultimately led to chattel slavery spreading throughout the country(Johnson 27). The progression of slavery in America had three sections: The discovery of tobacco, the need for slaves to grow tobacco and other colonies adapting to the newly found slave labor, and without Jamestown…

    Copland’s National Work: Appalachian Spring

    In the early 20th century, American artists sought the utility between music and society. Composers faced the dilemma of being a musician in a culture with little serious music tradition. Aaron Copland once wrote: “ (I) lived in an environment (New York City) that had little or no connection with serious music. Artists had deep desires to contribute meaningfully to the life of the nation and to see music filling a real need in American society. As a leading composer who sought the integration of music and life, Aaron Copland expressed his belief in Appalachian Spring that music should appeal to a broader public without losing high musical standards. To achieve this, Copland created the American modern style by combining Neo-classical elements such as motivic unity and variation technique into folk melody and style.…

    The Chesapeake Colonists

    This fact, combined with the high mortality rate from disease slowed population growth considerably. In Virginia, the colonists made their riches by cultivating tobacco, setting a pattern that was followed in the Carolinas and Maryland. Chesapeake was an enormous agricultural tobacco land, which was connected by the waters of the Chesapeake Bay extremely and was spread out. Plantations were established by riverbanks for the fertile soil and to ensure ease of transportation because wealthy planters built their own wharves on the Chesapeake to ship their crop to England. The Chesapeake colonists created a more aristocratic society. The existence of slaves created an economic gap between poor Chesapeake farmers and the wealthy, with the wealthy…

    Colonial America Research Paper

    Fashion is an essential part of life and this is especially true for Colonial America. The reason fashion played an important role in colonial life is because it depicts status, connects the colonists to Europe, and helps them express themselves. Clothing also helps explain a great deal about the colonists in America. Colonial America’s fashion was influenced by Europe, but ultimately became American through creating clothing styles specifically for colonists’ daily needs (Loren, 4).…

    Westward Expansion Research Paper

    The westward expansion of the United States can be argued for progress, greed and racism. It can be argued for progress because in order for the United States to grow and prosper as a country, they needed more land, the only way to get more land to expand and explore. Although the United States were willing to do anything to expand, this meant they were willing to kill anyone in their way if they did not compromise with the United States; this is when greed and racism take part. The westward expansion can be argued with greed and racism because the United States brutally massacred many Native Americans and tribes who would not compromise with the United States, massacres such as the Sand Creek Massacre where the…

    American Westward Migration Thesis

    American Westward migration during the nineteenth century was a difficult journey for various reasons. Emotionally many of the migrants were leaving the majority of their friends, family and belongings behind. Additionally there was the stress of having to lighten the load by walking the journey or leaving behind precious belongings along the way. Emigrants traveled in wagon trains banded together with other single men heading to gold rushes, or in groups of extended family and neighbors. The hardships of the journey stressed those traveling and added to fears from reported attacks, disease and many other disasters imagined and real. {THESIS STATEMENT:?}Disease was a major part of American life, and while it affected life on the overland trails,…

    The Wilmot Proviso came about when President Polk asked Congress for $2 million dollars, during the Mexican War, in an attempt to buy peace with Mexico. This Proviso named after its sponsor David Wilmot, an antislavery Democrat from Pennsylvania, was an attempt by opponents of slavery to prevent slaves to be introduction into the newly purchased territories from Mexico after the war. The proviso passed the House but not the Senate due to the Southern take on slavery. They wanted equal rights as Americans to move into these new territories with their possessions and slaves in the South were considered property.…
