The New Englanders did face challenges when they settled in America by not knowing how it was having cold weather and trying to plant in the cold, while some people stayed in America some people left. In the text “New England's Annoyances” states, “ New England were colder than in England. Wild animals ate the settlers’ crops.”.

    The Chesapeake and New England regions were settled by people of English descent, but by 1700, they had become two distinctly different societies. They had evolved so differently, mainly because of the way that the settlers followed their religion, their way of conducting politics and demographics in the colonies. Even though the settlers came from the same homeland: England, each group had its own reasons for coming to the New World and different ideas planned for the colonies.…

    When I read chapter three, “The Truth about the First Thanksgiving,” in the novel “Lies My Teacher Told Me,” this chapter is interesting about the Pilgrims in New England and how textbooks do not go into detail about the struggles the Pilgrims went through. Lowen wants textbooks to assist students to understand the history of the Pilgrims and how they discovered America. In this chapter, Lowen explains the history of the Pilgrims in New England, how and why they got there, and what they found. Before the Pilgrims got to America, an illness called the plague moved across southern New England. This illness was brutal and deadly, it killed a lot of the population in southern New England.…

    “European grazing animals which constituted a heavier burden on New England soil.”(pg 385) More of the forest had been completely wiped out so that the Europeans can begin to create communities and villages on the land and for more grain production. Diseases traveled a lot faster and were much deadly to the Indians. “Livestock whether raised for market or for home consumption were themselves a major reason for the dispersal of colonial settlements. Ecological pressures brought on by overgrazing and inadequate forage reinforce economic incentives flowing more directly from market demand.”(pg 391) New England was becoming more Capital and finding more ways to bring in…

    Additionally, emigrants played a major role in shaping the two regions into what they were becoming. Families would come over with their predetermined beliefs and customs and spread their knowledge among the community. Religious clusters relocated to New England, increasing not only their population, but their physical and mental stability and strength as well. All of the new ideas and cultures brought in from these emigrants would be passed down through generations, forming who we are as a society today. (Shiplist of Emigrants Bound for New England, Document B). With these new people, society had…

    The New England colonies had many different types of migrants that traveled there. Many families with kids, mostly all under the age of 10 years migrated to the New England colonies (Document B). People mainly traveled to New England because of the large amount of landmigrants recieved no matter of their social rank. The right to practice any religion was a huge pull factor to the New England colonies. New England was destined to be a perfect society for all the world to look up to (Document A). They were more focused on religious freedom than the Chesapeake region. Puritans wanted freedom from persecution in England and the amount of puritans who settled in New England was mass because of the discontent they had with the church of England and sought religious, moral and societal reforms. This also explains why the New England migrants were less concerned with relations with England than the Chesapeake region migrants were because of the trade relations the southern regions needed with England to continue to keep succeeding in farming.…

    During the 1700s, the regions of New England and the Chesapeake experienced dramatic changes and stimulated development due to the increase in immigration from Europe to this new world of the Americas. The immigrants that came to the New England colony differed in terms of reasons for coming and differences in ways of establishing a foundation for the society verses the Chesapeake colony. The differentiating motives, interactions between the natives, and the formation of the structure of society created the differences in development between these two distinct societies.…

    In the colonial United States up to seventeen hundred, most of the settlers inhabiting the land happened to be of English origin. Although, they came from the same whereabouts, the two poles of the colonies, north and south, developed two distinct societies. For example, in the New England area the settlers developed an egalitarian, unified, and organized atmosphere, while in the Chesapeake region residents created an aristocratic, unloyal, and scattered environment. But, if they are of the same origin, how did they develop such divergent societies? This difference was a result of opposite immigration and settlement patterns, and motives.…

    According to Cronon , the environment the Europeans first encountered in New England astonished them. Early descriptions were restricted to the coastline, but the accounts all agreed on the surprising level of animal and plant life in New England. The settlers were not used to so much untamed land, as landscape for hunting in England was reserved to large landowners. European settlers were amazed by the absence of domesticated animals, which played a significant role in European agriculture. The cycle of the seasons and the relative climate of…

    These problems caused the death of hundreds of settlers in Jamestown. Without the resources they needed, the colonists would starve to death and become desperate for food and freshwater. They also struggled with unsanitary conditions due to the brackish water they lived off of the festering wastes they dumped into the James River. This may have caused the spread of deadly diseases. There was also the fact that the Natives would ambush and kill the settlers because of their evasive taking of the native’s land and their violent dealings when trading with them along with many other offenses against the opposing sides causing disputes. These factors into the many deaths of the early Jamestown settlers are significant even today because the knowledge of the past is important in understanding how we got here and what tribulations and “necessary” evils had to be taken for the settlement of Jamestown leading to the eventual settlement of the Americas which led to the creation of the United States of America, which we all call home now. The settlers went through so much and almost didn’t survive their endeavor in order to create Jamestown. They came anyways, despite the extreme risks of starvation, dehydration, native ambushes, and disease. Many of them didn’t survive. It can help us understand how the badly the settlers wanted a change. They wanted the freedom to make their own way, which translated into a lot of today’s beliefs. Scores of colonists depart this life before they even made it to the “New world” and many died while going through the extreme task of colonizing a strange new land filled with strange things and limitless possibilities. It can make us understand how much work went into the creation of the world, as we know it…

    He claimed that the geography of New England made for revolutionary thought among small-holders and freemen that was not so evident among those in the tidewater South. But the colonists were "different sorts" to begin with; the Pilgrims and Puritans of the North were outcasts before they came across the Atlantic. The middle-staters of Pennsylvania�--the Quakers�--and especially Maryland�--Catholics, Huguenots, and Presbyterians�--were already in search of a place where they could be different and be at least quasi-independent. To lay the responsibility for the revolution on mountains and streams, thereby ignoring the nature of the people before they arrived, is a bit much to swallow. Were the colonists changed by the land, or were the human changes to the land merely a reflection of the ideas the colonists had with them already, and of the institutional-cultural heritage of these people? At the very least, it is a chicken-and-egg question, but to me it seems that the latter argument is the accurate one.…

    Another major problem during this time was immigration. Many foreigners came to the United States in hopes of finding jobs to provide for their families. However, the glamorous talk of America wasn’t what they found when they arrived. Many newly arrived immigrants were robbed of their belongings at the destination port, and were left to make a new start with absolutely nothing to their name. Settling in also presented challenges when the others started making restrictive covenants,…
