The pros of the columbian exchange do outweigh the cons for me. Without the columbian exchange, I probably wouldn’t be here. My dad’s part of the family is from Italy and Ireland and my mom’s side is from Ireland and Sweden mostly. The Columbian exchange made a big impact on my life and basically made my life.…
Charles II and James II created and implemented uniform laws in order to control their colonies. In order to enforce these legal codes, many aristocrats were given office and supervision over the colonies which allowed for maximum efficiency. Evidently, this is seen in the case of the Dominion of New England, where Edmund Andros was appointed to govern the royal province. By creating the Dominion, James II hoped to obtain a more centralized government within the colony.…

“The North American Republic has already absorbed territories pertaining to Great Britain, France, Spain, and Mexico. It has employed every means to accomplish this - purchase as well as usurpation, skill as well as force, and nothing has restrained it when treating of territorial acquisition. Louisiana, the Floridas, Oregon, and Texas, have successively fallen into its power” (Alcaraz).…
There are two popular views of the Boston Massacre, the pro-colonist view and the pro-British view. Neither of the views are entirely accurate, the true events of that night are found in the ‘middle ground’ of the accounts.

They were also mad that the British for setting boundaries on what they could do. Even though the British helped them with wars and only taxed them to pay off debt, they were still in the wrong.…
Throughout history, a multitude of nations have intended to resolve their differences and conflicts with their ruling bodies, but ultimately resorted to a revolution in order to make the changes they sought to become a reality. A prime example of this was the American Revolution during the late eighteenth century. In the 1760’s and leading into the 1770’s, many colonists agreed that the British were neglecting the complaints of the colonies and generally failing to satisfy the needs of the colonists. As a result, peace was attempted and many compromises and appeals were submitted to Britain, but to no avail. Ultimately, the colonists resorted to separating from Britain and declaring America an independent nation. Therefore, there was a shift…
The British had colonization all over the world and the most abundant were Americas.

In this time period, I would have been a wife to a delegate, seeing as I am a female and can not be a delegate myself, and I would've like to be a Northern colonist. As a woman, I would have felt pressure caring for any children that I might have had due to the idea of republican motherhood though I would have had better opportunities in education than the original colonist women probably had (Kennedy 159). Being an individual person, I would probably have my own opinions when it came to certain things. I would most likely be for the abolishment of the slave trade because, being from the north, there would not be as much need for slaves where I lived because most slaves lived in the southern colonies and worked on large southern plantations (Kennedy 68-69). It was also…
From: Imperialism and World Politics, Parker T. Moore, 1926 To begin with, there are the exporters and manufacturers of certain goods used in the colonies. The makers of cotton and iron goods have been very much interested in imperialism. Their business interests demand that colonial markets should be opened and developed and that foreign competitors should be shut out. Such aims require political control and imperialism. Finally, the most powerful of all business groups are the bankers. Banks make loans to colonies and backward countries for building railways and steamship lines. They also make loans to colonial plantation owners, importers, and exporters. The imperialist business interests have powerful allies.…
