    DBQ French and Indian war

    In the Chesapeake colonies many single men that were younger than 25 migrated over to Virginia (Document C). The rich soil brought many farming and agricultural jobs to that area that drew the younger, more fit population to settle in Virginia region. This area was not a family-friendly area because of the vast amount of wars and land to defend going on between the Indians, and the Dutch (Document G). The main pull factor to the southern colonies was the large cash profit from the harsh labor that nobody else was willing to do. This explains why the more work vulnerable young men that were looking for quick cash migrated to this region because of the rich soil and fair climate to grow crops that were much wanted throughout England, New England and middle colonies. Crops that were a huge profit in the seventeenth century included tobacco and rice that flourished in the Chesapeake region.…

    Descriptive Essay: The Man By Alice Clark

    The salty wind sent Alice Clark’s hair rushing behind her as the boat pulled closer to the dock of the small land mass only minutes away. From her standing position leaning over the rail, she could see the figures of the few people who inhabited the remote place just off of the coast of Nova Scotia. It seemed they had all shown up to see the tourists getting off of the ferry—the visitors of the day.…

    Massachusetts Bay Colony vs. Virginia Colony

    The economics of these colonies varied due to the area in which these colonies were located. Virginian economics were based on a cash-crop industry. This helped lead to the importing of slaves from Africa. Due to this importation of slaves there was a drastic divide in the social structure of Virginia, resulting in a three-layered society. Slaves were at the bottom, small farmers and laborers were in the middle, and wealthy plantation owners were at the top. Society in New England was not nearly as layered. The majority of families occupied what we today call the “middle class”. Although many New England families did own slaves, they typically owned only one or two.…

    Religion in the southern colonies was not practiced with the enthusiasm that it was in New England. While most colonists of the south were Anglicans, they were more focused on their tobacco plantations. The same was true for the Catholic founders of Maryland. As their population grew, Protestants began to outnumber Catholics, though the Catholics…

    Thomas Paine Diary Entry

    We first came to the colonies four years ago, among an unnamed ship coming our farm near a town in south-east england called Canterbury. Although we started to get ready in Canterbury, we had first go say goodbye to family in Thetford, a town about four-hundred and twenty kilometers away round trip. Our cousin Thomas Paine seemed quite convinced that something was bound to go wrong, and that going to the colonies was a large blunder on our part. On our way we crossed the Thames near Dartford on horseback, carrying nothing but extra garments and food for the trip, for we were to return to Canterbury to finish collecting our things and then depart for the colonies. I, Magnus, and my sister, Genevieve, were both hoping to make many new friendships in this new place.…

    New England and the Chesapeake Region Before 1700

    Although New England and the Chesapeake region were both settled largely by the people of English origin, by 1700 the regions had evolved into two distinct societies. The reasons for this distinct development were mostly based on the type on people from England who chose to settle in the two areas, and on the manner in which the areas were settled. <br><br>New England was a refuge for religious separatists leaving England, while people who immigrated to the Chesapeake region had no religious motives. As a result, New England formed a much more religious society then the Chesapeake region. John Winthrop states that their goal was to form "a city upon a hill", which represented a "pure" community, where Christianity would be pursued in the most correct manner. Both the Pilgrims and the Puritans were very religious people. In both cases, the local government was controlled by the same people who controlled the church, and the bible was the basis for all laws and regulations. From the Article of Agreement, Springfield, Massachusetts it is clear that religion was the basis for general laws. It uses the phrase "being by God's providence engaged together to make a plantation", showing that everything was done in God's name. The Wage and Price Regulations in Connecticut is an example of common laws being justified by the bible. Also in this document the word "community " is emphasized, just as Winthrop emphasizes it saying: "we must be knit together in this work as one man". The immigrants to New England formed very family and religiously oriented communities. Looking at the emigrant lists of people bound for New England it is easy to observe that most people came in large families, and large families support the community atmosphere. There were many children among the emigrants, and those children were taught religion from their early childhood, and therefore grew up loyal to the church, and easily controllable by the same. Any deviants from the regime were silenced or…

    Cultural Differences Between Europeans And Native Americans

    One of the benefits received by both the Europeans and the Native Americans was the exchange of the many crops between the two. When the Europeans came to the new world they brought with them wheat, sugar, rice and coffee. The American Indians introduced corn, potatoes, pineapples, tomatoes, tobacco, beans, vanilla and chocolate to the Europeans. According to “The American Pageant” textbook the Europeans were highly affected by the potato crop. The diet of the Europeans was changed when potatoes were brought into the Old World. The potato caused the Old World population to grow quickly.…
