The Three Major Colonial Empires in the New World
Differences of the Three Major Colonial Empires in the New World
The three main colonial empires in the New World were the British, French, and Spanish empires. They had various differences in societal, economic, political, and religious outlooks. They also left behind some legacies, which even today seem to resonate.
The British Colonial Empire thought that gold was everywhere, but they never found any. They had money from mercantile trade colonies and they were economically independent by 1750. When it came to religion, the British Empire had many religious refugees and their religion varied colony by colony. They were often Anglican though, which is also known as Anglicanism. “Anglicanism is a tradition within Christianity comprising churches with historical connections to the Church of England or similar beliefs, worship and church structures” (Anglicanism, 2011). England had a self-owned government and salutary neglect until 1763; along with mercantilism, which varied colony by colony as well. England was considered an outcast, and their economic foundation in the North East was codfish. In the South, theirs were sugar, tobacco, cotton, indigo, rice and peppers state-sponsored monopolies, capitalistic, or corporate charter. Farmers invested in and then sold land. Some of England’s legacies consisted of Anglo-Saxon, language, heritage, similar political systems, capitalism, individualism, common legal systems, and their emphasis on rights.
The French Colonial Empire was a Catholic Empire, also known as the Black Robes. Their economic base was selling fur and later after 1830, they were selling timber. The French motivation for colonizing was the North West passage, the tight traction on global competition with England, and Spain.
The French government was controlled by Champlain, a Royal Governor, who was thought to be invincible. However, France had a minimal population problem. The French Colonial Empire left behind legacies such as French
