    Objective C Paper

    What started the thriving economical relationship between the northern colonies and the west indies was a handful of weathy people and events. The enabler of this success was Henry Winthrop who his father John Winthrop who was a puritan and later was the founding governor of the Massachusetts bay colony. Henry in 1627 landed on the island of Barbados with the aspirations of being a planter but was short on indentured servants to get the plantation going . During this time many puritans were leaving England for the colonies but many other puritans were going to the Caribbean and setting up sugar plantations which was the main cash crop besides tobacco. With sugar being a huge cash crop and with the many plantations being set up around the Caribbean this started a huge surge of African slaves that were sent over to do the grueling work of working the sugar fields because of the lack of indentured servants.…

    Compare And Contrast The English Strategy For The Colonies

    The English strategy for colonies was to create a very tight knit group of people to survive in a place where it would take years for any help to come. They didn't even have anything to get back to England. They all voluntarily came there. They were supposed to treat each other with "kindness and patience" make America seem amazing in every way. Like it just made people nice and productive. That was supposed to make other people want to come there. That strategy was also supposed to make people want to be like the city on the hill. In other words they wanted people to be like the best city. That was just little bit so that the people sending the colonists would make money but it was also to make sure the colonies survived and were easy…

    The Narrative Of Arthur Barlowe: England's Colonization

    Based on the primary sources we read on class I think that England’s colonization in Virginia was overall successful. According to the narrative of Arthur Barlowe in 1584 you can see that the natives were very nice. Barlowe talks about trading with them and how the king always kept his promise and gave them food. “He sent us every day a brace or two of fat bucks, conies, hares, fish, the best of the world”. Barlowe describes the land as very plentiful he even says the natives got better oaks that they do on England. In this narrative the impression of the natives is friendly and very kind to the English. On the contrary there are two more narratives one from Thomas Harriot and one from John Smith that show a very different…

    How Did English Influence Colonization

    As colonization continued, the Carolinas used slaving raids as a tool of war against Spanish Florida. They also used them as a means of raising capital. Traders employed Native American tribes who were, at the time, allied with them, like the Savannah, to go and raid their neighbors. Groups like the Kussoe, who refused to participate in raids, were ruthlessly attacked. When the Westo, previously English allies who extensively raided their region for slaves, outlived their usefulness, they were enslaved the same way as they enslaved the other tribes. As English influence grew, the choice of participating in a slave raid or becoming slaved extended raiding parties west across the Appalachians onto the Spanish’s mission doorsteps. Slavery became…

    The Effects of Imperialism

    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.…
