(jamestown virginia) The settlers who came over on the initial three ships were not well-equipped for the life they found in Jamestown. In addition to the “Gentry” who was not accustomed to manual or skilled labor‚ they consisted mainly of English farmers who were not prepared physically or emotionally for the problems that would face them.

The New England and Southern Colonies When the thirteen colonies were finally established in America‚ they were divided into three geographic areas. Two of them were the New England Colonies (Connecticut‚ Rhode Island‚ New Hampshire‚ and Massachusetts) and the Southern colonies (South Carolina‚ North Carolina‚ Virginia‚ Maryland‚ and Georgia). Although they had many things in common‚ both of them had their own religious freedoms‚ crop harvests‚ economies‚ and lifestyles by the end of the seventeenth

There were multiple differences between the life of those who populated the early settlements of Jamestown and New England‚ I actually think they were completely opposite; these differences were influenced by the different formation of these settlements. Jamestown was a settlement supposedly built to spread Christianity but the true aim was to make profit. Jamestown was populated with a majority of men‚ amongst them there were gentry‚ gold seekers‚ criminals‚ men with nothing to lose. Once tobacco

originally settled‚ and when the Mayflower landed‚ the colonists who emerged from the ships had huge plans and tremendous goals for what would come of their own colony. However‚ although both settled regions were the new homes to a majority of the English‚ two separate societies formed. In New England‚ the colonists were religious extremists hoping to form a perfect society‚ while gold hunters with little or no desire to create a permanent home flocked to the Chesapeake region. The colonists in the north were

The Puritans of the New England colonies influenced the development of political‚ economical‚ and social areas throughout the 1630’s-1670 with their ideas and values. They had emigrated from Britain in order to express their beliefs and practices freely. Religion was the foundation of the political‚ economical‚ and social developments of the Puritans.

How did a relatively small European nation like England rise to a position of world power? Obviously this question has many variables. Two major reasons that I feel attributed early on for the English success in becoming a world Empire. First the English persistence “at any cost” attitude when it came to the new world. The English literally sent ship after ship to the colonies even when survival rates were unimaginably low. This disregard for the individual and drive of high class greed is really

In religious and political matters‚ Virginia varied considerably from the New England colonies. The Church of England was the established church in Virginia‚ which meant taxpayers paid for the support of the church whether or not they were Anglicans. A lack of clergymen and few churches kept many Virginians from attending church. Religion thus was of secondary importance in the Virginia colony. While New England was a land of towns and villages surrounded by small farms‚ Virginia and Maryland were

The New England Patriots lost superstar tight end Rob Gronkowski to a season ending back injury in their Week 12 matchup with the New York Jets. Without question‚ Gronkowski’s presence on the field makes New England’s offense a nightmare for opposing defensive coordinators. But if any NFL team can adjust to being without their No. 1 target‚ it’s the Patriots. New England can adjust to Gronk’s absence with plenty of bunch formations‚ which can setup miss matches with linebackers. However‚ the pivotal
