The Lewis and Clark’s expedition: purposes and achievements Being founded in 1776, the United State is labeled as a young nation with a large area of land. With a passage of time, the history of the country has been accompanied by numerous trail adventures, which have made connections between many parts of the massive continent. Being known as the Crops Discovery of Expedition, the Lewis and Clark Expedition is one of the most successful explorations that help America turn over a new leaf. The expedition was commissioned by President Thomas Jefferson, based on the ground that the United State was in the need of getting valuable minerals and plants, finding a water route to the Pacific Ocean, establishing trade with Native Americans,
Justification: By reading the exact doctrines handed to early colonial, students can read and interpret for themselves the interweaving of both political and religious ideas. For example, “Thou shalt grant the King a long life: he shall dwell before God forever (4). The Church of England was a part of the government, which many colonists were fleeing. There are prayers also laid out for the sole purpose of exalting the King of England. It is also important to note that this prayer book was published a mere 20 years before independence.
Therefore they called themselves Pilgrims and Puritans. Of Plymouth Plantation is the document of this long journey through which Bradford became a community leader, governor of the Plymouth Colony, writer and considered the main founder of the American Society. In this paper I chose pages 71, 72 and 73 to make a close reading of two paragraphs where Bradford speaks about the visit of Mr. Morton of Merrymount to the Puritan’s colony. I will first do the close reading of these paragraphs; explain my understanding of them, pointing out some details which I will extract from these parts of the text. Then I will discuss about the literary techniques applied in Bradford’s narrative, regarding these paragraphs above mentioned.
Understanding the Culture of the Amish ANT 101 Understanding the Culture of the Amish When America was first founded, the people to first colonize and populate the new world were those trying to escape religious prosecution in Europe. As time passed in America, different religions came as well as different people. Despite the evolution of religion, technology, and the American belief and value system, there has been a particular group of people in America who continue to maintain the same religious traditions as their forefathers before them. That group is called the Amish Mennonites, or more commonly known as The Amish. The Amish are an agriculturalist society.
It goes on to explain that Americans before the great migration of the 1840s migrated for the attraction of fur businesses. They would marry natives and established connections with tribes. Many different areas began to migrate to these areas for the opportunity of trade also. On page 427 it says that Americans also used the phrase Manifest Destiny. It was used to describe accompanied territorial movement.
Sean Myers SRE #2 Hanging in the Balance This article was an awesome read, and really taught me a lot. Growing up we learn so much about pilgrims and native Americans, some of the first people to live here in America. Of course, the pilgrims came to America from Europe in hopes of settling down in what would later become an independent nation. The Native Americans on the other hand, had been in America for many years years before the settlers came and started to move them out of the way. As a nation, America should be proud of the first people that lived there, and should embrace Native Americans as a part of our history.
The Cherokees were important to the U.S. war because some of them were commissioned as officers. That is the importance of the Cherokees during war and how they are helpful and supportive to the U.S.. My second explanation is about their religion, or what they have created from the past century from living in the land of the Georgians. Cherokees have been living in Georgia for more than one hundred years. They even created their own newspaper and have a printing press. They created a real nation with their own written language.
From here, the people of Jamestown learned different farming and agricultural techniques that were beneficial to their survival. Smith wrote of many stories about his explorations of the Chesapeake Bay and Jamestown area. His best known work was entitled “The General History of Virginia”. Smith also contributed with his drawings of the “Map of Virginia”, which was used by many settlers exploring the area known today as Virginia (Wikipedia The Free Encyclopedia). Without this information the colony in the New World would have no place in history.
People began to identify themselves through cultural factors such as language, music, and architecture, along with political factors such as government types and boundaries were starting to be identified on a national level. These nation states used the state as an instrument of national unity through architecture with not only construction but reconstruction. Architecture has always been used to express power but now the task of the architect was to design national environments and create national symbols. The foundation place of this was pursued in the rural countryside because it was only there that time stood still. Shortly after the discovery of the New World, Europeans began sailing across the Atlantic ocean, bringing across with them the acquired knowledge that has since been known to man at the time.
After that I came to America, I realize that I need help from other people around me. According to Convey, that is interindependence. From a girl grew up in a countryside, I moved to a big city for school, and came to America. My life’s paradigms have been shifted. Reading through each habit, I can see what I am doing right and what I need to adjust for my paradigm.
