Railroads were being put down really fast, there were many inventions being invented, ideas were being inspired and they were moving away from the old traditional way of the Europeans.
The Maya and Shang relied on similar agricultural methods and political structures with small kingdoms and one ruler; however, they differed culturally since the Shang had no religion and the Mayans did. Both civilizations organized into hierarchies of power, although the Mayan small city-kingdom system worked better than the Shang decentralized states. Unlike the Mayans, the Shang had many governors and trusted them to carry out the orders. However, the governors were not hundred percent loyal to their king and rebelled a lot. The only reason they stayed in power for a certain time was that they could monopolize their bronze.
Ghazala Noor Hist 117A U.S. History: 1600-1877 Monday 6:00 – 9:10 Was the Salem Witchcraft Hysteria a Product of Women's Search for Power? The two articles in this Issue seek to answer whether the witchcraft hysteria was a product which helped women get power or not. Lyle Koehler is the more persuasive author arguing: yes it was a product of women search for power. In the past, at sixteen to seventeenth century, women had no rights like men, they fought for their rights; however, they didn't get freedoms till the nineteenth century.

The Virginia and Massachusetts Companies both realized that they would need to have a strong economic system, but their views on religion and profit had too many differences and resulted in different systems. The Puritans did not feel the need for “excessive profits” and lived by the belief of self control. The use of company labor and overpricing caused a lot of problems with Virginians.
The Republicans had a much different perspective on politics. The preferred a simpler, agricultural economy and their vision for America was based on agrarian beliefs. Headed by Thomas Jefferson, the Republicans, or Jeffersonians as they were sometimes called, strongly favored more power for the states, instead of the centralized government that the Federalists favored. The Republicans were strongly opposed to the Federalists beliefs, fearing that the expansion of a national government would strip them of their rights and start to resemble that of England’s monarchy. The majority of Republicans were farmers and common folk.
A People’s History of the United States: Reflection Chapter 5 A Kind of Revolution To summarize, this chapter serves to explain about how the common people were wooed into serving in the Revolutionary War. While the rich could control and influence (and even get out of) the drafting, the poor had no such power. However, seeing as slaves and Indians would not want to participate, the white colonists had to be persuaded. This brings to light the immense distinction between the poor and the rich, and as Zinn states, “It seemed that the majority of white colonists, who had a bit of land, or no property at all, were still better off than slaves or indentured servants or Indians, and could be wooed into the coalition of the Revolution,” (Zinn 80). He also says that 10% of the white population owned nearly half of the wealth of the country and held slaves as 1/7th of the country’s people.
They would instead participate in subsistent farming, meaning they grew only what they needed to feed themselves. Beyond this, their main economic activity lied in the lumber and fishing industries due to the close proximity to bountiful resources. By using the environment to their advantage, the colonists could live prosperously in America no matter the reason why they came. Each colonist had a reason to come to America, but none was more prevalent than that of religion. Most emigrants coming to the colonies all worshipped some form of Christianity, and some came to America to freely worship their own sect.
However, many citizens of Southern Florida were outraged by this. Many of the sales went to the Seminoles, taking away from the sales from their own shops. On another historical standpoint, cattle ranching proved to be somewhat effective in providing for the family. This was seldom lucrative for the tribe as a whole, but did provide profits for individual cattle ranchers. Rugged individualism is celebrated throughout the tribe by making an honest living.
Unfree labor in the forms of slavery and indentured servitude was an essential component of the development of the American colonies and the United States after independence. These forms of labor arose due to the lack of wage labor, cost of wage labor, and efficiency of unfree labor. The American colonies and the United States were abundant with resources, but did not have the appropriate (or necessary) capital and labor. Migration from Europe to the colonies was discouraged because of high costs, personal risks, and uncertainties of living in a new land. At first, the Europeans who agreed to set sail to America came from many backgrounds and came with many different motives other than labor.
