However, most people looked badly upon religions outside of their own. One of the most close-minded settlements in America was New England, this was both a good and a bad thing as it brought the settlers closer together, but also pushed outsiders away. The Middle Colonies accepted many more churches, as there was a greater amount of ethnic and religious diversity. This shows the importance of religion by highlighting how it brought people with common religions together to form colonies and gave incentive to people who lived in England to immigrate to America for more religious freedom than they previously had. Colonists were provided with even more reason to practice their religion and continue their work in America for a better, more liberated life.
Slave trade was significant in the Massachusetts Bay Colonies as well. Even though both colonies had slavery Virginia Colony had more liberty and had better chances for societal advancement. Virginia Colony did not start off so successful. The first few years the economy was in an economic disaster, the land was very swampy and infested with malaria carrying mosquitos. There were a lot a deaths and diseases that spread among the neighboring Indian tribes that sent a lot of them to an early grave including Captain Gosnold the Projector of the Enterprise.
By 1700, their religious practices, family relations, and political differences led them in two different directions. New England was a refuge for religious separatists leaving England, while people who immigrated to the Chesapeake region had no religious motives. John Winthrop states that the Puritan goal was to form "a city upon a hill", which would represent a "pure" community, where Christianity could be pursued (Document A).To New England, religion was considered to be most important thing while the colonists that landed at Jamestown in 1607 were not as religiously inclined as the Puritans. The History of Virginia, written by the leader of the colony John Smith in 1624, describes how hard it was in the first few years at Jamestown (Document F). There was little food, new diseases, lots of quarreling between the settlers and they had many problems with the Indians (Document H).
He and other Congregationalists believed Charles I was more hostile to the Puritans than his father had been. Under his leadership, the Church of England attempted to suppress Puritan practices. Apprehensively, the Congregationalists were convinced that they will no longer be able to practice their religion freely in their homeland. They wanted to remain committed to reforming the Church of England but considered the thought that they can pursue that aim in America. John Winthrop, the governor of the Massachusetts Bay Company, organized the initial migration of the Puritans, transferring the Massachusetts Bay Company headquarters to New England where they settled in the
You’d be surprised how different it really was back in the early 1900s. Schools back in the 1900s had a much more difficult time than students today with all of the technological advances. In the early 1900s schools only had one teacher, a large room to teach in and every grade level to teach. School wasn’t really required back then, most attended but once a male was in about the sixth grade, he would drop out and help work with his father to support the family. They didn’t even know if school would still be around now; they thought that teaching would fail, all together giving up on education.
A 1647 law in Massachusetts required every town to support a school and many communities failed to obey the law. Even though people refused to obey the law, a network of educational establishments emerged. In other areas, the Quakers operated church schools. Widows or unmarried women would conduct “dame schools” in their homes. White male Americans achieved a high degree of literacy while the literacy rate for women lagged behind that of men in the nineteenth century.
This religious association doesn’t stem necessarily from the fact that these were royal colonies because England was ignoring what was going on in these colonies at the time, and they were simply built and operated for business purposes. All of these colonies were established to produce and export cultivation such as rice and tobacco in Virginia and the Carolinas. People who came to these colonies were mainstream Anglican indentured servants who did not come to the new world for religion, but simply for the land and/or money. North Carolina was the product of the split in the earlier colony of Carolina. South Carolina was much more profitable colony while North Carolina was rarely noticed by the crown.
The revolution forced by the Bourgeoisie was for the third estate as well the first two estates to be treated equally. The causes of the two revolutions were very different. The Americans wanted to be out from under the British control. The reason for this is because ever though the Americans and still be considered British colonist, through passing generation the emotional connection to the mother land has been lost. The colonist of America to their self no bigger believed they were or wanted to be British citizens so the Americans dragged Britain in 1775 by starting the revolution and the creating their own government in 1776.
Against Year Round School Argument Year round school presents a very controversial issue that school districts struggle with ever year. The same arguments, facts, and statistics are presented annually, and somehow a conclusion is never reached. Many people believe year round school would be a good change and a step in the right direction. Although there are many positive innovations to year round school, the advantages do not outweigh the disadvantages of retention, cost, breaks, vacations, space, reviews, employment, and scheduling (Political Debates and Polls Forum). The traditional calendar always has been the schedule for school since the 1800s.
Many hoped to get wealthy. But little did they know that for the most, this adventurous trip would come to a sad end. By 1611, out of the 500 settlers that came here to make a new life, 400 were dead. The tragedy of Jamestown could not have been prevented because of the rigorous climate and lack of fresh food and water. The tough climate made it very difficult for the colonists to survive.
