They came for a variety of reasons, but all wanted a better life. Carving a better life out of the vast wilderness the early colonists found in North America challenged even the hardiest of those early pioneers. In England and in much of Europe, the poor were chronically unemployed, and opportunities to rise out of poverty were scarce; by comparison, almost any alternative might have seemed promising, Europe in 1600 had lots of push. On the other hand, conditions in early America were difficult, to say the least, but the “pull factor” was helped by what can only be characterized as propaganda. Proprietors of the companies that sponsored American colonies quickly realized that settlers were needed if their investments were to show a return, and their efforts to recruit settlers made the New World appear far more attractive than conditions warranted.
Although both groups had similar purposes for their explorations, they have different goals, the achievements and failures. were more concerned with colonization, debtors and prisoners to get rid of the old world, and to achieve religious freedom. Spanish and English explorers to support the newly settled colonies need to make some sort of revenue.They also harvesting sugarcane, "rich man's crop", investment and although it took hard work and labor, and slaves require a large amount of work, it was still a source of income. They also set up foreign trade. Central and South America had settled in Spanish, the English chose to explore North America.Either find it or steal gold, or by serving as a trading post was established to make money.Tobacco proved to be easy to develop and bring in a great deal of revenue for the colony.
Hakluyt was worry about the wandering beggars, “The… wandering beggars.” Many soldiers and servitors were hardly paid and were in much danger ,”Many soldiers and servitors, in the end of the wars, that might be hurtful to this realm.” England can get anything they want for the reason soil is rich and can make anything England want, “The soil yields and may be made to yield all the several commodities of Europe.” Hakluyt thinks the Indians of North America will welcome English colonizers as bearers of liberty because they would rescued from Spain’s hold. Hakluyt believes that English colonization in America would have enough influence to compete with Spain on labor, good, and religion. Knowing that the Indians would like to escape Spain’s grip gives enough reason to believe they would think as the English colonizers as bearers of liberty. Hakluyt seems to be so intent on reducing the power of Spain because there was a pivotal motive behind Hakluyt intention of reducing the power of Spain. Hakluyt imposed himself of task of positioning the protestant England in the colonial race and him the biggest hindrance to the emergence of England as an expensive colonial power was the catholic Spain.
Britain's national debt doubled during the course of the war and the cost of extended empire cause a dramatic increase in the cost of living. Conflicts arose between the Americans about expanding further past the Ohio Valley and Britain but England did not step in. Some English leaders thought the colonists were inferior and gave them the lowly jobs during the war; they also resented the Americans for their increasing wealth with a rapidly increasing population. Once Britain decided to "intervene more actively in American affairs" disagreement and trouble aroused; the Americans were used to their freedom and were not ready to be dictated by a ruler (97). Due to constant attacks by the Indians and the cost of keeping America under British rule, King George III
America’s decision to declare independence form Great Britain was both due the change of economic policies and to the development of refining life and liberty. After driving the French out, with help from the Indians and British troops, colonist began to quarrel with Parliament’s insistence of testing the limits of their power in North America. Their control was made difficult when residents decided to smuggle and boycott goods. Eventually, the colonies resistance and loss of patience would lead them directly to independence. The Proclamation of 1763 was the first to anger the colonist.
As a result, the tension throughout the colonies, eventually led to the First American Revolution. However, at that time in Colonial Virginia, the lax laws were no longer effective in establishing clear policies to deal with problems or to instill new lifeblood into the province’s economy. Simply put, the problems that affected the population before Bacon’s Rebellion gave strength to Nathaniel Bacon. The nature of Bacon’s Rebellion does seem to be the beginnings of America’s quest for independence; however, this was more a coincidence. Closer examination of this period in history illustrates what Jamestown’s condition was a power struggle between two distinct personalities that nearly destroyed Jamestown.
The only problem with this idea is that other countries began to feel threatened not only by America but by other countries also. It was not a complete shock when Spain and America went to war. Since the idea of imperialism was being tossed around by countries, Spain had control over Cuba and other countries, the goods that were being exported from these countries to America and surrounding areas were being threatened to be cut off. American ended up going to war with Spain to prevent these things from happening. Just think if Spain still had control over Cuba and Hawaii, we would have to spend more money as a country to import sugar and pineapples.
Their main reason for that was that the creation of new states would decrease their power in congress. The Louisiana Purchase was not the only time Jefferson adopted the ideas of federalists about loose construction of the constitution. After he was reelected, war soon broke out in Europe between English and French. British needed more manpower and financial aid for the war soon began impressing American sailors and stealing their cargo. This made trade between the United States and Europe unsafe.
There were great differences as well as similarities in the impact of interactions by the Spanish to both the Colonial Spanish-America and the Ottoman Empire. The Spanish had a much more overpowering impact to the Colonial Spanish-America seeing as to the many changes that left the native culture disappearing or fading while the conquerors dominated, unlike in the Ottoman Empire. A social hierarchy was formed based on race as the native and non-native people mixed. The only class to hold high government power was those who were born in Spain which shows their dominance. This left the Native Americans and Africans in the bottom of the hierarchy while being denied many economic opportunities.
Exploration, discovery, and hardships can simply summarize expansion from Europe to the “New World.” Explorers from both Spain and England came over to the new land, and they established homes and encountered several new and difficult situations. The Spanish settled lower into South America, whilst the British opted for the East Coast of North America. Both European countries differed in cultures and beliefs, yet both desired more land. What is even more, they were both culturally and economically affected by the Indians of the Americas because of their different approaches to the Indians. The Spanish aspired to conquer the Indians and their land and they forced their religion onto the Indians.
